    Hopefilly this was a growing win. I'd like to see this team continue to 'figure it out' individually and team-wise for the remaining games, and then hit the playoffs playing their best basketball and let's see how we do. That's all I can ask for for the rest of this season. Nice to see Deke out there.

    3 things we need to bring out from this game:

    1. Play smart and as a team.

    2. Be resilient and play defense.

    3. Our young guys have the potential to really develop. See Kyle Lowry and Von Wafer.

    Very impressive win considering the Rockets don't have Yao and are also on the road. This game is perfect a characterization of team basketball.

    Great win tonight. Everybody did a phenomenal job.

    Deke is an incredible player. He continues to fill in for Yao even while sitting out for basically a year.

    Von Wafer started doing things I didn't think he could do... like pass the ball. 5 assists? He has as many as Lowry and Brooks combined.

    Scola with yet another double-double. He is easily the most consistent player on the team.

    Overall a great team effort. Ron started off very bad but he finally started hitting his shots and the team got control of the game. This team has a ton of character.

    Plus, the Spurs lost tonight...

    I think it'll come around, he's not back to his old self, but the last two attempts made it look much worse than it was. They were basically low percentage attempts because they passed it to him with the shot clock expiring and a man in his face.

    You said it. EVERYONE gave their 100%. Players who didn't start off great redeemed themselves by the end. Even Hayes and Barry did an amazing job with their limited minutes.

    Gotta give credit to Adelman, too. His sticking with Artest in the third quarter when it looked like Ron would shoot us out of the game was pivotal. He showed patience and made the right rotation decisions throughout.

    A complete team effort. Man, what a game.

    Wafer was really good tonight,nice to see Lowry getting more time. Shane finally woke up from his slumber in the 2nd half and got close to the basket instead of just waiting at the 3 point line.
    We executed better tonight and won,part of playing smart and as a team.
