    McGrady can run?

    McGrady can finish strongly at the rim?

    Even last season, that was a rare sight.

    You could have hired Mike D'Antoni to be the coach and we still wouldn't have an uptempo offense. We don't have the personnel to do it consistently and effectively.

    well and ron are not really built to run. however, yao can certainly start the fast break on the defensive end with a defensive rebound and an outlet pass.

    ron can't really run as a 2 or 3, but slide him to the 4 and he can outrun most players there.

    tmac can't run and rafer doesn't want to run. when your starting guards wont run, then how can the team speed up the game?

    its hard to play with energy when half the team is hurt. its hard to create some sort of offensive chemistry when players decide they only have to play every other game.

    if they dont turn things around before the deadline, i want to see a major move. starting with tmac and hopefully rafer too.

    I dunno why it seems our players hesitate to shoot the ball. That was a point Clyde Drexler was making. When all our guys including someone like Aaron Brooks (who is probably the most confident player on our team) hesitates to shoot, our offense is definitely gonna struggle. Now I would love to see Von Wafer see more time. He's been sitting on the bench for such a long time, you know he's itching to get out there and start shooting the ball.

    I'm starting to like the idea of starting Tracy at point. Battier and Artest can play at the wings and Rafer can sit his carcass at the end of the bench.
