This is from Fran Blinebury's blog.

So if Deke's elbow is really that useful and completely turns around a player's productivity and efficiency, and if you have only one choice, which Rockets will you want Deke's elbow goes to ??

Juwan Howard such that he can be a double/double player every night from the bench ?

Vassillis Spanoulis such that he can become the next Tony Parker ?

Bonzi Wells such that he can wake up and come to his senses and be back into trim and competitive form and shape ?

Bob Sura to resurrect from his 2-year hibernation/rehabilitation ?

Or any other wishes ??

Yukking it up -- Rockets stomp Warriors 118-90

Yes, they committed 18 of their 21 turnovers in the second half and could have been far less sloppy in the fourth quarter. A good team might have given them trouble.

Then again, if it was a good team the Rockets were playing, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming would have been in the game for the 4th quarter.

T-Mac 31 points, 7 assists, 3 steals.
Yao 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists.

Then they had a little fun with each other after the game. Come with me into the locker room for the conversations I had with both of players.

"I'm just doing my job, man," Yao said. "They put a single coverage on me, so every time I catch the ball, I'm just gonna go.

"Yes, I was (surprised). I thought after the first two baskets I made, they might come to double-team or something. But I kept looking around and still there was only one man.

It was working. I think they were hoping we'd get bored throwing the ball into the paint and start to play some perimeter, playing their game. We know their game. They were weak on the inside."

So I asked him what he thought of T-Mac tonight.

"He looked dominant," said Yao. "He played with full confidence and strength. He played like you saw Tracy the last two years, playing against the Mavericks in the playoffs, against the Spurs in that last 35 seconds. He just played like that tonight."

Then the big man started laughing.

"I think Dikembe helped him with the elbow," Yao said. "It knocked him awake."

So I went to McGrady.

"He said that?" T-Mac replied with a grin and a glance across the room. "He's a jokester, our undercover jokester. I knew he was gonna say something slick."

Sometimes it helps to have an easy win and a few laughs before you head out for 8 of your next 9 on the road, starting Wednesday night in Minnesota.

No questioning... I go for Bonzi... I dont see he will play again under JVG's control. Who cares about him then...?!

Definitely V-Span turning into the next Tony Parker. Could you imagine the combination of Yao, T-mac, and Tony parker?

Second I'd say Bonzi coming back 100%, followed closely by Juwan averaging a double double every night.

That's right.

Mutombo maybe can find him in some night clubs and knock him out there.

How about Jim Gray?

If I hear one more of his Kobe related interviews or comments I might throw my TV set out the window and never watch the NBA ever again.

"So I was following Kobe around in the locker room today. After he threatened to kill me if I didn't get away from him and warned me he would have sex with my wife and NOT in those words, he informed me that he's feeling 87% today. That's a considerable upgrade from when I asked him very same question 12 hours ago and he told me 85%. So there you have it, Kobe Bryant is feeling better. Back to you guys!"

I think Bonzi would help us more, but I had to give my vote to Bob Sura. That guy epitomizes so much of what I love about basketball and I honestly think I'll shed a tear if he ever does make it back to the court.
