    not only was K-Mart good on O there, he looked at least interested on D. he tried and challenged shots unlike our bigs. we should be 10 up if not for missing open J's and FT's. Get that 4th early on dwight and get the starters to penetrate the basket.

    Dwight Howard was in foul trouble but the team couldn't take advantage.

    You know the Magic will kick it up a notch and actually start playing defense in the third quarter. Will Houston be able to keep up?

    You know Rick only played JJ because he didn't want Hill to pick up any fouls so he has them all when Dwight comes back..

    Kevin Martin with 14 minutes of play in the first half. I don't know if that is low or average for him.

    Man Martin is on another level right now,I feel sorry for him. he went from a terrible Sacramento team to a injury plagued Rockets squad.

    I don't care about Jeffries situation, he must play on this team, period. He goes in and automatically raises the defensive level. Rebounding? Does he rebound much worst than our other big guys?

    We desperately need his presence, he's a constant patch on the defensive end, amends almost every mistake of the other guys.

    True, i like Kmart. I hope Morey doesnt trade him he's a good second option on a championship team.

    Howard missed most of the first half, so he's rest and extra motivated to sart the 2nd half off right. I hope Hill's ready.


    Pat has looked good.

    It's amazing how Jefferies hasn't received any playing time up to this point, he easily looks to be our best rim protector.

    yep. I honestly can't remember the last time one of our bigs took a charge. Rockets were drawing charges like crazy last year. This year, it's a lay up drill for the other team the entire game.

    Hopefully Dwight gets another quick foul to start the 3rd

    He's great on the defensive end but doesn't mesh with the high post stuff on offense IMO. The offense tends to stagnate with him in there.

    Not likely, the refs are going to even things up... I predict a very rough qtr.

    We probably have the worst interior defense in the NBA, not playing some zone and not mixing in more of Jefferies his been Adleman's biggest coahing failure this year.

    I wonder when the refs are gonna take control of this game. Cause you know it's going to happen.

    They really don't have to with our interior defense!
