    T-Mac looked good playing the system. First two possessions of the second half he showed the ball and got his defender to bite. But he didn't shoot after either fake--he passed the ball and Alston and Battier got points. He played smart the whole game and didn't jack up contested shots and the Rockets looked a lot better as a whole.

    One win. What's the next?

    lets get stronger and play cohesively and consitently.

    Dont get stagnant and play tough in defense.

    Who cares about him having a victor's smile with opponents?

    Question. Who knows why Rafer didn't have name on the back of his jersey (only No. 12)?

    He wanted to be called the "The balla with no name" naw seriously
    for some reason they went with a backup jersey and didn't have time to put the name on it.

    Because Rafer did some pre-game alterations to the lettering so it read...

    ALSTAR

    so the coaches made him rip all the letters off.

    Yao built a good foundation first quarter then T.Mac lead the others to finish it.

    oh I thought it was cause he didn't want people to see his name if he kept bricking shots...but being serious, he made his floaters tonight and I think that this was the best overall performance by the Rockets this year, and the thing that was the most satisfying, besides the balance in the scoring, was that they got a good 116 points. Hopefully the team can keep up this play.

    The real answer is that he gave away his jersey after the Denver game and they didn't have a real replacement.

    Blinebury mentioned it in his blog.

    The only thing Rasheed still has working is his big mouth.

    Our guards will have a tough matchup against Detroit.

    The first fully Chinese frontcourt would be noteworthy.

    The key for tomorrow is to match the Pistons physical play early. Scola and bench will have to come through again tomorrow. I look for a close game and the Rockets will be ready Wallace.

    Out of 18 teams that played tonight, the Rockets put up the second most points after the Suns.

    And, the Bulls are still an upper echelon defensive team. Near the top in opponents PPG, RBG and opponents FG%.

    good test for our guards, billups and Rip are no slouch.

    billups will try to post up AB when he sees him.
