    There is a direct correlation between the amount of dribbles and the scoring. The more dribbling we have, the less scoring we have. It's just that simple.

    we kind of have to dribble. we aren't going to beat the jazz by just passing since we aren't great at moving without the ball.

    Too selfish too.

    So much 1 on 3-4-5, 2 on 3-4-5.

    It's unbelievable how Artest and Rafer just drove in anytime without looking at how many defenders were infront of them.

    Making Layups and not turning over the ball are bigger issues.

    i dont mind the dribbling but artest dribbles with no purpose. he doesnt set up anyone. he draws attentions but either forces up a bad shot or has to look for a dangerous pass which leads to a turnover. either directly attack the basket or set someone up!!

    I think you mean Wafer....But yeah, I definitely agree. It just wasn't working and they were leaving plenty of open Rockets surrounding the perimeter.

    I think Ron gets carried away too much in getting his own numbers. I don't know why he does this, but I think Adelman has to be the one to tell him to stop. If he does this in the playoffs, it may cost us some games.

    Shot selection was horrid tonight. 34% shooting won't win you any games our defense kept us in it, we're REALLY lucky we didn't get blown out by 30.

    AB=too much dibbling,bad passes
    Wafer= a young man wants to prove himself and score ,score,and score.
    Ron= A strong man wants to be Tracy girl
    Lowry= too much talent of pass , with too much turnovers.

    These are our guards.

    Yao sucks today,too. Soft again.

    I'll take Tracy's jumpshots over over-dribbling every day of the week, regardless of the outcome. The only person I can stand watch dribble the shotclock away is Nash b/c he will eventually find someone.

    To be fair, there really is only two guilty parties of the over-dribbling. Brooks is the lesser of the two evils. He's trying, and you can tell. He's looking both for his shot and the pass/play. We are, as many of you know, just going to have to watch him learn on the job.

    I won't even talk about the other guilty party. I like to be fair, and give both pros and cons. I can't do that for Ron today, so I'll just leave that one alone.
