"The FT defense is horrible. We need a "Spike Lee" type character to step it up in the stands." Man I could not agree with you more. There are PLENTY of people in Houston who can afford those seats but none of them seem to be there to watch the games. I've never seen so many people sitting on their hands. Golf galleries make more noise than these people. ------------------ The truth is out there.
I think a lot of shots are not getting contested by the rockets. I have been displeased by Cato lately in this regard. Its like he's become scared of foul trouble. The defense isn't generating any offense. No steals. No blocks. No traps. No pressure. I think the rockets should consider a full court press sparingly to get the opposing teams out of a groove. The rockets have one of the quickest teams in the league. Cato, Rogers, Anderson, Mobley, and Francis look like a good pressure team on paper.Thomas would also do well with his tenacity overcoming his athletism. The FT defense is horrible. We need a "Spike Lee" type character to step it up in the stands. The rockets always double down low with a guard (I could be wrong here). I think the rocks should try and use the SF more often to make the pass out more dificult. To improve defensive intensity, the rockets should draft Martin (if lucky), Woods, Mihm, Morris, or Barkley. I know Barkley's a PG, but I see no problem playing either him or Francis at the 2 ala Iverson. Morris and Martin are the most desirable, but the hardest to get. Morris might stay in.
I agree Joe Joe. I am most displeased with the play of Kelvin Cato this season. The Rockets got a little too sign happy and inked him to a huge contract before he proved anything in the real season. Remember how this guy had 13 blocks in one damn game. Come on, thats no fluke. Get this guy a slump buster or something. I think that Chris Mihm is overrated and I would be very upset if the Rockets waste their precious lottery pick on him. I like all of your other choices though. ------------------ KISS The Floor Beneath ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! [This message has been edited by jerinrulz (edited March 15, 2000).]
