    Currently, this is true. If we were completely healthy, I bet we'd be better.

    Of course they are. Nobody's denying that. What I'm saying is that if the Rockets keep playing at this level now with a roster that's still heavily depleted ... how many teams in the league can boast of "nearly upsetting" the Pistons, much less winning AT Detroit? We held them to less than 41% shooting, and that is one of the most offensively efficient teams in the league. Maybe the Rockets are in fact vastly underrated because of injuries. Like I said, watch the "fire JVG" bandwagon begin to dwindle rapidly once the Rockets start putting quality wins together.

    if this team can get in the playoffs with everyone healthy, the number 1 or 2 team we play will definitely have their hands full!! If this team can build that momentum in the coming months, along with adding players back from injury, we can make a run at the championship! Especially if we stay healthy, but this has been our biggest enemy all year!

    I LIKE THIS TEAM!!

    P.S. Screw Duncan and the Spurs, Cuban and his Mavs! We can hang!

    Good thing about this loss is we are a step closer to top pick.

    I am against playing Tmac for some many minutes, especially when his injury is clearly not healed yet.

    Games like this give me hope that once the Rockets are full strength they can make a serious run.

    THe REFS HANDED THE PISTONS ANOTHER WIN PLAIN AND SIMPLE. The Rockets had this game won if not for the 16 more free throws the REFS GAVE the Pistons. When Yao gets back the Rockets will go on a solid run and get back in the playoff race. Go Rockets!!!

    Gonna have to agree with you there. The refs were atrocious. I hate it when refs call fouls (or don't) based on reputation. The Pistons have a reputation as being a "physical" team which means they foul a helluva lot but the refs will let them get away with bloody murder. I hate the f-ing refs for screwing us both last year and this year on a continual basis and I hate David Stern who also has it in for us.

    I'm very proud of T-Mac. He was great. We came very close to beating the number 1 team in the league despite all our injuries. If we had a healthy Yao along with T-Mac we would have won.

    A Psychological Victory for a galant Rockets Team.

    Well, he did score 81 points. :)

    T-Mac sure is getting his share of love, but we didn't win, unfortunately.

    No way to see or listen to the game, but I followed the score on Yahoo. I have posted that the deficiences of the supporting cast have been exposed since the injuries of Ming and TMac, BUT, maybe TMac doesn't need a supporting cast. ;) Francis often tried to go one on five with limited success; TMac can come close to doing it successfully. He is just unreal. I wish I could have seen it. I am proud of the team for taking the Pistons to the wall, a very good sign.
