You have to consider that Sprewell has been playing so well you have to keep going to him no matter what. He's been putting up unbelieveable basketball and is our best player and all-star. He's playing the best he's ever played in his career and for a superstar like him, thats saying a lot. When you got a guy like Spree playing this way you can't afford to go to Houston, especially in the clutch.

Well Houston should get the last shot as the opponent probably thinks Spree is going to take it. I'm not worried, once the team is used to the change in play and the coach has more different plays in mind for the players all will be semi-fine.

What's less comforting is talk of Indiana trading Travis Best for Marc Jackson. We shall see what happens, Marc still has to OK any deal before it happens.

Houston would probably do fine if he was the main scorer, but since Spree's been here he has always come second to Sprewell. With Spree missing these shots the last two games, I don't understand why Chaney doesn't draw up any plays, he just seems to let Spree in isolation and try to make something happen. I'd much rather give the ball to Houston on the perimeter off a screen or pick and have him shoot an open three then have Spree trying to hit a fadeaway over two defenders. Also, Spree drives and he usually gets a double, yet he rarely passes back out on the perimeter. If you got Houston just a couple more shots, he'd prob. avg. 20 points a game. Two guys averaging 20 points would be pretty nice.
