Jelani McCoy, 15 and 10 in 20 minutes. Not a bad showing for their backup center. I think they'll be fine when Ewing goes down this year. Patterson, 16 points and 3 steals on 6-11 shooting backing up Lewis. Mason started and looked like a rookie. Williams got 5 assists backing up Payton. It's only one game, but I don't think the "just wait till Ewing goes down" plan is a solid one. With Brent Barry, McCoy, Patterson, Williams, etc. giving them strong bench play, the Rockets may be fighting for one playoff spot against Sacramento and Dallas. Swift looked real nice in that game for Vancouver as well. ------------------ "I'd like to be going down Fourth Avenue in a parade with all the graffiti coming down on our heads." -- Patrick Ewing, showing off that Georgetown edumacation.
