    What hater are you talking about? MJ played like a true PG tonight, only forced shots 1 or 2 times. Had he played like this all the time, nobody would have complained.

    He still owes me some playing time in the game 7 vs the Mavs. Getting himself thrown out pissed me off.

    Mike James has been the man! The offense seems a lot more potent when he's at the wheel. D.Willams was just abusing Rafer all night and there wasn't much he could do. Rafer had to put some points on the board to cover up the spanking he was getting. I think his feeling the heat from M.James. This team has great chemistry so far. The bench is too deep for most teams. A win on the road in the opening game in the season, then a win in Utah & T-mac scoring the second highest game in a Rockets uniform, all within the first to games of the season. I got a feeling this is going to be a special year. Go Rockets!!! It's Time!! :D

    and by the way i still think that he should not start because coming off the bench provides our team with some scoring punch along with bonzi..that's why ginobili is not a starter.greg popovich know what he is doing

    Kleiza was very good last year for Denver. What you see now is a continuation of what he was doing last year.

    Seems like assistant coach didn't care.

    Oh and yes, Mike James is the man at PG. I'm telling you Brooks can do exactly what Rafer does. He needs to be shopped.

    And Mike James played badly in the first game against Lakers.
    Whats the point of the tread?

    He have 1 good game and 1 bad game.
    While rafer did the same thing.

    So if they alternate having good days, i be happy.

    Now where is SF3 and AB? i want to see them play.

    Now bonzi was great in the first 2 game.

    I love to admit I was a James hater and was wrong. He has played as a great 6th man off the bench.

    It is still just 2 games though, if he keeps on doing what he is doing and taking intelligent shots and being a pass first PG when TMAC and/or Yao are on the court, I am happy to admit I am wrong all the way to a Rockets championship :D.

    To be honest, it doesn't look like you saw the first game against the Lakers at all.

    mike james helps this team the most when he comes in as a scoring punch off the bench.

    if he starts you're not gonna see the mike james you see these first 2 games. He's like the nitrous oxide........if you're racing a car, you dont use that oxide right off the bat, you do it at the right times.

    he might've played like a true pg, but creating and distributing is not his stregnth, he loves to score, which is why he has to remain the 6th man.......putting him in the starting lineup only underutilizes james, which is detrimental to the team.

    Give credit where it is due. Kudos Mike James... Great game... However, He still did nothing point guardish when Tmac was in the game...

    Is he a good scorer, indeed. He proved this a few seasons ago.
    A good point guard? Lets see a few more of those alley's and on point passes before we label him as "THE" point guard.

    AdeelSiddiqui... and yes he's doing good... Do I expect him to keep up the pace? NO, hes bound to suck. Do I wish for him to keep up the pace and help the Rockets win? Hell ya!

    I would just like to briefly thank Justin Reed and Juwan Howard for making this possible.

    Calling them out Clutch!

    Reminds me when a so called "Bulls" fan was talking crap and I told him I remember the Jordan shot over Ehlo and I asked him, "who was the coach of the Bulls?"
    and he would say "PHIL JACKSON".

    I would have to boom him and say "NO" that was "Doug Collins".

    HAHA...and boy do we hear about it every TNT broadcast. He's as bad with the Michael Jordan references as John Madden is with Brett Favre.
