hmm, the other texan teams at this moment suck
aside from yao ming, that entire lineup should be scrapped.
van gundy must be laughing his ass off.

I watched the game live here in y country, boy, they couldn't even bring the ball upcourt with a grandma guarding their PG -and Terry is not all that far fetched compared to one, LOL.
Watching Francis, James, Head, the three headed monsters handled the playmaking duty is really a torture to say it the least. They got no consistent outside shooting, Bonzi's playing like a beheaded chicken, TMac's so lifeless, dang, Yao must be retired in 2-3 yrs so tired carrying this dysfunctional team.![]()
This team is built for Van Gundy. Not Rick Adleman.
the roster sucks. but a good coach adapts to the roster. van gundy was able to win with it.
Hey, how about a trade ? A coach trade it is. Houston sends Adolfman, Dallas sends Johnson, fair deal ?
Avery will stick his discipline and knows a thing or two about utilizing a dominant bigman offensively, while Adelman would love all the athleticism & perimeter shooting that Dallas posses.![]()
I thought Houston was supposed to be the 2nd best team in the division.
And yet another solid performance by Luis Scola.
that. he's their problem.
Yao leads us in Points, Rebounds, Blocks, and assists...
wait what the (<= yes i have to type that out).... did i just say assist?
yes, Yao did lead us in assist...
thats sad for Francis, James, and McGrady.
Maybe thats why they cant beat out Alston to start at point guard.
Hey, hey, it is supposed to be the awesome Texas Triangle, isn't it ?![]()
Now it's turning into a dynasty, a powerhouse, and a creampuff. We need to get the house in order, right ?![]()
why not a 3 way trade. pop to rockets. alderman to dallas and avery to spurs
aye... should we tell them they need a true point guard to take the ball out of mcgrady's hand and that the same is true for the mavericks because harris isn't a true point guard either? i hear kidd might be available.
the ? leave Pop outta this. Spurs are just doing fine with him, thank you.
I don't think there's a team in this league I rather be be a fan of any less than the Rockets. I couldn't imagine how disappointed their fan-base is. I would go check out the clutchcity forum, but I'm not sure I want to see all the blood.
I say they need a shake up. No way should the Rockets be a .500 team.
They should start:
Mike James
Bonzi
T-Mac
Hayes
Yao
I think Alston & Harris, while having weaknesses of their own as a playmaker, are real PG, just as real as Tony of ours. Alston just can't shoot, while Harris is still maturing as a starting PG of the league.
Admittedly I haven't seen them play much this year so I don't really know exactly where they are lacking. Nevertheless, my question is why these guys are so damn terible to begin with. Someone said they need a true-point guard and I think that would help, but how many teams in this league don't have true point guards? A lot of them get by without true PG's. look at Tony Parker. Guys like Mike James, Rafer Alston and Steve Francis should at least be servicable when surrounded by other talent. Especially since there are three of them you can go to in case one or two of them are having an off night.
Like what happened to Francis that made him suck so bad. He's been a selfish head in the past, which has been his problem, but it seems like in lieu of selfishness since he has no cred left he should still be able to contribute in some small but meaningful way.
Same with Bonzi Wells. I thought his problems were all JVG related. I mean what happened between two short years ago in Sacto and now, that his game would drop off this much?
Mike James had that great season in Toronto. I realize it was on a bad team, but still. He shouldn't be completely worthless as a western conference player.
I don't know what happened to their team or why guys seem to be regressing so much, but I don't think a simple trade is going to help much. It seems like the whole culture of the team's been twisted on it's ear. I think they might be ed.
Tony is not a true PG. He is an extremely quick guard, that finishes extremely well around the basket and shoots well from the outside, while getting his assists from within a framework of the entire team's offense. A true PG breaks down the opposing defense while crafting near the entire offense set for his team. A Kidd, Nash, Deron or Cp3, he is not.
The fans at clutchcity.com are out for blood. It's point the finger time at Yao, T-Mac, Francis, Head, Alston, Battier and yes Coach Adleman. Look this isn't hard to figure out. Rockets were a playoff team last year with same players.
It actually amuses me a bit.
People had given this club the Paper Championship at the start of this season. Guess sometimes plans don't go quite as planned.
See: Nick van Exel, '05-06'
is that really the case though? battier doesn't seem to work well in that system, but the rest of their role players came from similar systems and/or were acquired since adelman took over.
of course, the biggest fish out of water is Yao. he's actually played well, but his presence also prevents them from doing some of the things that RA has typically wanted to do.
if your "system" can't win with a big man that gives you 23, 12, and 2, then you have no ing business coaching an nba team.
van gundy, on the other hand, has won everywhere he's coached.
Like I said, not too hard to figure out. It's on Adleman
