    Maxwell is probably the greatest clutch player in Rockets history. He has a ring, well 2 if you wanna be technical about it. Rafer, on the other hand, ummm was a streetball legend!

    very true..

    however, rafer couldn't even attempt some of maxwell's game winners, much less make them.

    The only problem with Rafer is his pullup 3's. He never makes them. If we could just stop him from that his 3 point percentage would be much better.

    Rafer STUNK this game, he was HORRIBLE, but late in the game, I would rather he take the 3 to put the dagger in than anyone else on the team.

    Rafer runs the offense better than anyone on the team. He passes to Yao the best as well. Many people underrate Rafer's contributions to this team. He also plays above average defense and is good for a couple steals a game. Rafer would be much better suited for a fast break style though.

    it can be frustrating watching him for 3 and half quarters taking the worse shots but he makes us all love him when he knocks down those dagger 3's, notably the wizards game and todays game. hope he keeps this up

    Geez, I said he was carrying on the spirit, not duplicating the feats.
