    Enough of YOF and YOH.

    How about these two? I want ot see a flame war between the Stromile-Only-Fans and Ryan-Only-Fans ;)

    It's sad but I think this is a legitimate question.

    Tonight, they were both awful. I have to hand it to Charlie Rosen, he said that by the end of the year the Rockets would wish they had signed somebody else other than Swift.

    If I see Bowen shoot one more jumpshot with more than 10 seconds left on the shot clock, I just may go ape****.

    Bowen vs. Swift and a JVG rant!

    First the one complaint I have about JVG is that he doesnt run an offense that suits our team. Right now with Yao out we need to be running the ball up the court, similar to the Suns. This "set a pick for McGrady" CRAP wont work. Every team will double/triple team him coming off the PnR so why keep doing it? Why not clear his side of the court and let him go 1-on-1? He might be one of the better 1-on-1 guys in the league, but yet we keep running the PnR and BOWEN is taking shots.

    That brings me to my next point:

    I know everyone is down on Stro right now, but what happen to all the people saying "even if he doesnt pan out, he's only making the mid-level?" Where are those people at now? Now everyone is "trade Stro" or "Stro is the worst Rockets PF ever". Most of you people are a bunch of bandwagoners.
    Why is BOWEN playing more then Stro? Yea, he hustles, but he is what he is: a scrub that shouldn't get more than 10 minutes a game. With Yao out we need all the offense we can get. BOWEN COULDN'T HIT THE OCEAN IF HE FELL OUT OF A BOAT!!! Do you notice that every team is basically letting him shoot with no one even remotely close to him? That should be a red flag: "you shouldn't be shooting." Get the point Bowen....I'd rather Deke shott the 18 footer then you! So why is he getting more PT then Stro? I know he isn't in for offense, but thats what we need right now. His D isn't above and beyond Stro's either. Why not let Stro play 30 minutes one game just to see what he can do? Look at the last road trip....the 2 games he got 27 minutes what were his numbers? My point exactly....LET HIM PLAY! What can he possibly do in 14 minutes? What do YOU expect him to do in 14 minutes? I think its really sad if JVG has given up on him. Last night SS wanted to play, but JVG kept him on the bench. If Baxter and Bowen are getting the majority minutes at the 4, WE WONT WIN!! Just be patient with him and leave him in the game.....even if he turns the ball over, even if he gets in foul trouble. Force him to stay in the game, and tell him he isnt coming out. Treat him like we did Yao last year, and force him to stay on the floor no matter what.

    Swift>>>Bowen...END OF STORY!!!!!!!!!

    Wow. Is it National Rant Day or something. Because it seems like I've missed the memo.

    Well last night, to me, was a new season low. Even though we were 4-12 and now we are 10-14....this was a HORRIBLE loss. And if you watched it, as I did, you noticed that JVG ran the same play over-and-over-and-over-and-over-and-over............you get the point. WHY? McGrady wasn't getting any penatration coming off the PnR...all he could was tribble towards the sideline, not the basket.

    He had a nice little move once. I mean, he only took like 2-3 shots. But he was posted up on the block with his back to the basket. He spun towards the free-throw line, into the lane and put up a nice lil left hand finger roll.

    14 minutes is just absolutely ridiculous.
