    He brought the Rockets out of the offensive funk by making some improbable shots look silky smooth. Without him creating offense out of nothing, the Rockets probably lose tonight.

    Doubt it, we need that spark from Delfino off the bench.

    Delfino will be muy importante once Harden starts getting uber-teamed. The way Harden dishes the rock & his ability to drive to the hoop... I really hate to say it but I will.. He reminds me of a poor man's Lebron James. He has a different game than James (diff style of driving to the hoop, better pure shooter), but he sees the floor to a certain extent that Lebron does. Harden... Hory Sheet man... Harden.

    Definitely, people need to realize that he made some huge shots in the 4th quarter.

    I haven't seen Delfino play much except for in the Olympics. And in the Olympics he was money.

    He was lighting team USA up.

    Delfino has always been a good scorer since he joined the Raptors.

    Not surprise at all. He played well during the preseason, hitting alot of threes. Glad we have him now that Martin is gone.

    With two penetrators Delfino has a huge role to play. Gotta hand it to Morey/McHale on this one.

    No reason to "hate to say" the truth. Excellent observation. Repped.

    Delfino seriously kept that game within reach last night. Douglas, too, I'm amazed to say. Carlos D. has played big so far this year.

    Glad we got an Argentinian on the team. Carlos plays with same passion and guts as Scola. I still miss Scola but this young team is fun to watch.

    Del3no also played good D on Kobe towards the end. Overall he was a huge factor and kept us in the game with his 3-pointers

    It does suck when he shoots cold, but when he's on fire he's not afraid to take the big shot. I think one of the positive things about Delfino is that he's not afraid to take the shot when he has to. His confidence never really wavers even when he misses a couple, he keeps going at it. Of course the downside is that if never warms up and keeps shooting cold. I like how Sampson rotates him in and judges whether he can get his stroke going or not before benching him again. Last night's game Sampson kept putting him in when he saw his shot was on.

    Carlito's Way! i think he's exactly the kind of glue any team needs for those long February nights that are coming. he is street smart out the butt and has no fear. Seriously just let him play. So the shot isn't going in every time, so what? There are so many ways to win a basketball game.
