    Even tho Baker really sucks now, but I would love to see him make a comeback of some sort of magnitude. Truth be told, I still like Baker more than Moochie... atleast Baker has proven he can be a factor in the league.

    Come on Baker! You can do it!!!

    Go Rockets!

    How about both of them? I don't want to see Moochie play again when Sura's back. And I don't want to see Baker period.

    Moochie still can't shoot and baker is just really out of playing shape. Toss a coin

    head or tails.

    Ha, that would be hilarious. Its not going to matter, but it will be Baker. Howard, Spoon, Padgett, Deke, and Yao should be able to hold down the 4/5.

    Baker - \

    JVG likes having three point guards

    besides we already have two PGs on the all IR team (ward and barret)

    It has to be Baker. With Sura you never know when his back (or knees) might act up and he has to miss a game. If that happens we will need Moochie to play at the backup PG spot. Even if Howard goes down for a game or two, I think the combo of Spoon and Padgett would be fine for a short span of time.

    Has Baker always looked so lanky? I thought he had more bulk.

    i remember back in the day glen robinson was voted #1 nice guy and approachable for autographs. while patrick ewing was voted the least nice guy.

    i think we could waive barrett (considering we have moochie, ward, sura, and james already), place bowen on the IL and give the big dog a chance. hes been a proven veteran and solid contributer everywhere hes been. the only problem in philly was they never gave him a shot.

    it seems as though the board wants sura to start over james. i think robinson and james would pack a nice scoring punch for our secondary unit.


    what do you guys think?

    I think Baker should be out. He doesn't even seem like he wants to play for us. Moochie, although not as great a player, loves the Rockets so much and his effort and desire should be rewarded. I don't see either player making great contributions, but Moochie's attitude will be better for team chemistry.

    With a title like "Who's OUT", I expected a thread talking about gay Rockets players. With the Steve-Cuttino love connection gone, we haven't had a thread on this topic all season.

    I was gonna go with Tyrone Lue, but since he's gone, maybe Moochie?

    I think at this point...Moochie deserves a shot on the bench... he's been more productive than Baker so far. Yeah he still can't shoot but he's been doing a nice job of distibuting the ball (and quicky.) Last night he had 3 Assists to only 1 TO, add a steal and a couple rebounds in 13min...thats not too bad for a guy thats gonna be playing behind Sura and James. Plus I trust him bringing the ball up more than Ward and Barret. And he's got a good attitude. Baker, given 6min to prove what - if anything - he has left... had 4 fouls, 2 turnovers and 2 freebies. I didnt even see him much try on the boards. Now that's not exactly proving your critics wrong.
