Rafer has a worse shot selection than both Cassell and Jackson imo.

The dude jacks up more 3's than anyone.

Rafer is garbage. Bobby Jackson is a more garbage. And Brooks the inexperienced backup to garbage.

Lose. Lose. Non-factor. That is not good.

I think the Rockets won't even contend till they have a PG who can a) shoot light out b) run the offense without making mistakes or hoisting 3s (cough Rafer cough Jackson)

You're #$@$ing crazy. Rafer almost NEVER shoot when contested. He's not a great shooter but his selection is always shoot when OPEN. The opposition leaves him open all the time so he shoots. He hits a reasonable percentage from 3 point land so its ok. Jackon, who is a much better shooter than Alston, likes to attempt one handed fade away jumpshot over 4 other players. The guy constantly changes his shooting form just to get a shot off. As a result he shoots ridiculously poor. What he shot like 17 percent in the playoff?

There isn't anyone, i repeat, ANYONE in the history of the NBA who has a poorer shot selection than Bobby Jackson. Its just not possible. Simply UNpossible. Unpossible i SAY!

Jackson is a good shooter. The number doesn't reflect that but the guy can shoot. Problem is he thinks he's Ray Allen and Reggie Miller 2 in 1 so he hoist impossible shot attempts. But I would bet my life on Jackson if he's in a 3 point shooting contest against Alston.

Rafer takes stupid shots thats why he pisses me off. He needs to be more of a playmaker than shooter for our team.

He is more of a playmaker than shooter for our team. He's the best playmaker we've had since Mark jackson. Alston is obviously a very emotional player, as a result he is prone to making stupid decisions when he's challenged by other PGs. But for the most part, he handles his PG duty reasonably well. Head and jackson on the other hand are just complete garbage. One needs to go to the NBDL and the other one needs to retire.

Rafer cannot shoot and he cannot finish consistently. He over dribbles and everytime he gets in the lane (which is rare) he makes a bad decision or attempts a floater. He is slightly better garbage than Jackson.

When will TarMac fans stop using "bad team" as an excuse for his failures?

If Rafer is only slightly better than BJ then how come we are such a better squad when he had Rafer starting instead of Jackson? I'm sorry but Jackson isn't even a PG he is a chucker SG that can't shoot in the body of a PG, that is quite possibly the worst combination ever.

I'm not saying Rafer is a good PG he is an average starter, when he is playing his best ball he is an above average starter. During the 22 game win streak he was an above average starter.
