The NBA has plenty of hussel players. Lately I've been watching the Rockets very closesly, and no one is husseling for them. There have been atleast 7 rebounds in the last 3 games that were taken from them because they didn't want to run and try to beat their opponent to the ball for a defensive rebound. They should start a new stat for husseling. The Rockets players would be ranked 29th in it if they did. This team needs more heart, if they have much in them they sure aren't proving it on the hardwood.
Alot of the rebounds Stevie and Posey get come right to them involving no effort at all. Stevie has alot of heart in him. He is the reason the Rockets have won all the games they have this season. One thing I forgot to bring up... why does EG shoot all those 3's? I know good and well Rudy T. has mentioned it to him. He takes about 3 or 4 three's a game that are so off it's not even funny. He'll make about 1/4 three's. For someone that shoots line-drives like he does, he doesn't need to shoot any. The only reason he has made 31 three pointers this season is because he has shot so many. The Rockets lose games because of bad offensive exacution. They are 27th in the leage if I am not mistaken in assists. I know Cuttino is all about a one-on-one player and Stevie is also, they should be better then that.
They don't play with heart. They need a veteran like Glen Rice to get them going. We need a veteran. Youth just don't get into it. We have a lot of talent that can hustle. Juaquin Hawkins, James Posey, and SF and the Cat are some. They just need some help from the big men.
Glen Rice? He's the one barely producing but still demanding the ball, then when he doesn't get it, he doesn't handle it behind closed doors, but goes to the press. I wish the Rockets could trade Glen Rice ASAP. THe guy is a cancer. Count how many times a game STeve Francis is diving out of bounds for loose balls, making and giving it his all. He may make a bad pass from time to time, or something, but the guy plays with heart night in and night out.
All the Rockets hustle...including Cato. But they can't do anything unless they have a better system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OKAY. We really need a veteran to lead us. We are too young and inexperienced. If not Glen Rice, we need to trade him for a leader ASAP. Yao is sort of a cancer right now...sorry to say. But he's a block that's not doing anything.
Its ridiculous to say Francis doesnt play with heart. The guy works his ass off on the court. Posey's defense is pure hard work.
