    But his defense has always sucked......baby or no baby.

    Martin's 21 points, off of 8 shots, in 17 mins is ridiculous.

    No kidding. It's preseason, for crying out loud. I just hope Kyle's OK.

    And he's been hustling and playing good defense, so maybe ppl will get off his back. He's never going to be a defensive stopper, but at least he's putting in the effort.

    Rockets shoot 48% FG, 50% 3pt, and 80% FT.


    Hill had 4 stls and 3 blocks.
    Battier had 2 blks
    8 team blocks with none coming from a center is good and bad


    Patterson 5 of 8, Lee 5 of 10...nice work

    Only issue was rebounding and defending Blair. I have a feeling a 7'6 center and chuck can take care of that.

    If JHill starts out well, then tapers off, then it could mean he has stamina and strength issues and it's affecting his concentration. It could also mean he lacks knowhow in adjusting to different ways opponents play him.

    As I posted before, he needs coaches to let him play through his mistakes. Give him regular PT and give him frequent rests. Chuck Hayes, get well soon. We really need him.

    Boy, this early, guys are in and out because of injuries. Of course, if we play hard as we do, that's bound to happen. That's why we see KM holding back on his drives so far.

    Hadn't they get used to play without Yao the whole year last year? This had me worrying.

    Almost all of that you can attribute to Kevin Martin a.) being in the game early and b.) not being in the game late. We're gonna be calling him a superstar by the end of this year.

    Hill looked okay.

    All in all, we need a backup center.

    Maybe that's why we are after Varejeo?

    That's his entire MO man, and why he won't be able to full use all of his physical gifts.

    At one point during the game, Martin had 18 points and Bullard rhetorically asked "How many players do you know who can score 18 points while taking just 6 shots?"

    And this isn't even a standout game for him. Unbelievable.

    Less weight on your body less pressure on your back. Spasms are not fun to have. I have had those and besides seeing a back specialist the best thing I was advise by the doc was to lose weight and it work.

    Varejao is a PF. Also, his performance was inflated by the presence of LeBron on his team. I'd rather have Erika than him. At least hes a true center and can knock some people out.

    He had back spasms and was taken to the locker room during a timeout. It wasn't any specific play.
