    He basically dissapeared from the Pistons game and David Wesley handled a lot of the PG duties. (doing a fairly decent job at it) Luther Head filled in occasionally to give a quick boost.

    So what's up with Rafer and does or when does Rafer officially get into JVG's doghouse?

    He isn't in the doghouse yet, he is injured.

    ^Very possible. Mo went onto the injured list and never got to hit the court again, even though he was healthy. JVG likes to tell his players they suck and arent needed by putting them on the IL. Alston should be coming back though. Or there is a trade in the making.

    Nobody is going to trade for Alston b/c the whole world knows that at this point he does not have the skills or talent to play significant minutes on an NBA team. We're stuck with another deadbeat point guard's contract. It's like the annual Rocket curse.

    Alston had a leg injury tonight according to Adam Wexler.

    If there is anyone that should be in the doghouse, it should be Juwan Howard. He along with Derek Anderson are killing the Rockets with their presence alone.

    Juwan Howard is a piece of crap and to hear Bill Walton say tonight that Howard is a critical piece to the Rockets puzzle was very surprising.

    wow, the hater thread. Don't even give Rafer a quarter of a season to get acclimated. Discount how well Juwan played last year before getting hurt, when it was all clicking. Calling Rafer a bust already? Juuuust a bit premature.. saying he couldn't be traded because he's not good enough to be on a roster? Come on guys.. don't get so lost with this bad start.
