only way carter should be on this team is for t-mac. t-mac didn't even play tonight; add carter in and we'll finally have a legit/healthy team.
After this game, it's the perfect time to make a decision about Artest: 1) If he is willing to sign an extension, give him a 4 year $11-12 mil/yr contract. 2) If he is not willing to sign an extension, trade him asap so we can get something out from him...
Yes I have. And I've also been watching the Rockets play with T-Mac this season. Everything looks good when the shots are falling.
me too...it's always better with matches between their toes. they're playing like baron davis in a contract year.
Very glad to see Rafer playing like a point Guard. Now we know he can do it if he makes up his mind to do so. Very glad to see Battier return from the dead. I just hope the miracle keeps working for another 30 games or so. In general I was impressed with a good team effort and the game was entertaining!! After all thats what the game is all about!
That's true. Actually, Les has no solution for Tracy McGrady. No deals can be made until next year. We just stuck here with him this year. With all these dramas about him, I dont expect he'll come back and fit in even though he might be able to put up some good numbers but destroy the team chemistry. I heard a rumor that Les said the Rockets dont need a deal before the trade deadline. That's interesting if you think of all these trade rumors about the Rockets. If there is no trade, I'll be very excited to see how the Rockets handle the second half of the season and how well they will play in the playoffs all with out Tracy McGrady.
Wow good game. Alston really seems to thrive w/o Tmac, while Battier need to keep his tan for the rest of the season all the way into the playoffs. Also I would like to note that at one point in the game, the Rox's best player on the yahoo play by play was Battier, and the Net's best player was Brooks. Seeing their pics on yahoo together cracked me up for some reason. Regarding this game, it made me realize that Tmac and Alston just cannot co-exist. Having Tmac around negates Alston's greatest strength, while emphasizing his greatest weakness. One of them definitely have got to go if we are going to reach playoff success. On the other hand since Tmac is injured maybe we can put off making a decision till next year....
Talk about a statistical oddity Every single Rocket had a positive +/- except one.....can anyone guess who it is before you hit the link ? DD
I think when Yao started 0-3 everyone started talking about how much Yao Sucks 20 pts, 12 rebs, 3 asts, 2 blks and +30 on the court, not bad
The Rockets rely too heavily on the three ball. It is good that they went in this game. Wafer shoots a lot but it seems that if he is hitting no one cares. The team still stands around watching (the others) during various parts of the game. It is funny how that is forgotten in a win. The next few days will be interesting.
