    He is having a comparable season to Landry's last year. He is really turing into a solid player. He knocked down some great mid-range sbhots tonight, drove to the basket and hit 3's. Noce all-around game when you throw in the fact his defense is getting much better.

    Sweet :D

    Yeah and he's had to defend some really good players the past few games.

    Nilla Wafer and AB are my two favorite Rockets. They better still be in Houston uniforms when the Yao T-Slack era ends, or I don't know what I'll do with myself.

    The guy is definitely mixtape worthy. I hope someone makes a mix of all his recent great plays of this year. I mean, remember the 7 3's against Memphis?! The guy is clutch!

    A little belated, but MUCH appreciation for Wafer.

    To be honest, I doubted that he would make any real impact for this team. I thought his defense was too suspect and he was too much of a ball hog.

    With more playing time, he's proving me wrong. His recent play is a big reason why this team hasn't collapsed from all the injuries.

    he just needs to work on his post feeds.. I saw him twice.. opt for the covered 3pt shot against the Thunder.. instead of getting the pass in to a well positioned Yao..

    Von & Aaron have been the bright by far this season.

    Love your signature : ) It put a smile on my face. I'm actually impressed by the comparison, but I'm also aware that Yao has been injured pretty often and also came into the league much older than KG. Still though, I'm impressed

    Apart from Strawberry having a bomb girl, I don't see any advantages.

    Morey stroke again with a good decision.

    No. MIP will go to Devin Harris or Jameer Nelson, imo. Wafer won't get enough minutes.

    He definitely has a shot, but I think Granger/Jameer Nelson will win it.
