    I think he enjoys doing it his way and only his way. He will not change. So we can all enjoy the show which is JVG.

    Battier looked fine to me. Don't know why people freak out. Guys like JJ are just impossible to stop when they make their jumpers and force you to step up. Tmac was great on him but you cannot have him do it full time and still carry the offense.

    Ýao returning might help tmac defend better.

    Let us hope Utah looses tonight because the Rockets are now two games behind the Spurs in the lost column. If the Jazz win the Rockets will be three games behind them

    yea i hope w/ yao returning JVG will give tmac more defensive responsibility. johnson never tried to take tmac straight up, calling for a pick EVERYTIME when it's obvious we want him to take tmac man up.

    Atlanta played better. "Winnable game," but wrong team became the "roadkill."

    And bench playing, rebounding, shooting. Hawks were just great.

    I understand no team wins 82 but as a Rockets fan, I wish they have a final ranking as high as possible. Dropping games to ATL is not as same as losing to Mavs. This game is so winnable, even with Battier and Head's off night----if JVG could play Snyder a little. You don't just hand a lottory team a win when you are going full speed for the 3rd seed. This is NOT just another road lose.
    As a matter of fact, there are some bad habits that concerns me during our recent games (which are still decent), for example, relying too much on Tmac and Tmac alone, hesitate to shoot the ball when open. Guranteed, Yao's return will cover some of the problems, but to be a real contender, everybody needs to step up, not to ride the wing of superstars. I love this team, every player (well, not much about JL3), and wish them the best with all my heart. And that is exactly why I know it is impossible to win every game but I am still upset each time Rockets lose. Does that make me a whining jerk? Now your words.

    How come the Nuggets can have a new uni and Rockets haven't change the colors to their unis. Also, if anyone is watching the Jazz/Nuggets game, check out the knee brace Boozer is wearing.

    What game were you watching. Battier could not defend neither JJ nor Joe Smith.
