    I'll be happy to get behind him if he's standing on the edge of a cliff.

    not the same, at the end of several minate,
    they use pietrus & c.lee as guard and rafer on the bench.
    thus, i guess s.vangudy know more rafer than j.vangundy. XD

    The Rockets would bring Rafer in the 4th quarter, while the Magic just replace him completely. It's to prevent him from choking at the end of games and doubling off Rafer.

    I hope the Magic win it all. They have a bunch of likeable guys on that team.

    Whats with the attacks on Skip? You guys act like he raped your mom, sister and dog. I know most of it is tongue in cheek comments but he tried his best, and didn't work out for either parties. Has he ever said anything bad about the city, organization, or you personally?

    I'm not saying we should all root for him, but I know I'll root for rafer because he was a rocket, and tried his best for us. It wasn't good enough for us, but he tried and kept it civilized. That's more than what I can say for some posters here.

    Why do people dislike howard?

    I understand there is a great debate between him and yao but DH12 has done nothing bad to us.

    He's actually a really good person. If the rockets got eliminated I swore I was gonna cheer for the florida team that was still there...

    Go rafer/orlando

    You are assuming JVG had a Courtney Lee, and a Pietrus.

    alston wasn't the greatest rocket ever, but i think he was a solid team guy and gave his best effort for us. i'm hoping to see him go all the way with the magic.

    I'm rooting for him. He was underrated here, a good player. We missed him in the series against the Lakers.

    rafer will have good time in magic as a backup pg.
    but if we has rafer against the lakers without yao,
    we will lose in 1-4. ^^

    Yes. Fakers are not good defense team. The unforced TO's and one-on-one plays killed Rockets in the series. That's why Rafer is so valuable to Rockets. He had very low TO and can run offense.

    but if rockets has rafer against the lakers with yao, Rockets may win in 4-1. Rafer also scored 30+ against Fakers.

    Is DH12 really a nickname he uses?

    I can't stand this type of thing. Why is that cool? I get it with Paul as CP3 is quick to type, has a good ring to it, and CP would be pretty bland. AK-47 works for obvious reasons. But KB24? DH12?

    you answered your own question.

    I personally don't dislike Howard. Keep in mind the Clutchfans population has a different mindset.
