    Easily his best game as a Rocket, and what a time to have it! You can tell he just wants to win, and I'm glad he's got a shot with us.

    It's funny how he did not even get credit for one of his steals, because he had two on the inbounds and two regular ones. You always need guys like him! We had Earl Cureton in 93-94 and Charles Jones in 94-95 as the older ones. This year we have two: Terry and Prigioni. While the former had an off game, the latter had a great one. The night before, roles reversed. Just amazing!

    This is bled over from Eastern European soccer hooliganism. A lot of these clubs are off shoots from futbol clubs where fans sneak in **** to throw at players and fireworks. Look up fireworks and galatasaray and you will find numerous "welcome to hell" videos.

    Wow so Ultra... yeah Priggy is used to loud noises and might actually play better when under pressure.

    Pablo was great. My favorite thing about him is something he & DMo have in common -- if/when they make a mistake on one possession, they try their damndest to make up for it on the next one. If one of those two turns the ball over or takes a terrible shot on one end, you can almost guarantee a try for a steal or a charge on the other. Doesn't always work out, but you have to love that.

    A Bev/Jet/Pablo rotation would have been really sweet this postseason, though who knows whether McHale would've allowed all three in the rotation. A really interesting/potentially devastating mix of skills among those 3. Fuse them into one body and we'd have a quality starting PG.
