Shaq is in his prime, Kobe is just coming into his. If we can get some better role players on the team, we will have a dynasty. We barely squeaked by last night, I thought it was over when Horry threw away the ball late in the game.
Harper has had some really awesome moments in the playoffs, but didn't score much last night, and he's getting on in years. Rice scored 11 points in 39 minutes, making only 8 shot attempts. How the hell does that guy contribute to the team? He doesn't play good defense, got only one rebound, and then only attempts 8 shots despite being in the game for nearly the entire time? Horry played 2 minutes less than Rice, attempted 10 shots, scored 17 points, and had 6 rebounds.
Talk about hot and cold. In four games, Rice had 3, 21, 7, and 11 points. Horry had 6, 7, 10 and 17, but also had a bunch of rebounds and blocks. Rice is not contributing consistently, and I will be glad to see him go next year. Horry is also spotty, we could use a really good forward to round out the team. Hello, Rasheed? |
