Yao will be back, better yet, we found our 3rd option - Battier!

good god. So we have got Bonzi stepping up, Shane the 3rd option, and Tmac playing Olando ball. Then no worries.

How about this. Is shane a consistent scorer? When will Bonzi be in shape. and can Tmac hold up his back? Stil we are worse than the Nets if these 3 are compared to Carter, Kidd, and Richardson.

 

um


sorry, but not working for me.. i'm gonna go cry now

 

I've made numerous posts on Battier getting more involved, and I couldn't be happier that he and JVG have finally read my posts. No one expects him to be a superstar. But I thought he had way more to offer than just 'hustle' plays. Those are great, I'm not complaining, but he's got a decent offensive game and can create his own shot. I think he could've averaged 12-14 points a game, and probably would've put us over the top on some of our close losses.

Now more than ever everyone needs to step up, and I think Battier and Bonzi have the most left to show more of.

 

;thinking about our third option when we don't even have a number 1 and 2

 

Blessing in disguise. We will have a fresh Yao Ming to tear it up in the playoff. Oh, by the way, Tmac please come back fast. We need you now. We really do.

 

Mar? well, I believe it's not gonna take that long. maybe the all-star weekend

 

looks like van gundy's gonna lose what's left of his hair. it would be a miracle if he stays with the rox next season.

 

So now he steps up. So that's what it took huh, options number 1 and 2 going down and who's supposedly option number 3 bieng virtually nonexistent in 20 minutes of action. Why couldn't he have done this sooner? When Tmac went down especially. 28 points and 6 rebounds on over 50% shooting from across the floor. Don't kid me Shane, you can score in this league and you know it. If he would've done played like this on offense earlier, we probably would've had a much better record even with Tmac out.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm just frustrated that it's deja vu all over again, and only now does Battier start doing what we, or at least, I have always thought he can, but never did.

 

I agree with you on that. I was confident he could be a decent third scorer and wished he had been more assertive with his offense both when we have tracy and yao and when we only had yao. My guess is coming in, he thought he was to play a more deffensive role and sacrificed too much of his offense for the "greater good".

 

When the team as a collective believes in you and tries to get you the ball, you become a better offensive player. I felt the Rockets were shying away from Shane in the 2nd half for the sake of variety. Maybe, it's time for Shane to demand the ball.

 

1st - Luther Head
2nd - Bonzi
3rd = Battier

I'm depressed
