We don't make the playoffs if we don't get a PF NOW!

    The Rocks need a PF or C to make the other team's big men have to work on defense... Sometimes the best defense, is offense... Webber didn't have to play D at all tonight... And his 37 points and 18 boards show it...

    If we had a respectable PF, maybe Webber gets in foul trouble and can play only 2/3rd of the game? Or maybe Webber gets tired quicker by having to play D? And his stats look more liike 20 points and 10 boards?

    Anyway, my point is that we need to be willing to part with ANYONE but Francis to acquire a good PF or C... Preferably PF, since you'd have to give up much more for a C...

    Our frontcourt is among the worst in the NBA, if not the worst...

    It is sad to say that Olajuwon is our best big man, a 38 year old who can barely log 30 minutes...

    This team won't go anywhere until it gets a big man...

    Not to panic, there is help in the draft with Griffin and Randolph more likely to bolt... Or maybe Eddie Curry? Tyson Chandler?

    Whether through the draft or trades, Free Agency, whatever, the Rockets must commit themselves to getting a solid big man...

    Out of action due to one niggling injury or another;
    Kelvin Cato
    Jason Collier
    Carlos Rogers

    With 3 of our 6 big men out of action we have to expect to get burned.....
