    Bob Sura, Houston Rockets

    The numbers are irrefutable. The Rockets stumbled to a 6-11 start when back problems made Sura unavailable early in the season and they began to launch their recovery when he returned. Jeff Van Gundy doesn't have a pure point guard in his regular rotation, but Sura spearheads the effective quartet -- which also features Mike James, David Wesley and Jon Barry -- that has opened up the floor for Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming.

    I'd say the whole guard trio is more of the X-factor for the Rockets. If Barry, James, Sura, Wesley, and even Padgett are all hitting their 3's, then this series will be over before it starts.

    Wow,
    Mark Stein must go on Clutch BBS, because he stole headline of SURA BEING THE XFACTOR.

    If you guys have read the comics, X FACTOR is made up of several XMEN.
