    AB did great tonight. I hope he can keep this up but I doubt it. He's all over the places. Good games and too many bad games. He was pretty much riding on the whole team shooting well tonight. He needs to do that(lead the team) if the team isn't doing well.

    Brooks should do well against Blazers.

    Rafer led us to a game 3 victory in hostile jazz territory. Fans are quick to forget his contributions to that 55 win team last season.

    Id never forget his contributions to the Rockets. He was a warrior and played with great passion and heart. He was the best at running the offense for us. If only he could shoot better...

    AB is better than reefer but Lowry sucked tonight. And unless I am in some parallel universe we traded for lowry not AB0.

    While i am glad he had a great night. A few great shooting nights does not make up for his pg play. He is a scorer first and a lot of times it hurts us. Why do you think Artest brings it up some times. Half is so he can take a shot and the other is to try to give it to Yao. Its said that Artest (who is a chucker) is one of our best players at giving it to Yao.

    AB is also really bad at passing to Yao. Third and most of second were great examples of that

    The realist in me watched this game and especially the 4th quarter and realized the Brooks is using up all his "makes" for the series. Don't be surprised if Brooks scored more tonight than he does in the rest of the games in this series combined.

    I just think this series is tailor made for Brooks. The Blazers aren't a very good defensive team, they're young, they don't play physical, and their PG is a guy Brooks can take advantage of one on one. Everything is aligned for Brooks to excel in this series. He has no excuse for not playing well throughout.
