Not hating on Orlando and them having Rafer at point but honestly I'm not impressed... I would only be impressed if they beat the Lakers and won the championship otherwise Rockets would be in the finals if they came out of the east like Orlando did.
Man Rafer get that ring!!! bball street legend and nba champion, wouldn't that be great. Anyway MAGIC better win.
I think most of us don't mind Rafer - it's just annoying to see everyone acting like trading him was an incredibly stupid since the team we traded him to is in the NBA Finals, when they would definitely would have made it with Nelson and possibly with Johnson. It was a great trade for Houston as Lowry is an upgrade - just that Rafer's style fits the Magic better.
Just be happy for Rafer. He did his job for the Rockets and now he has a chance a lot of players would never experience., playing in the Finals. Good luck Rafer.
Happy for Rafer, and for the record he was 5-16 last night. The Rockets need more from their PG than the Magic do. DD
Happy for Skip,he did the heck of a job in Orlando and really fits the Magic better than Rockets. Hope the basketball street legend could get that ring,that'd be awesome if possible. Rafer FTW.
LOL! U guys still want to put a magnifier to look at Skip's FG%. How about Skip's defense on Guaran-Mo in the 1st half? Skip took more space away from Guaran-Mo and gave Guaran-Mo a tight press in 1st half. Guaran-Mo was totally a no-show in 1st half.
Congrats Rafer. Shows what I know, I was in the camp that said Rafer couldn't lead a team to the championship. Hadn't won it yet, but closer than I thought he could get them.
You know Rafer is happy to be out of our injury prone town and on a legit team. God I hope we can stay healthy / get healthy next season. Our core guys are awesome but we need our stars on the floor. ....well playing, not laying. GO ROCKETS!
Nobody should be anything but happy for Rafer. The trade was good for both teams. Brooks needed a chance (and i think he more then proved himself), and Rafer got to go to a team that fits his style of play better. He's worked very hard to get were he is , and I hope he gets his ring.
Portland called. They want to know who that number zero was that helped take them out in 6 games if it wasnt Aaron Brooks. That kind of thing is supposed to be illegal.
I think I am starting to spot a minor trend on those who are lamenting the trade of Alston. I'll just leave it at that.
