    Don't blame Barkley at all for calling Houston terrible. It's all about the record. I mean, really, if you look at our record, it's not great. But when we get back to over .500 and we start moving up in the standings, we'll get the praise we deserve.

    At this point, who really cares what anybody says? I think it's better that everyone thinks we're bad. All the more reason to start whipping up on teams.

    barkley can say we are playing terrible, but to say houston is a terrible team is wrong.

    Alston is doing great at pushing the ball up the court and setting up the offense, if he can continue to play like this, then he's the PG we have been wanting all along; he rarely turns it over and is a sharp passer, quick, and has been really hustling on defense.

    I hope this will be a sign of things to come from him, he's doing excellent in the last two games now...

    The Cleveland coach just said that he won't allow McGrady to beat them in 2nd half, that he will force the ball out of his hands; we will see how things transpire.

    Agreed- Barkley is wrong on so many things, though, so I figure his calling us terrible is a blessing in disguise.

    Or he's just an idiot.

    This Rafer on display is the one I watched in Miami and Toronto. He's playing sharp, actually looking for his shot at times and making them.

    I feel bad for Wesley...but I feel worse for us, he's just useless pretty much right now beyond taking the occasional jumper. Just too slow out there and too little for seemingly everyone. However, I can't complain because the man just plays hard, but he should really give it up or consider seeing RyBo minutes.
