Point guard' responsibility is to deliver the ball to either shooting guard or whoever has the best position to shoot. If Rafer has Steve Nash shooting ability, he can shoot as many as he likes, but his shooting skill sucks, same as Hayes and Battier. These 3 are burning Rockets more than they help. Games after games, their skills just don't get better? How long do we have to suffer their choke shots? Get into the program, Brooks, Scola, and Landry all have better talent in scoring department, talent doesn't equivalent to experience, experience can gain by playing, but talent doesn't.

Games after games, their skills just don’t get better? How long do we have to suffer their choke shots? Get into the program, Brooks, Scola, and Landry all have better talent in scoring department, talent doesn’t equivalent to experience, experience can gain by playing, but talent doesn’t.

But what he said at the post-game news conference seemed to me should have been said during the game when the players have just committed those errors or when they are having a practice session. He should be encouraging the players and pointing those errors out to them so that they don't repeat them. In my opinion, pointing these out at the news conference indicates that he did not want to take the responsibilities of the team's performance. I thought a coach is accountable for his team's performance on the court... no? <em>I would bet that Adelman told his players the same thing during timeouts, but is so frustrated that they continue to fail in executing, he felt compelled to share it with the media to apply a little more heat on them, not an uncommon technique to try to get the message through to the players. -- John</em> I don’t watch the coach’s post-game news conference too often.

He was one of the few guys on the court who was playing a very determined game. I thought two of his offensive rebounds was just sheer willpower to get the ball. For all the knocks against his offensive ineptitude, he comes to play every game. And looks like he has taken over from Juwan as team captain too in the huddles. Go Rockets!!!

If TMac did not come in near the end of the (4th) quarter- the game could have been lost. It seems they just lost the shooting touch for no apparent reasons.
