lets start with the good.......jvg has this team playing hard on the defensive end (dsnt he always though).......although a bit gimpy t-mac looks like he is at least partly past his MAJOR back problems......yao has developed into the beast we all thought he would, and as an added bonus is starting to get a bit meaner ...... luther has continued to develope in a positive way......j-ho and deke have found the fountian of youth......and we have a couple youngsters that could help us in the future...... now the bad.......jvg's offence sux once again.........both yao and t-mac have missed significant amounts of time again......bonzi has been a wash to this point (though i feel he is gonna start helping any time now, we might get him cheap again next year too)........ the ugly.....i can say this in one word RAFER! he is truly bad........he is no longer passing the ball well like he used to........makes bonehead plays (fouling on 3's).....and consistantly shoots below 40% in fact he often shoots below 30%......yet still he jacks up the 2nd most shots to mac, you would think he would go back to passing.......if he would do this i wouldnt mind him nearly as much......but when you have two players shooting better than 50% (j-ho and shane) in the denver game yet you still try to take over a game after missing MANY shots in a row YOU NEED TO BE BENCHED!....... so as you can see there is much more good with this team than bad, but a few things need to change. hopefully rafer wont be jvg's guy much longer, and if jvg sticks with him he needs to be fired.....after watching the nugget game rafer needs to take a back seat on this team ie shoots less or pay less, either will work for me. though i do feel if he shoots less (5-7 shots a game) and we get yao and t-mac back we are a force to be reconed with!!!
