    Can anyone tell me why were going to iso so much? I know that steve and cat r the only ones that can do much of anything rite now but we need to get the rest of the team involved in the offense. We can only win so many games that way, we saw that last year. Hopefully w/ the return of MO, KT, and Rice we can start runnin the motion offense again. Iso should be one of our weapons not our only weapon.

    Sorry but I watched the whole game last night and saw very little ISO type offense like we had last year. There was a lot of movement with out the ball and plenty of passing. Unfortunately people outside of Steve and Cat were having a hard time making shots.

    Norris was 0 for 6
    Griffin was 3 for 12
    Yao Ming was 1 for 5

    just to name a few. Steve and Cat both hit 50% of their shots. Cato was 3 for 4 but that is it. The shots were distributed very well tonight. Steve took no more shots than Eddie and Cat only took 16 shots.

    We havn't seen the motion offense because it wouldn't fit our players' skills. As soon as we get Mo and Kt and Glen back though, we will begin to use it more. Right now though, the only players on the court for us that can score, are best used in isos.

    We ran the motion offense a little bit, but there were still too many isos for Cat.

    I wonder if the Rocks are watching too much football -- they think only one forward pass is allowed and receivers use as much "stickem" as the league allows.:D

    BTW, Rudy T has been fairly adamant about this: The 5-man offense is not what he considers a motion offense.

    I agree with Crash. Last nights game was all about REAL offense.

    The game against the Pacers was almost all Iso, which was causing stuff to break.
