Time for Rafer to go?(The Rafer Sucks Thread!)

[tha_rock220]

Rafer needs to take a good look in the mirror, and realize that under no circumstance should he be taking all these shots especially down the stretch. choke artist

I agree.

Brooks wasn't doing anything great out there tonight either at the end of the game.

What are you talking about. He dribbled into the corner when the Rockets were down by 5, got himself trapped, and threw the ball to Yao who shot a two. That kid never makes mistakes.

Great veteran leadership tonight, Skip. Way to step up and knock down those clutch free throws after barely missing that silky smooth automatic floater of yours.

Okay, this Rafer thing is getting pretty simple now. The more he shoots, the worse we are. It's as simple as that.

What would have Houston do. You've bitched and moaned for three pages about how much Rafer sucks, but you haven't offered any sort of solution. Most of us realize that Alston is currently a necessary evil, and he's going to be hard to trade anyway. So he's not going anywhere.

[T-Wack]

Bench him. That's the solution. He can stay on the roster, but he has no business starting.

Wasn't it Skip that got the ball to Battier in the corner for the three ?

Didn't Skip draw the defender away from Landry with dribble penetration, got the ball to the open guy, then Landry passes the rock back to Skip where Skip had but 20 seconds to come up with a shot and no time outs?

Didn't he get fouled on the way to the basket?

He didn't make the free throws. So what. He made 3 winning plays down the last stretch where nobody else stepped up. He doesn't deserve the blame.

Losing a one possession game to the team with the best record in the league when the top 2nd and 3rd scorer are injured is nothing to scoff at. I don't understand what's the deal with the hate.

[moofs]

Cause it's easy and a lot of people here don't like to think and do like to complain? See my sig for reference.

[sook]

Wth are you guys talking abuot? Brooks had it right, and that was probably the plan, Yao needs to kick that **** out, brooks was open.'

Also, if many of you didn't notice, ever rafer miss resulted in a lakers basket a t the other side

[Baller 24]

Alright, good game executing, but I don't want him taking ANY shots, wide open or not, going in or not, NO SHOTS PLZ. I've supported this guy enough, we play like the best team in the league when his shots falling, and god knows how many shots he gets per game, the fact is----he shouldn't be attempting close to almost 11+ shots per game.

[Iggyemu]

You know when I see Rafer spotted up for wide open jumpers. I ask myself. Would Derek Fisher make that shot. I think thats my problem with Rafer. I judge him on the hall fame standards of Derek Fisher.

You shouldn't. You're being unfair to Alston.

Its like comparing Tmac to Kobe. YOu dont do that anymore now do you?
