You just remind me of someone else who shared your views...</div> Ahaha I think he is, not to piss you off. But like guys such as LeBron and Kobe play point-forward.
Maybe. He runs the offense sometimes and he also plays forward. So I consider him a point-forward at times.
Somebody tried to prove Skip's ability with a highlight reel..... Discussion over for me......thats ridiculous.......Side show Stro looks like he actually earns his contract looking at a highligh reel watch the games......watch the good teams.....In a 7 game series, Rockets will have no chance with this squad
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (vcTmac24 @ Jan 2 2008, 12:37 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>check the highlights from the last game vs the warriors too.</div> You see that is <u>exactly</u> the problem. You are arguing that highlights define who he is as a player. Anyone can produce good highlights. What I am looking for is <u>consistent</u> game play. I want his consistently creating shots for others, getting to the paint, etc. Not just on occasion. Look at the best PGs in the game today: Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Chauncey Billups, etc. They are consistently getting to the rim, creating shots for their teammates, and making their teammates consistently better. The key word is consistently. Sure they are on highlights, but they are on highlights consistently for their great plays. You criticize people for being Rafer haters but I think you are just a Rafer lover.
Against the Warriors the biggest problem was getting Yao the ball in the post in the 3rd and 4th. And BD killing us. Yao was 4-8 fg...Skip had 22 but 2-9 from 3pt. 5 ast in 44min with the ball in his hands I don't need to watch highlights of that game....I watched the game
alston may not be consistent all the time with his scoring but he is usually consistent with his playmaking

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (vcTmac24 @ Jan 1 2008, 07:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>in my opinion if this team can hit the open shots and Alston running the offense i think they can be the top. Alston is not just here for his ability to run the offense he is also here for defense. HE is the best defensive PG we have. People say he sucks because he's getting destroyed by PG's most of the time those are superstar PG's like Nash or Deron Williams. Alston is very underrated in my opinion.</div> Wait, is that for real? Can some other Rockets fans back this up for me? Because if that's true...that's pretty sad.
Nothing is consistant with skip. AGainst Boston, 18pt,2ast 1-5 3pt, 44min.........PLaymaking ability? Baahahaha ha might have to add Rondo to the list of pG outplaying him 13 pt 9 ast, zero 3pt attempts I am awaiting Skip having his one good game out of the week so yall Skip LOVERS will have something to contribute to the conversation other than old highlights and words that don't match the play SKip is the closest to a starting PG the Rockets have, I guess M.James didn't fit Ricky's style, but at the beginning of the season I thought M.James would be starting and SKip out of houston purely because of the same problems. M.James/AB/Francis was my call in camp. Ricky=JVG what really has changed...well Bonzi is playing. OH yeah, I hate seeing Yao take 15-18 ft jump shots, terrible Offense. Yao looks like he has another 2-3 years to be a dominant game finisher in the NBA. That would be very comparable to other bigs in the league.
a shooting PG is what adelman actually needs. Right now Adelman and the rockets aren't even running the princeton offense this is pretty much the same version as last year except Alston is the facilitator this time while t-mac is moving without the ball. Alston tried to set up his teammates a lot throughout the game but the rockets just couldn't make anything. Alston setted them up for a 3, a mid-range jumper and sometimes even a lay-up.
