    Brent Price
    Matt Maloney
    Moochie Norris
    Rafer Altson
    Jeremy Lin

    We've had some crappy collection of point guards.

    The Rockets gave 6-year contracts to Maloney, Norris, and Brent Price. Lol

    I once saw Matt Maloney years and years ago at Memorial City Mall. I ran into a memorabilia store, bought a Maloney picture, tracked him down and had him sign it.

    That day I lost my man card.

    Matt Maloney took my man card.

    Lin I just cant see taking my man card away.

    Lin has been pretty rough offensively but he had some big defensive plays last night.

    come on tinman, Lin brings more to the table than Maloney. I agree he is not playing his best ball but he does more than just dribble the ball to half court and shoot 3s.

    The reason you don't add Sura is because he's legit. He was under-payed and over-performed. He came to play every night until his legs gave out. Eminem wrote a song about him called 'Collapse'. True story. He was a legend. The guys on the list are questionable and over-payed.

    Post game, you say? And you're giving one of Lin's strengths away!

    Well, until Jeremy costs us a playoff run by cutting his hair after his best game ever, I will have to give the nod to Lin.

    That's as ridiculous as completely changing your uniforms after winning a title.

    If it makes you feel better, I have an autographed basketball signed by Matt Maloney, Rodrick Rhodes, and Matt Bullard.

    I'd like the Rockets to consider bringing back Rod Strickland/Mark Jackson.
