Now that Rice is on IR, who will call the much needed team meeting? I am sure if Rice was around , he would have called one and demanded for the ball to be passed around. The team needs to regroup and start using the much talked about motion offense.
You would think that after the 3rd team meeting, additional ones would be less and less effective. It's like Foley's having a Red Apple Sale 365 days a week....
We ain't need team meeting yet, because the teams we just lost are the good teams, and also we were tired by giving all out for the lakers game. If those are the lesser team, team meeting sure will be on its way.
We lost against 2 of the best teams in the league, after beating 3 of the best teams in the league. Put Yao Ming on the IL for 5 games, let him rest.
There is no shame in losing to the Spurs and the Mavs, but the way we lost makes me nervous. If this Rox team plans to go deep into the post-season, it'd better do something right now. Yao may be hitting the rookie wall. Or maybe teams around the league have figured out how to play Yao. I don't know what the problem is but someone on Rudy's staff should. Tonight's game was just too ugly for this Rox fan.
If the team continues this kind of BS, we may not make the post-season. Steve Franchise was never a great PG to begin with, but when he has a rabble of a team surrounding him, it makes him that much worse. Yao's hit the wall big time. EG needs time (and I'm not convinced he's ever gonna be great, but I hope I'm wrong, because the team's stuck with him, not wanting to give up or admit trading for him might not have been the greatest idea). Mo's not back yet. Rice is cooked. Cuttino and T-Mo are sporadic. Above all, our team is so young. But I would at least like to see some progress. Expending two weeks' energy for the Lakers and then laying down doesn't cut it.
