    Great game. I'm very happy. Battier, Skip, Tracy, Juwan and Bonzi were great. Big win for us. I hope Wade is ok. It looked bad. He was crying. I like him, he had good game too. But Rockets are the best :]

    We really need a backup PG. Luther is not a PG and JVG has to stop playing him at the point. He is terrible at that position.

    Great game although it is apparent we need Yao badly for some size in the middle and the Rockets need to finish games when they have a double digit lead heading into the 4th.

    over all good game. How bout that pass to the fourth row from Luther!!! knowing he isnt the strongest ball handler they could have helped him when he was bringing the ball up...everyone ran up court on one play and left him with with two heat players

    JVG needs to play V-span or even Lucas. Head passing the ball is like watching a turnover in slow motion. I can't believe big Jake gets no play with Deke being 55 yrs old. CD makes trades and JVG refuses to play them.

    This is the Bonzi wells I've been waiting to see. Wouldn't have minded if Snyder could have taken a few of Tracy's minutes (to give him a little more rest and guard Wade), but the Heat were making a run so it's understandable. Good overall game. This has the potential to be the start of a nice win streak.

    The problem is that JL3 and VSpan are even worse than Head as backup PG's.
    I agree with you we need an upgrade at the point.

    We need another ball handler. Tracy looked completed exhausted at the end of the game, and it looked like he had a slight groin injury he played through.
    If Luther is pressured, or dribbles into traffic, chances are it's a turn over, or a hail-mary pass into the bleachers. :(
    Tracy looks like the only guy we have that can drive the ball and do something with it.

    Glad to get the win. Though a step slower, Shaq is still a beast. Even without Wade, these guys put a lot of pressure on us at the end, and we looked a bit intimidated.

    What a dilemma for JVG. He needs Head in the game for his shooting, needs Alston's ballhandling, but didn't want both in at the same time in the end. Head's really gonna have to work on passing and protecting the ball.

    We need to make a move for a backup pg. That much is clear. Brevin Knight, Earl Watson, Chucky Atkins, Carlos Arroyo, Mike James, Somebody. We'll get exploited big-time if Head plays backup PG in the playoffs.

    Well, since like JVG refuses to play Snyder and Wells at the same time, I say we trade Snyder and either JLIII or Vspan for a good ball handling guard.
