    Does anyone know the dunk count for him so far? A dunk compliation video of Stro in a Rockets uniform would be awesome. :D

    Stro needs to start...he covers up sloth footed Ming.

    u know what? not many will agree with me, but I was proud of him last night, when he stole the ball with less than a min to go and just went for the easy dunk and not some spectacular dunk. Kinda show maturity for me, but as I heard one of the announcers said, Stro needs to be Yao's Otis Thorpe as he was for Dream. Thats all we can ask for.

    ....and cover for the plodding Howard.

    Interesting - you can just see Stro figuring it out, getting better each game. Got to figure that Stro and Head will be starting pretty soon - they add the athleticism we sorely need. They regularly play during crunch time so why not start them? With them, we have a real upside. With Wesley and Howard, we're mired in quicksand.

    Agreed. He is improving in very SMALL increments but the improvement is there. I like his passing inside the paint. We saw a little of that in the preseason. He's got to start sooner or later.

    I really like Stro, but it T-Mac a few months to get what JVG wanted him to do and lets face it Stro seems to be the male version of an "MRF" so I bet it will take him even longer to get in the mix..

    I'm OK with Howard starting. If Stro gradually improves, his minutes will go up and he will play during crunch time. That's the only thing that matters. And it's a big assumption that Stro will improve. Maybe this road trip will be a breakthrough.

    Swift is still too foul prone.

    I felt a tremor in the force, Luke. There was actually a positive thread about a Rockets player..... :eek: :D

    That will likely dimish once he stops second guessing himself about the different positioning. He is looking better all the time, hopefully the trend continues.

    I really hope he could be more consistent and stop lookin like a fool with his positioning, but I've never doubted his athletic skills...the kid got game. So he should impress JVG ASAP so he could get a chance to start in the lineup

    I absolutely love what this guy brings and believe that T-Mac will really help him move his game to the next level! I am glad we have him and stand behind him 100%!

    Stro will keep yao out of foul trouble. with howard, yao knows he has to cover his back, because juwon is a horrid defensive player. but with stro, yao knows stro can hold his own, hence no help needed.
