    Towards the end of the third quarter they were getting their butts kicked, but then ended the quarter on a great mark. Shutting down the Spurs like that and making them turn the ball over posession after posession and then scoring 16 unanswered points was just awesome.

    Hey you don't have to worry about us losing we just won. Woopee [​IMG]


    The Rockets flat out played a big game tonight. It was nice to see Cato have a good game. Do you agree? Who was your player of the game? My vote goes to "Moochie" Norris.

    GO ROXS !!!

    I thought it was nice to see the "Dynamic Duo" tear up the court. I also think that Cato has been doing a little bit better than he did last year, but he is still pretty foul prone. What was up with Olajuwon's playing time? He only got like 10 minutes.

    Hakeem played only six bloody minutes! That is rediculous. Rudy needs to play him for at least 20 minutes a game this preseason. Since his breathing is not a problem anymore, perhaps Hakeem could get into some kind of offensive rhythm. I would love to see the Dream of two years ago. If he played a little more(and got the ball occasionally), I think that could happen.

    ZRB,

    It has not really been determined yet that Dream's breathing is not a problem. In fact, it worries me that his lack of PT might be due to some health problems that he is not talking about. Something is just not right about the whole situation...

    Hakeem's breathing is still a problem. He just feels that he can do better with the medication he is taken. We don't want Dream to play too much or we risk getting him injured and then we will have Cato and our PF's playing center. That would be disasterous against teams with dominant centers.

    This is the preseason. The Rockets are probably trying to get Cato even more involved since this is Hakeem's last year. If Dream could get through the season without injury, that would be a plus.

    We need Dream's defensive presence in the paint. It is better to have a little Dream in every game than no Dream at all.
