    You wish! Are you forgetting how big a role he played here as a 'closer' for this team few seasons back? If anything, Head's role with the team has been diminishing for quite some time now.

    Including myself, dozens upon dozens of members here already have you on ignore. The problem is we can still see your name show up about every 5 posts in the Game Thread. I truly do dread the fact that you found this website in the past year.

    Double figures for Brooks. Wonder if this will be enough to get him some more playing time

    "Are the Rockets better without Rafer?" is the first thread I expect after the game ends.

    Someone give Landry an eye patch and a hook to go along with his peg leg.

    well the thing about the championship years is...

    hakeem.

    that last part that i highlighted i really agree with. they become complacent. if you're up by 10 with a minute to go... what can happen? you're up by a lot right... it was enough time to cut it in half.

    what about being up by 16...get that lead to 20 at all costs. you get it to 20 and you win the game... the other team will be demoralized. but if you think youre up by enough.. well a 7-0 run was enough to get it into single digits... that's all the hope they needed to make another run later to take the lead.

    now i know this is just one game and we're gonna win anyway... but the issues remain the same night in and night out.

    3:06 HOU - A. Brooks made a 22-foot three-pointer from the right corner. Assist: T. McGrady

    Will this be the dagger?

    91 vs 78.....13 points lead with less than 3 minutes.

    Close this game out.....pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. :D

    He also scored more & shot better when JVG was the coach.

    I thought it was after the charge call he took and then Shane took at the other end. That all happened about the same time, so it is hard to say what was the catalyst. Thank God for whatever it was.

    Good. I hope he says it every time we win. If that's his mojo, so be it.

    It don't matter if your words are always the same
    It's all about the skills you display in the game.

    Ouch Rafer I feel sorry. But with that play of Aaron and Bobby you really have a tough situation. I hope Rick understands it too

    This will be the 1st game the Rockets have won this season w/o Rafer.

    dam I'm good. even though McGrady took over........I'm becoming increasingly annoyed, each passing game, with his pull up J, it's gonna hurt us come play off time when he's bricking 15-17 footers.
