    RA needs to remind Rafer his job is to get the assist.

    Rafer already on par im terms of shot attempts with Yao.

    I don't care what people say, Rafer makes the team a lot worse than a half ass McGrady on the court.

    RA needs to man up and tell him to stop shooting.

    Yao taking charges is funny. Makes the refs and the other team think about 300 pounds of meat falling on them.

    He's really been sucking it up recently.

    Who else can you rely on in the current Rockets? Too many minutes can crush Brooks at the moment, which is evident in several past games. Barring a good trade we would have to be patient to see Rafer keep sucking.

    Rafer is there to play because he doesn't TO the ball often, despite his poor FG%.

    If Rafer is making TOs and shooting a poor FG%, he is next to useless and is a negative for the team.

    To be fair to Rafer, Brooks did not play well either.

    Sorry to interrupt the typical whining that goes on around here, but the Rockets played some awesome defense. 15 points for the Heat in the second quarter. Championship level defense.

    Morey, please, trade Rafer for any back up PG and run a PG Rotation of Brooks/Barry/McGrady/PG from trade.

    Von is just plain playing out of his mind! That guy has got to be signed long term. Sign Wafer right now while we can afford it.

    I can't believe Clyde said Marion was one of the best defenders in the league. Man I miss Calvin.
