I'm assuming he is comparing the 2004 Boki, who did nothing for the team when given a chance. Boki no doubt has contributed more since going to...
Hayes is a great bench player, but realistically on a contender he is playing Paul Milsap minutes, not Carlos Boozer minutes. His lack of any mid...
There is no way we are trading Francis, and James is just about as unlikely. Honestly I would prefer to keep all 3 until the season starts if...
I tend to agree that on a team with so many more scoring options, Rafer is a much better fit than he was last year when he was forced to play 10...
Francis defensively tends to get slightly more blocks and steals than Alston because of his sports center mentality which causes him to gamble...
Our shooting will be much better with Francis replacing Rafer. In reality Rafer has a better career 3pt % than Francis. Francis is...
This is true, but if Scola is half of what most of us expect from him we will not need a PG to create his own shot nearly as much this year. On...
The moves as of this very second have all been good. Low financial risk and/or short term contracts aquired without giving up anything of...
Even though we have not been among the league's elite, we have certainly been a better team with TMac. Unfortunately both TMac and Francis had...
If Francis is coming off the bench replacing JL III or VSpan (in addition to a 10-15 minute play time reduction for Rafer) then I agree it is low...
It's unquestionable that Francis is better at creating his own shot and finishing off penetrating in comparison to Rafer. That being said Francis...
Steve is actually very good at penetrating and kicking the ball out, and in passing in the half court out of his penetrations. That being said he...
yao becoming the 2nd coming of dream is alot more important to this year's team becoming the best rockets team ever than Adelman becoming the next...
Rafer actually did a decent job on williams. Most of the times he was "abused" was on pick and roles when Yao or Hayes were unable to switch out...
I agree 100%. We certainly can use Francis and James, but they should be in addition to Rafer, not instead of him.
Really? What stats exactly are you looking at? Because stat wise he was better than both Francis and James last year, and his team actually made...
Alston was 15th in the league in assists, so I guess it depends on who you are comparing him to. I'm certainly not saying Alston is an all star...
Turn overs alone? Of course not. Turn overs to assists yes. Comparing Nash, Francis, James and Alston last season it looked like this: Nash:...
I guess you didn't pay attention to the way we looked when Rafer was on the bench much? The lack of a quality back up was much more of a problem...
