Mike James averaged a 58% FG% by the end of November. That's 17 games into the season. He lost his minutes a few games afterwards. Points to ponder: *Rockets had 6 game losing streak *FG% dipped at the tail end of November *Inconsistent play throughout the team early on *IMO is severely overlooked, playing alongside Bonzi. Hopefully another GM will see he is still an asset just not a good fit on the Rockets.
what about when yao is on the bench and him and scola play together. there is no double team then, and he still plays consistant!
Saw MJ get some garbage minutes today. Still wasn't passing the ball, but instead looking for his own shot...
Here's a question. Everyone is talking about how AB should be handled, given minutes or not. How was Cassell handled his rookie year (1st championship year)? Did he hit a rookie wall? Did he still get his minutes despite this? I know they are different players, and we had a two better PG then than now in Brooks and Smith vs. Rafer and James, but just was wondering. What worked once, may work again...
