    Just so its clear to everyone, RA is not playing Tracy much because he doesn't want to injure him coming off major surgery. It's NOT that he doesn't think Tracy is any good or that he'll screw up the team, hence why he didn't play him more than he said he would even after Chase went down. RA isn't the sort of guy to make knee-jerk reactions. This is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

    Why does Ric not give JT a few minutes?

    I think he doesn't believe JT can play good enough defense and isn't useful enough offensively.

    Did anyone notice that fantastic outlet pass by Hayes to Ariza in the second half? The Rockets couldn't finish the fast break, but Hayes got the rebound and flung the pass to Ariza perfectly in stride all in one motion. Chuck had two great outlet passes against the Mavs as well yesterday.

    chris webber mentioned that the doctor recommended him playing 7 mins a night. but instead he played 30 per and we all know what happened after that.
    so i guess adelman is limiting tmacs mins for the tmac's benefit.

    Its exciting to think, that we might have multiple ways to win.
    So, in the playoffs, if one thing isn't working, we might have multiple workings plans. Oh, it would be so nice.

    This.

    I don't always agree with RA (but really, who the eff am I?), but I gotta agree with this. He's a careful, crafty guy. He plots. He broods. I'm glad he's our guy.

    It's amazing that the team loses two pivotal rotation players in consecutive games and yet manage to win both. Talk about gritty.

    From the ESPN recap ...
    Silly Green, according to Solomon, EVERY team plays very hard.

    OKC must be thinking what will it take to beat the Rockets, definitely don't want to see them in the playoffs. Rockets with another gritty win, glad to see Ariza have a good shooting game. Hayes was big, scoring 13 points and grabbing 15 boards (8 offensive).

    Championship-caliber teams find ways to WIN.

    Harder to make excuses about losing, when the TEAM assumes responsibility for winning.

    No argument will be made to the contrary. Luis Scola has been the most consistent and gritty performer for the 2009-2010 season. Without hesitation, will I declare Luis Scola as the most valuable performer on this Houston Rockets squad.

    I loved that Bill was defending the Chuckwagon. :grin:

    McGrady's and Scola's expression on the bench after Ariza made his free throw after missing his other five was hilarious. HAHA
