Both Steve and Yao are learning the "inside-out" system. Steve are looking to pass more and Yao's assists numbers also increase considerably. They are on the right track to form a lethal DUO that will benefit Rockets in the long run. Their TO numbers may look big right now which sometimes costs us a game. But it will drop with increased chemistry. Currently we may lose some games when adapting to the new system. But there are 82 games and hopefully several games won't jeopardise our playoff chance. As long as we can develop a more efficient play, it wouldn't mind we end up with the 4th seed or 8th seed. I think Rudy know when we need to give up some games. As to Cat, he made some unwise shots and seemed to be the slowest to adapt to the new system. Rudy may ask him to do more homework with Steve and Yao and play a better defense. What the Rockets needs most is to bring a power forward that can bang and do a better defense. We can play Cato as PF right now and wait for Eddie to bulk up, or get someone else to fill this position. Hopefully the Rockets can develop a truly efficient "inside -out" system this season. But we'd better not get rid of the small ball offensive system. It has proved to be sucessful for some teams, like Jazz. And we will choose a offensive system that matchs our opponenet.
