Except that people aren't found "innocent." They're acquitted and found not guilty. In very, very, very rare incidents, you have a dismissal and...
Not really. There are often strategic reasons to selectively charge. Very often, you just don't want to dilute the evidence of your stronger...
Yep. He was open. Know why he was open? Because the defense didn't expect him to shoot while still in motion and from that range. Because it...
Drives me freakin' crazy. I hate it when people say things like "let the players decide the game." What the hell? How do you have a chance of...
Don't agree with this part at all. It was a long 3, Francis isn't really any good from that range, and he wasn't remotely set. I know Steve...
Why don't you just concede that Steve has a terrible basketball IQ? It doesn't reflect on Steve as a person. He just has terrible court vision...
1. Fatigue. 2. Teams have been rotating the ball better on us. JVG's system denies the paint. Good rotation can often get an open 3... and...
Why did you start this thread? Was it just to share your opinion? If opinions are just irrational intuitions... then why would any of us...
I'm actually worried about our defense. Remember in the early-middle of the season when we'd hold all sorts of teams under 75? Just doesn't seem...
Here's the most obvious situation, which happened several times today: Mo has the ball up high. Generally, when Mo has the ball about 18 feet...
While I usually agree with you about the guards, this is one thing you're going to have to get used to :). I mean, remember the Hakeem era?...
I like Mo. I think he could be a valuable player on a high-level team. I don't think he's just a "good scorer" - he's an excellent scorer. I...
solid: I don't mean to sound harsh... it's just that the play was a textbook example of how to run an inside-out O and burn the double team....
Yeah, I laughed when I read solid's post. The funny thing is: that play went exactly how it should have for Houston. They: 1. Got the...
Teams beat teams that are better than them all the time. We all b**** and whine and moan when the Rockets lose to a lesser teams... but there's a...
See... here's my problem: Playing inside-out is a better basketball strategy for almost any team that's capable of playing it. Playing inside...
It's weird, though. Are you in the "skills have declined" or "defense has improved" camp?
But it's easier to drive if your man knows you can hit the 3 ;). Besides, this team is loaded with guys who can drive - both Mobley and JJ are...
daoshi: THe Lakers *don't* maximize Kobe's potential. He's just so damned good that a better fitting replacement player wouldn't actually provide...
Yes, actually. Effective 3 point rotation off of the double pretty much requires that the 1, 2, and 3 be able to hit the 3 consistently. This is...
