    Barrea schooled BRooks today, but Barrea is veteran in his prime. I look at Barrea and just think of what Brooks could become. I think Brooks should do the same, look at how a guy smaller than him is taking over and know that he could be even better.

    Im sure he knew that after he made his first attempt at a downcourt pass to Yao. If it was anyone else it would have been a great look though. Scola would have caught it and flushed it!

    Yeah because JJ Barea is so much better than Raymond Felton or DJ Augustin. Right?!

    You can judge by watching boxscore if you want; but i won't be taking you seriously. :D Of course you probably wouldn't care. ;)

    Also Rafer Alston sucks? Yeahhh having a 8:1 assist/turnover ratio with 3 steals does suck... plus he played 29 minutes and still had that stat line while Lowry played 14 min and has more turnover than assists with no steals and a few rebounds.


    Its your opinion that he's a better fit than Rafer for the Rockets. This game should show you that we miss Rafer's ability to handle the ball without turning it over and also his ability to defend. I watched both of them play tonight, and Rafer D was better. However you won't be able to judge that since you didn't watch Rafer play.

    Nobody's going to win a championship with Rafer Alston at the PG spot either. You know what? I'm going to make a prediction. Orlando wont win an NBA championship with Rafer Alston as their starting PG. Orlando won't win the title this year. And, unlike Houston, Orlando isn't ravaged by injuries.

    I said the same thing about Kenny Smith. Right now that guy could show you double rods of win.

    They lost an all star PG(Nelson), we lost a non all star scrub(tmac) and we even play better when he is not playing.

    Yeah - I know he's gone. I'm just trying to defend the guy. He has an above average game and people bash on him despite his numbers. Sure he didn't shoot well but he did his job as a PG. The Magic announcer loved him and said the Magic fans surely enjoy his performance.


    Magic are a contender in the East. Too bad J. Nelson is out... if not i'd probably give him the edge with Cleveland to win the whole thing. In the EAST, it basically three teams. Cleveland, Orlando, or Boston.

    Brooks is the starting PG now and the Rockets will be a better team because of it.

    what's the meaning of ROX TEAM? I am a newcomer here.
    I like lowry,and I feel he is a smart boy because he know yao need the basketball to shot,and he also know he must pass it to Yao.All from the game tonight,I consider he will be a good future in Houston,at least this season.

    Are you serious?

    DJ Augstin is a rookie that is averaging 12.6 pts and 4 assist per game with only 28 minutes. He's shooting at 42% FG and 41% 3pt... He has A TON of potential. I'd take him over Rafer, Lowry, Felton, and maybe even Aaron Brooks.

    DJ just needs more experience and he'll be a really good player one day.

    Raymond Felton is your average PG... he's not great and he's not garbage.

    JJ Barea has a lot of potential too though. Everytime I see him play - he looks like he could be something special.

    My goodness calm the hell down everyone it was one game lowry got here in a day has never practiced with this team. Rome wasnt built in a day. Lowry and brooks will be a great point combo. now all we need is rip hamilton. and by the way if the rockets dont sign artest in the offseason fire morey and some how kick les out of houston.

    That's funny , if Rafer was the one guarding him he would get all the blame

    You sound like you are Rafer's mom. Go get a subscription to "www.orlandomagiczone.com"

    Then you can start complaining to those fans when they figure out he sucks

    Lowry's defense was actually pretty good tonight. Barea just picked and popped on numerous occasions and the stars really aligned for him tonight. After watching Lowry tonight, he played intense man on man defense and for the most part shadowed his man. That's a good defender
