Well, it better be Yao. I've not seen too many games because I've been out of town, but I'll be at today's game. But, from what I've read you dendrites write, Taylors been posting up on Yao's side. So, now Yao get's more shots. If not Mobley will make sure those shots get taken!
With Mo out, Jim Jackson is probably our best 2nd option in the post. We may see him playing there more, especially when Yao is not on the floor.
Tonight, Bostjan Nachbar and Scott Padgett stepped up. Our stars..Francis and Mobley made all their open shots today so we were fine. They made tough shots as well. Cato got some points too.
Mo Taylor does not play the team game as well as Padgett. I like Padgett off the bench better than Mo.... DD
Mo Taylor's slip into the weed smoking quagmire is unfortunate more for him than the team. He should have put that away before fall practice started. We’ll know more after his suspension has been completed. Other players will get a chance to step up here, either in dominance of their playing position or minutes. As a team we seem to have enough adequate ones who REALLY want to do this. As a chemistry and evolution thing, it may turn out as a blessing. Taylor will have to deal with the perceptions that he doesn’t want to make the necessary sacrifices to make this work upon his return – a heavy load to carry. Although we didn’t sign any major name players in the off season, we may have the signed the oh so necessary ones to make this whole thing gel. I complement JVG for what appear early on as very right-on decisions. I applaud his tough-as-nails , commandeering as captain of the ship. As the mystery of what and who Eddie Griffin is unfolds, I hope he decides he can contribute to our team this season and possibly his career thereafter. Personally, given the dramatics of certain players actions off the floor, I like what I see as this year’s version of Rockets mania.
have we forgotten what is supposed to happen after 5 games? welcome back pike! and AG! ok so getting back 2 swingmen isnt a good replacement for losing 2 PF's but at least we have a bench again... mooch, AG, pike, boki, braggs last two spots: padgett, ford
