tmac really needs to come back because this team looks terrible.
juwan howard can't make layups, rebound, or defend. so far this season he's just been garbage.
ryan bowen is not a basketball player. i don't care how much he hustles, he needs to stay away from the court. he finally hit a couple shots but he was open all night without doing much. him just being in the game hurts yao because that means yao is going to be doubled with bowen's man and bowen will miss just about any shot he gets. and for all his hustle, he still isn't good defensively or on the boards. keep him on the bench or even better out of the league.
wesley and barry were both way too hesitant with their shooting. they are going to get open looks with yao in the game and they need to start just throwing them up instead of playing around with the ball. an open 3 on a kickout is a good shot.
anderson definitely isn't hesitating with his shot. he'll throw up anything. the rockets need someone to shoot with tmac out and the team struggling to get yao the ball, but he should at least show some sort of decent shot selection.
head has been great, but even he's trying to do way too much. luther head is not going to be able to carry an nba offense. he needs to focus on taking his shots in the flow of the game and getting yao the ball instead of jacking up contested shots. he's been great on the boards though and hasn't been nearly as bad as anderson with his shot selection.
why is moochie norris playing? he shouldn't be in the nba anymore.
swift has been solid, but nothing special. at least he gives some athletism that all of the rest of the team lacks.
yao hasn't really played great but i think that should be on the guards and van gundy. the guards have to get yao the ball when he has position. they pass up so many chances to get him the ball and when he gets touches it makes things easier on everyone. and van gundy is killing yao by playing bowen. the suns didn't even pretend to guard bowen and just straight up double yao with one guy fronting and the other guy covering the back. there's just nothing yao can do when the other team has a double on him all game and his teammate can't hit a shot.
the rockets really need to do something different because with the way they are playing, they are going to dig themselves in a huge hole before tmac, sura, and alston can come back.
