    Rox is losing games, and we are blaming our PGs.

    1. Rafer is not going to shoot well, and he will be worse if his shooting attempts are limited. He needs shoot more to get his confidence back but can we afford that? I do think he runs better offense with Tracy than the others.
    2. Steve was our all star, most fans here have faith on him. But obviously he sees no hope to play soon. Snyder even plays ahead of him. This year's Steve is last year's Bonzi. This is nothing about his talent. Calling on steve from crowds or fans only makes thing worse. You know the human nature.

    Can we try a Rookie instead?

    Why play a rookie over somebody who is a proven NBA vet like Francis? Brooks is young, he still has plenty of to make a name for himself.

    We have a Dilemma. Do you have a better answer than AB at PG?

    Francis needs to be traded if rick won't play him, he is becoming a distraction at every home game. We are in tight down to the wire game in the 4th quarter and the fans are chanting,WE WANT STEVE

    I think the first choice should be Francis. If there's ever a time to prove himself, It's now against the Spurs. He can't have a bad game. Rafer should start, but should not shoot. James needs to control the game instead of running around the court trying to get a shot off. If not Francis, then give Brooks a shot to counterattack what Parker will do.

    Rafer is a PG that can't shoot, Steve is a SG that can't assist.

    Point guard play has been terrible, If I was rick I would give francis a shot and head more playing time. James and RA need to be benched

    If this is the case for many weeks, then you got to think about finding a new coach.

    Funny how Mike James is slyly omitted from all of these PG dilemma threads. Wasn't he supposed to save that position? Where are all the people from last year talking about how if we had James instead of Alston, we'd be a title contender?

    2nd worst shooting percentage on the team, and above Alston by only 1.1% at that. Less than a third of his shots fall. Doesn't keep him from taking the most shots besides McGrady and Yao, though.

    All this, and Sticky Fingers can't distribute the ball to anyone but the rim, either. Fantastic.

    I don't anyone shooting more to gain confidence expecially when he's a career 38 percent shooter.

    Then Rafer will be left open all night. How could we win a game playing like 4 against 5? Tracy or Ming will be doubled all night! If we have to suck this up, we have to let Rafer to shoot. We win if those shots fall.
