There is no good feeling watching TMac play so tentatively. He has to take over in the 4th. What pisses me off, is that I know Tmac can do it too. Remember how clutch he was in 04-05, and even in some early games last yr for us. He is clearly deferring, and it is hurting the team. Why can't he just drive to the hole more, get him at least 20 shots a game, c'mon. JVG is at fault for his stubborn ways, but Tmac really has got to man up and start playing like a superstar. Against any other team, ANY other team we would have lost. Gilbert was ice cold. Why can't we get a comforatable win

Tmac deferring to who? To Rafer Alston? Since Yao was not doing any shooting in the 4th also.

Hey Howard didn't suck tonight, at least by boxscore.

16 min, 8 rebounds (4 off), 2-5 shooting, 4 points.

Actually, they're not damn near identical, and James is bascially superior in pretty much every single significant category, and they will only get farther apart as the statistical impact of Rafer's "one shining moment" vs. Dallas dissipates.....so, your opinion is...well, crap.

The stats actually aren't the point, though.

The point is this: The Rox PG has to be able to score. Rafer can't score. James CAN score, and score VERY efficiently, by shooting a good percentage and not turning the ball over, not to mention he is not the sieve on defense that Rafer is.

With James - we are a championship contender .... with Alston playing 30+ mpg? We are not.

Nope. Mike James stagnates the offense. He'll dribble and dribble and if he can't get his OWN shot FIRST, then he'll attempt to dish with 5-6 seconds left.

It's time to get over your mancrush on Mike James. He ain't coming back. Too bad for you.

And yes, Rafer and MJ's stats are damn near identical.

Yes because the full brilliant fury of my opinions cannot exist on planet Earth in pure form without hundreds of thousands of casualties - it's like getting too close to the sun.

I guess the Rockets love to "toy" with disaster, another pathetic fourth quarter. They won't keep getting away with this. But, the story of the game:

VSPAN!

And a quiz: Who should get the ball EVERYTIME during the now famous fourth quarter meltdowns? (Hint: he is 7'6")

I feel sorry for the fans who are upset after a WIN...If you can't enjoy a win does that mean if we lost you're going to jump off a cliff?

Last time I checked 8-4 is a winning record. The Wizards came out to play tonight after getting blown out by Dallas. We all know the Rockets still need to improve, but it's an 82 game season. I'm sick of all the whiners on this board!

Credit the defense tonight for tonight's win. True gritty shutdown defense in the 1st half, not just the good defense by JVG design. McGrady didnt score much but he almost had a triple double, though he had 5 turnovers and 1-4 from the line. Spanoulis 3 assists ZERO turnovers, when the team had 20 alltogether. Very good game him by him

Ugly win: horrible shooting, many TOs.

restraints on Rafer/Head: 3 pointer shoot only from now

Rockets played only good games for the second week.

At least the Timberwolves are a championship contender.
