I love the way the Rockets played tonight; they came out clamped down defensively and ran away. Yes. Yes Yes. Brooks is legit. What progress he has made since last year, looks like a different player. He now appears to be superior to Alston in most aspects of the game; he is certainly better at breaking down the defense on drives and FINISHING. He has gone against some top notch PG's and come out smelling like a rose. I am very impressed. Incidently, his passing has improved remarkably. Yao is on a roll, he has recaptured his form; something he gave no promise of early on. He is playing aggressively and with confidence. Barry even made a couple of shots. I love it when the Rockets take care of business.
Bullard said Rafer would be back tomorrow and would start. I know you can make a statistical case for AB being the better 5 man unit than with Rafer. Don't agree that just because he's a rookie you shouldn't play him even if he makes the team better.
Isn't this AB's second season? Anyway I have no problem with Skip starting, however increasing AB's playing minutes seems reasonable.
Great vic, thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this game besides Scolas free throws... cant wait to see tomorrows game, I think we have the advantage, who does Delonte West guard? Probably Battier, I really wanna see Bron try to guard Mac...
I was at the game, tmac still looks a little gimpy with his knee and is definatly not playing at his highest level. i hope he brngz everythng he got against bron 2moro

I know "rookie" equal non-vet. There is a bias in favoring vets because they don't make as many mistakes.
