    Our Big 3 showed up to play tonight.

    This is the Rockets team we all expected to see before the season.

    If Big 3 are all healthy, its finals 100%. Well done T-Mac, played better than any of Kobe's game this season. Props to artest, you deserve it.

    This is T-Mac not yet in shape. Imagine what he'll be when he gets back into his normal form. Player of the game, and great game by the Rockets, especially our Big 3 and AB.

    Even though Rafer Alston's contributions weren't visible in the box score, clearly he runs the offense and is just too valuable of a contributor on defense. Chauncey Billups had 8 points on 3-10 shooting... that's Rafer, straight out. Totally irreplaceable.

    grats to tmac with the triple double and artest finished huge with a clutch fourth quarter! yao was dominant tonight though. also, good job by brooks filling up rafer's role

    how in the world is that only tmac's 4th career triple double? we are talking about a pts/rebs/asts machine who has had to absolutely carry teams throughout his career. it seems almost impossible that he has only matched up the 10+ rebounds with the 10+ assists only 3 times before tonight. but apparently that's the case.

    I hope this game lets the people who have doubt about this team know that we are gonna be allright. If the big 3 can remain healthy then we are just gonna keep geling, and come late Feb early March we gonna be on fire. This team is gonna give the NBA fits once we hit our stride, and shout out to Brooks for playing very well and containing billups tonight.

    Great win. I hope after Head laid a big egg during his 5 minutes of play, Francis will get a crack at it on Friday. He just has to be ready to play.

    The game is so easy for the rest of the team when Tmac is playing like Tmac.

    TMac had a great game, and it wasn't on national TV!

    Brooks should be promoted to started, he controls the offense well and did a decent job defensively on Billups.

    Last, fire Cylde and Bill, hire Gene and Jim ASAP!

    Aaron Brooks played like a mini quick version of SF3 without the ability to dunk like crazy. Dribble attacks the rim and makes something happen. Aaron Brooks our new starter then SF3 when he is healthy our back up PG
