Why is Rafer Alston on this team?

Exactly!!

 

He had 6 against Golden State about 8 or 9 games back.

 

come on! you know who is general..............
Skip just have to tasks on offence:
1. Drive the ball cross the half court, with no TOs.
2. Throw in the 3ps.

So far he is ok in playoffs...........

 

Alston was pathetic but that's expected .
The problem was he took his friends with him.

 

32% shooting is not OK. A 1.6 AST/TO Ratio is not OK. Debatably bad, but definitely subpar, even for Rafer.

 

So who do you suggest we use? VSpan someone with a worse shooting % and ast/to ratio?

 

No, although it think it would have been wise to have at least tried to develop VSpan or JLIII during the season just so we had options. I was just pointing out that some Rafer hating is justified. Like most of the team, he is underperforming even by low Rafer standards. I'm not suggesting benching him or anything drastic. VSpan and JLIII aren't going to see the floor and Head can't handle the ball. We've made our bed with Rafer and we have to sleep in it. But you can't sugarcoat it and say he's played well thus far.

But all the Rockets are underperoming so it's not like he should be alone in being criticized.

 

People need to stop blamming rafer every time we lose.

He is the only option deal with it.
We have soo many holes its not even funny.

Our best bench players choke under pressure. Never see luther or Juwan paly well against good teams.

But we still have Yao and TMAC. so cheer up.

I just think JVG is kicking himself for not playing BONZI more. he is what we truly need this series.

 

Hey, come on now, Rafer is part of the legendary Fantastic Four on this team that scored the last game against the Jazz, cut him a break!

 

When you said 32% shooting you should see the average shooting percentage, it is playoff, Yao has 8 TOs, what do you think of rafer?
He is not that kind of guy like Deron, you can not ask more.......

 

the most important question is JVG!!!!

 

i guess without him lucas will be the starting pg and that is from worse to worst

 

yea and you probably don't get home court playing guys that aren't ready to play but you so desperately want to develop. btw, that HOMECOURT is looking really good right now.
