    Is it just me or do the Rockets forget about Wafer, he is red hot and then he stops getting the ball, especially when Rafer is "running" the offense? The last few minutes of the half, he didn't seem to get any touches. I think this guy could score 30 a night he there were some plays for him. Right now is mainly picking up garbage points. He continues to play like this, the Rockets have a budding star.

    One good thing for Rafer is that he is trying hard!

    Is it just me or does Wafer seem to play better with Yao than just about any previous player I can remember. He hits the open outside shot with consistency when Yao is drawing double teams in the paint and takes it strong to the hoop when Yao draws his man out of the paint.

    He is living proof that if you try hard, give it your best, go all out and you can't shoot, you will still miss alot of shots. :D

    How can anyone not see that Rafer is the Rockets' biggest weakness? Just when you think he can't play any worse... He's stinking it up against a rookie in Chalmers and Chris Quinn, imagine him againt elite competition in the playoffs. He needs to benched and play no more than 5 mpg until we get him outta here. I'll take my chances with AB.

    Also, why is Yao still taking charges?

    Last, Battier just runs around on offense like a chicken with his head cut off. He has no real skills.

    With all due respect, this is the kind of thing you say about some dumpy kid in little league. In the NBA you would hope for more than "trying hard."

    what's up with our 3 point shooting?!
    With yao taking up so much defence attention in the middle, we couldn't make even one single outside shot?

    Your Shane hatred is just silly. He's got five assists and has been one of the main guys holding Wade to 3-10 shooting.

    Oh well, Rafer was bad, but can't blame him for not getting ball to Wafer when starters are back on court, because every starter were just as hot or even hotter than Wafer except Rafer himself of course.
