    And only 1 turnover...that's awesome! Everyone contributed this game, but the Wiz have been giving up a lot of points lately and we're no exception...still, good win.

    I can't remember the last time 6 Rockets scored in double figures. Nice win! Maybe the Rockets should play home games on another court so they will think they are on the road. :D

    A much needed win for the Rox. Rafer, like it or not is our best distributor and ball handler. Now maybe T-Mac can get free from some duties and score.

    Just missed this one cause I had to work ( but that is a good thing - means sales are still strong!!) but it looks like I missed a really good one!

    The rotation looks much better rafer strong game, wes with only 25 minutes, Luther 31, lucas 13 and contributed, tracy only 35 min, Juwan, swift (28min) and deke with strong games. Rybo only 8 minutes which is what we need him for. Didn't need Moochie's strong PG skills....

    29 frigging assists and only 12 to's wow!!

    Can't wait for Barry and DA to come back!!!

    Yao keep healing baby!

    :D

    Great game man, I can't remember the last Rockets game I have enjoyed watching this much, and not only because we won, but rather because of the beautiful poetry I was seeing out there on the court, everything moving smoothely and ending in usually open jumpers, which the players made today for a change. Howard was awesome, he's been showing since Yao went down that he STILL can score near his career averages and contribute on offense, the only issue for him at times is consistency from one game to the next. But we tend to forget that despite his age/injuries and lack of athleticism, this guy used to carry teams in the past as the primary scorer. He can score, he has a real nice touch and a nice shot. I can only hope that Swift (who unlike JH has athleticism) learns a thing or two from JHo as far as his footwork and his excellent decision-making.

    As for Rafer, hopefully this is just the beginning of things to come from him, and not only until Yao comes back, because we NEED these guys to be active and not passive in order for us to dominate opponents during the season. It just shows that they ARE capable of being those 'missing pieces' we're looking for, but they need to WANT to act like this every single game, enough of the passive crap. Rafer was actually moving around the court and playing like his Toronto days -- more free-flowing and more aggressive on offense. Head looked sharp for the most part, still has a learning curve to go through obviously. Swift is getting more and more comfortable and seems to have FINALLY turned the corner as far as understanding his role and going out there and just playing, without thinking too much or putting too much pressure on himself.

    Now, hopefully, DA and JB will be back soon and we will see a better product out there.

    Great game! I wish they would replay it at night, but sadly they don't since I have DishNetwork (which doesn't even show the post-game show :mad: )

    I don't think she has the Lee at the end of her name anymore, although I could be wrong. They did have a divorce I believe.
