    Saw his face but couldn't tell what he was saying. He seemed disgruntled, but maybe he was just out of breath. I do that when I'm tired while playing bball.

    He did go up and attack the basket pretty hard on that one series. After that he was walking around kinda casually.

    could be upset that they lost that quarter.

    could be upset with how winded he is.

    He didn't look injured to me but maybe I missed something at the end of the half. What did you see to make you think he is injured?

    The overall team speed is vastly improved. It feels like I am watching the Rockets in fast forward. Shooting is clearly improved. TMac isn't back at his "all universe" level, but he is playing very well and looks strong. Besides TMac, Novak can shoot (that may be it but still valuable), Battier is a force, and Synder looks good, big and strong. Alston is playing well. Great to see Scotty back. Wells, VSpan, JHoward, and HEAD, where art thou? I am amazed Luther has not seen the light of day, is he hurt?

    He looked "gassed" as he was walking off the court, to be expected for sure.

    i'm sure they will either get minutes in the second half or next game. in pre-season not everyone plays every game.

    Half time.....49 vs 37.

    The Rockets sort of relaxed and let the Grizzlies to come back from a 20 point deficit.

    TMAC: 17 points/5 assists
    Battier and Novak: 6 points each
    Alston: 5 points/3 assists

    being in game form is WAY different than just running your ass off around the track 10 times a day. just giving him playing time will get him back into form, he looked healthy and thats all that matters. dont worry about his conditioning. and DAMN! everyone saw that sick behind the back pass which chuck hayes flubbed right?!?!? SICK S9&T! :D

    Spanoulis: draws charge on first defensive possession, strips the ball on the second defensive possession.

    Great start.

    Maybe T-Mac accidentally crapped his pants on the way to the locker rooms.

    Dude this is going to be hilarious when the announcer announces:

    "Gay Jump Shot" Missed
    "Gay Dunk Shot"
