    You thought Yao got 4 or 5 rebounds tonight, ESPN doesnt think so, he got only 1 rebound the entire game from their boxscore.

    What a job by Brooks! Wow! 22 pts. 8 for 10 shooting? Holy ****! A guard that defends, steals, is grease lightning and can shoot? Whoo hoo! :eek: :D

    I think AB is a keeper without a doubt. He's flat out M$NEY!!! :D

    Am I missing anything? I don't understand why Adelman is keeping Scola on the bench. He was shooting the ball well and playing well overall.
    Why is Hayes even on the court. Whenever he is on the field, we have to play 4 on 5 on offense.
    Deffensively I don't see to much difference between Hayes and Scola.

    If the rest of the rockets can keep playing like this when T-mac comes back this team could be really good come march.

    The team is playing like a team now. My biggest fear is when T-mac comes back he'll have to take his 25 shots per game again regardless of how he's playing at the expense of the other players.

    If he tries to fit into the mold however, they'll get much better in a hurry.

    Kevin who!?
    Greg what!?

    No, we got the top 2 rookies, Scola and Brooks for Co-ROY.

    Great teamwork !!

    Congratulation to Rookie Brooks for his breakout game !!

    As for Big Yao....despite a back-to-back, 5 turnovers and a not-so-good rebounding game, still play his heart out with MVP-like figures: 30 points/8 rebounds/6 assists/4 blocks.

    Im seeing Alston the starter for this season and the playoffs with Brooks as the primary back up... with significant minutes.... next year I think Adelman will start testing Brooks as a starter... He is a starter quality pg... He doest turn the ball over... He knows where to give the ball to his teammates, he can shoot mid range and from behind the arc, penetrate, finish, and he is QUICK... His only weakness is he is physically small... but with his athletisism and vertical quickness it really doesnt matter.

    Mcgrady clogs the wheel too much......he's a great playmaker but the focus on him needs to be reduced, he tends to give to little time for teammates to make a decision. YES, I’m not in the Mcgrady camp, I’d trade him for nothing if the salary would come off the books.

    Good job, Rox. Welcome to the family, AB -- you're a keeper.

    Man, if only every team in the league had two obese forwards, two jumpshooting guards and a skinny, white guy who can't cover Yao.

    Rockets would be set for life.

    Aaron Brooks shows us his game tonight, and man was it impressive ! What a show by the rookie !

    A good win.

    GO ROCKETS.

    Three guys have an off game, Hayes, Battier, Bonzi. This would have been a loss without Tmac last year. But AB stepped up. Scola in 1st half as well.

    I'd rather have Durant.
