Post-Game Analysis: Rockets 96, Knicks 76

you can own the earth and still
all you'll own is earth
until you can sing with all the colors of the wind

great win

 

What's with all this TMac talk? He didn't even play tonite.

Good to see a quite needed blow out.

 

Whatever you're on, I want some. It must be good.

 

Thank God we won.

Now we can lose to Lakers.

 

Aint trying to hate on Tmac, but the ball moves better without him. Everyone actually moves too.

 

Rockets really smell the blood at third Q.. bring on Lakers and smash them hard!

 

I like this!

 

The irony is in July Wafer couldn't get playing time on the Knicks Summer League squad because he couldn't make a shot. Now he becomes a decent 2 guard with good range and athleticism for the Rox and helps beat the Knicks. The kid's game has grown in a matter of months.

 

Man, Wafer is seriously becoming my favorite Rocket. Wafer, Scola, Landry. Those guys rock.

 

Love the dude's hair too.

 

Did you see his reaction after Landry block?

After missing about 40 shot in a row, Rafer made a 3 pointer. He immediately regained his confidence, and began scoring like crazy. Unbelievable. My son asked,"What do you call that?" I said, "Stupidity."

 

im okay if Tmac sits out...i really dont know what kind of Tmac we'll see....the team seems to flow better when he's out....

 

I don't blame all of that just on McGrady. I think when he has the ball in his hands the team just waits for him to do something with it.If the team where setting picks for him, or for other players of the ball and McGrady was ignoring them, then he should get 100% of the blame.

 

The best part about this win was that Yao got to play limited minutes in a game where we didn't have Artest or McGrady. Good job by the guys stepping up and letting the big man rest!

I'm hoping that we won't be overplaying Battier or Yao while McGrady and Artest are down. I know that we can't take any game for granted, but if our guys can do what they need to do against scrub teams like the Knicks, then the more rest the starters can get the better.

 

I dont know cause Wafer is BALLIN rite now , I'm starting to say rest T-mac for a while, Cause Von Wafer is doin his thang rite now, Ballliiinnnnnn like the song song say
