Well I kinda agree with that.People say heis just playing within the offensewhich is actually created to make the life easier for him and Yao. There is no reason for him to take 7 shots,it is not enough. We don't know if he will sit out or not, but if not, he needs to get more touches on the post, we need to give him the ball more often so that, he can play his normal game.If he does that I belive his knee will heal quicker.
The Rockets are filled with players who love to shoot. Rafer Alston chucks so much shots its hilarious, Aaron Brooks right off the bench refuses to pass and loves to shoot. When Scola is in the paint double teamed, does he pass? no he goes up for an ugly layup with the referees bailing him out with a foul. They seriously need to give Tmac more ******* shots because he is averaging like 12 attempts a game which is bull****.
that's fine, and i don't think tracy minds that b/c he knows he can't do it all right now. let other teams think he's done, when he gets healthier, he'll dominate with ease. and these people bring up money??? how do you know what deals you get? the guy signed the contract after the 04-05 season. he was a top 5 player then and deserved that contract. are we signing year-by-year contract now or what? if so, should shane return his money b/c he's injured? should yao return his money b/c he has missed more games and still got paid? geez, when people bring up this argument, it's like they don't think.
that's not the right thinking. rafer played well. and scola should get more shots. at this point of his career, tracy could care less if he scores 30 pr 10 points. right now, he's playing within himself and just really trying to run up and down regaining strength in that knee. he's moving better, and you could see that in his defense last night. his guy didn't get by him much (and he guarded marion for stretches). i think tracy could easily taken a lot of shots last night if he wanted to considering how how he has been the past 2 games. it's just that's not his mentality right now. he just wants to get healthy, and at the same time, gets his team victories. that's why we brought ron here. he stepped it up the last 2 games. the playoffs is where we need tracy. tracy remains the only player who can really elevate his game in the playoffs.
They need to design plays for every rockets player encountering a double team scenario. I dislike the fact that Ming is the only player to do so when it should be applied to all.
Yeah! my bad that I almost forgot about Battier. If I m allowed to ask the next question, I would like to know how we are going to reduce Yao's mins to 33?
