    Our point guard and shooting guard positions are locked up with solid players, lets go get a shot-blocking big next season and make a playoff run!!!

    (great work Dragic, 111111)

    Good finish to the season...Goran Dragic with the exclamation mark...

    Sad to see it end so early though :(

    Ariza got a triple-double in the last game the previous year. So does this mean Dragic's going to get traded in the off-season?

    Nice to finish the season with a W. Now on to a long off season:(. I will be glad when next season finally does start and be here with my fellow fanatics to celebrate the start of a great season for our beloved Rockets.

    Yes! The team should trade all guys like Martin, Hill, Slola and Miller played absolutely no defense.

    Goran Dragic's triple dub is a sign..

    The end of the world.

    The Rockets finished something like 15-8 without Battier and both the offense and defensive numbers improved without him, just saying. ;)

    Great way to finish the regular season. I'm really excited to see this team the next season we play. Unfortunately this off season looks like it's gonna be a year or so long.:( I'll be there when it finally starts again, provided it starts by 2012.

    That crap again.

    If you look closely, "Lowry-Martin-Battier-Scola-Hayes" lineup has a better winning percentage than "Lowry-Martin-Buddinger-Scola-Hayes".

    The real difference: No AB and very little Hill. Those two made 2nd unit losing big leads every time. PP+ Dragic made 2nd unit a lot better.

    although i never played or coached basketball but played and coached football and baseball Jr High and High School level it gets easy to spot an athlete and that's why i have been watching Goran Dragic, he caught my eye with the Slovenian league a few years ago and just followed him with a few others throughout and seen the outcome although tonight's game he played 48 min after a 53 min game it becomes clear that he is an outstanding athlete and even Alvin Gentry Said he was the best athlete on the team (PHX) "so go for it you nay sayers and bash my post" BAM!i said it right after the trade.

    The lineup with Battier was ~45%. Sure, there were other problems besides Battier but I don't think they had a higher winning % than the one without him.

    Don't understand why Phoenix traded Dragic. He should be their point of the future. What was Phoenix thinking?!

    Lowry-Martin-Battier-Scola-Hayes had a 69% win percentage. That's accounting only for the minutes when those 5 players were on the floor. They outscored opposing lineups 69% of the time. That's REALLY good.
