That's right ! We have the 2nd best PG in the league in Steve Francis and the 2nd best Center in the league in Yao Ming ! We have the best backup center in Cato ! We got gutsy, no fear man Cuttino Mobley ! We have one of the best shot blockers in the league in Eddie Griffin ! We have one of the purest 3 point shooters in the league in Rice ! We have a great defender in Hawkins ! and, we have Boki on the bench ! This is a good team which will be excellent next year, if not by june...They are trying to change their entire system since Yao Ming arrived...they haven't played with a center for 3 years now...so they haven't managed to get Yao the ball in good conditions, big deal ! these guys did not know what a center was until 2 months ago There, i feel good now !
Only 3 games above .500 but still 3rd in our division and 5th in the conference only percentage points behind SA and Phoenix...when was the last time that happened ? Look at some of those losses we've had: @ Phoenix L 88-87 @ L.A. Clippers L 90-89 @ New Orleans L 98-96(OT) @ Memphis L 114-109(OT) That's 2 in OT and 2 by 1 pt.....With just a little luck this team could have been 17-6, and 2nd best record in the league ! You can do a lot with "ifs" but we really are not far from being there... Before last night our thinnest margin of victory was 3 points against Portland and 4 against the Lakers... We finally got some lucky bounces last night... Therefore, when you look at the facts with a cool head, and not after a devastating loss to Memphis, when you feel like trading every player except Boki, we have a good team on the floor and they have the rest of the year to prove it...
This team just needs to figure out who their pf is gonna be a run with him. I think they need to get Mo Taylor minutes and get him going becuase he will shoot at the right times during critical situations and no when to pass instead of being like KT that first things he thinks to do is do that lil spin move and clank it off the backboard right into the hands of the opposing teams player.
