    That and the Suns tightened up on defense. The Rockets did us proud tonight.

    the one thing the rockets need to put them over the top is gonna be a scoring/rebounding wing player. Hopefully bonzi or kirk can become that for us. they both looked good tonight.

    Nice effort from the Rockets again. Say what you will about Van Gundy, he always has his teams ready to play and compete no matter what the circumstances. Nice to see Bonzi playing and making an inpact. Let's get 'em next time!

    VSpan should be given Lucas minutes. If we are not going to use the guy at all, let VSpan go back to his old team and play.

    Lucas is a shoot first, shoot second...pass 2455439th point guard, a poor man's Steve Francis.

    He is quick as hell though. He's the first guy I've seen actually keep up laterally guarding Barbosa's drives.

    great game, just hanging in there was good enough. the loss still sucks, but it was a good one, if there is such a thing

    i think it's intresting that we were much closer to winning this game, then we were with yao and mcgrady playing, but i guess some might credit that to phoenix "taking the night off"

    poor shot selection, stagnant offense in the fourth and poor rebounding is the story of this game. still, not too shabby for not having our full strength and playing a top contender

    I'm getting tired of him rushing shots, instead of stting things up for others. At about the 2:30 mark, when we still had a chance, we race down the court and the chump immediately tosses up a trey. Of course, he doesn't make it. At that point, they could have set up a high % shot, keeping close, and who knows? Damn stupid thing for him to do. I don't mind him taking shots within the offense, but that crap has to stop. He's supposed to be a point.

    What about Marion vs. JH? Nash vs. Rafer? (Though Nash did have 6 TOs).
