    The JUST KIDDING part was in regards to my joke of putting all that stuff in your signature..

    It seems that I read about 4 other posts where you state the same things about Steve.

    This is kind of pointless.....

    Our offense should run through Yao...but i dont think he should take all the shots. Stevie should/must still take his number of shots...but through plays created by Yao...and vice versa.


    Both. Stevie is da man...and Yao is making it alll sooo much better. Dynamic Duo.

    I think that that it doesn't matter too much who takes the most shots, just so long as everyone gets involved, and the hot hand is exploited. Certainly, our offense is better when Yao gets to handle the ball, not necessarily shoot it. We need to consistently get open, good shots, from all 5 players on the court.
    Keep it balanced, with Yao and Steve getting the offense moving, and attack from all angles.
    Accomplish that, and the other teams will also be asking the question, "who's the Rockets first option?"

    I believe that Cuttino should be our first option. It should be a quick option whatever he does, but he should be the first option on the shot clock. I say this because Cuttino does tend to take a lot of shots, but being the first option will force him to make better decisions. I don't think he should get the ball at the end of the game, just be first option on the average play. If the players and coaches put pressure on him to be smarter with the ball, it might force him to. Mobley also has the ability to go for 40. He is that type of player, but a offense should not be put on his shoulders.

    Alright, now tear me apart, but I think it is something I would try if I was Rudy.

    I can guarantee you he will go for 40, but he will be like 10-60 from the field. He pads his stats but Rockets lose.

    I will vote for Mobley. No matter what others think, he has the mindset he can carry the team. Just let him shoot 40 time a game like AI does, see what is going to happen for our win/loss column.:(

    Hmm....

    Francis scored a lot...but forgot to pass.

    Mobley? He scored when he had to...WHEN NO ONE ELSE WAS SCORING. Mobley stepped up and scored.

    He also set up many players tonight......they just missed.

    Tough...Minnesota played better. :) Attacked us. Stopped Yao. That pretty much works.

    I still think the ball should go into Yao's hands every single possession. Or every other...Francis can start from the top with all his picks and stuff too. Mobley should do his iso crap too. But his main role should be to get open and make his shots. Posey should also have some plays run for him. He can shoot. Griffin.........he can just stand there and try to make his 3's. He is actually good in the post...

    But still. Yao and Francis should both be our #1 option. THIS YEAR. Next year, Yao should be taking 20 attempts......and Francis should be taking 20 attempts.
