    I'm afraid that John Lopez's suckage will infect Rafer back to his old self.

    Here are some quotes:

    <HR>
    We knew we had to play with a little more energy on offense. At the start of the year we weren't playing with energy and his offense requires a lot of energy.

    We have two top ten players in this game, but those guys are unselfish. Whoever has it going, we're going to keep feeding them.


    on the addition of Bobby Jackson:
    Once we got him, I knew he was going to be an instant help. One, I get more rest. Two, we can play together at times because he can score. He's a combo guard.

    on losing in the first round last year and being motivated to advance this year:
    That drives you every year. Teams that make the playoffs, they come back next year with a hunger to win it all. A lot of us haven't been out of the first round, but that's a goal for us. But we have a team that can go far.

    The point guard situation, it's not an easy situation for you in this conference. You got to come out ready to play every night.

    on poor fan attendance at the start of games:
    I see a lot of velvet seats. I don't know -- Houston has great dining, I must say. I think people are out dining at these nice restaurants. They dine first, then they come out with a few drinks to watch the game. We would love to have that atmosphere in the early going.

    You would think after winning 12 games in a row, more fans would be inclined to go to the games. Guess not.

    You heard Rafer, rich people. Put the drumstick DOWN, go to the bar, get some taffy and return to your seats that your company shelled out thousands to get season tickets for.

    We have to call it what it is, the above is a racist quote and should stop immediately. We're all 3 colors (red, white, and silver).

    The Rockets should institute a policy after the 1st quarter of allowing all fans to move closer to empty seats. It easier to say than implement. You don't want to p.o. the corporate sponsors.

    Lopez covering 'lawns & gardens' isn't "racist", just doom for lawns & gardens, if plants really do respond to positives.

    Lopez sucks the silver lining outah every cloud.

    I think Toyota Center should provide more food and healthier alternatives to compete with the restaurants. I eat there when I go to games, but currently the menu does not have enough offerings to satisfy my pallate.

    It would be nice if they brought back those big sandwiches kiosks where they slice the turkey and beef.
