Head's role on the team is to pose a potential offensive threat, but he's been shooting terribly and has been making terrible decisions with the ball. He can't beat anyone off the dribble, either. He's been atrocious. Making matters worse is the fact that he isn't strong enough to guard Harpring and is having as awful a defensive as offensive series. Snyder should get Head's playing time for this series because he can defend the more physical Utah players like Harpring and Williams. When Giricek is in, then maybe Head can come in to see if he can get something going offensively. Otherwise, Snyder's minutes should come up and Head's down. So freaking frustrated.
yeah, I have no idea why he only get like 2 min. He should get atleast 5 min every game especially when everyone sin't cotributing much.
The only issue I have with JVG's coaching tonight is giving luther 24 minutes. That's just ridiculous.
Gee, maybe the coach didn't do a very good job of utilizing his bench tonight? Now where have I heard that before?
I mentioned this in another thread. Kirk might at least give the Rox a player who isn't so much a spot up shooter like 95% of the Rockets team. Unlike JHo, Luther, Rafer, Shane, and TMAC, Kirk thrives on slashing to the basket and I think the way this series is going, the Rockets need someone to do this. The Rox offense is too predictable. Pound it into Yao or have a spot up shooter or TMAC jack it from long range in the face of a good defense. No one seems to be able to create off the dribble or stop and pop a 15' foot jumper off a screen, pick, or off the dribble.
Are you guys kidding me? Putting Snyder would be worse since he cant shoot from the outside. Spacing would be compromised since they'll underplay him. Remember sloan knows his game pretty well. John lucas should be given more playing time than Snyder because Lucas can create his own shot by dribbling and pulling up a midrange..something Luther head couldn't do. Jazz is really defending the 3 line pretty good and Lucas can make them pay with his midrange game.
Luther is 2-16 in this series. Can Snyder be any worse than that? At least he can't guard Harpring a bit better.
Kirk can rebound and defend better than Luther, and actually drive the ball a bit. I was thinking that he should be used some in the 4th, since Luther didn't show up, again.
I agreed when Head is going to show up for the playoff. At least Snyder can penetrate to the basket if you could not make shot outside. I am kind of disappointed of Juwan also why his shot not falling. This is playoff time I thought everybody should step up their game. Utah did not play a super game tonight but they still win because they did not have a lot of turn over and their bench scored 33 points to help their starter. I know we did not have a good bench like everybody else but zero points tonight is unexceptable.
However jazz wouldn't let head shoot from outside.They let T-mac and Yao play one on one and shut down the other Rockets,Yao and T-mac can score but they will be tired out.When jazz defend like this ,we need snyder,or bozi if possibly.
Of course he is, because he gives you SOMETHING BESIDES JUST SHOOTING!!! Luther is useless if his shot isn't falling. In fact, he's a liability.
How about V-span? He can penetrate too. And he is a hustle guy. We just lose energy right now. It's time to try something new.
I think even half-wits can see Head has been sucking it up. ...except for people suggesting the solution to our problems is to play VSpan.
The only thing I worry about Vspan is that he has limted experience playing with our starters, which may lead to uneccessary turnovers. The good thing for Vspan is that he can drive, meanwhile Jazz doesn't have many quick guards and they always need more than one to guard Tmac.
Don't people get it? I'll spell it out for you: Vassilis Spanoulis = more turnovers He LACKS the experience needed right now. He is NOT the solution. I'll go out there and hustle; it won't do a LICK OF GOOD.
