    Rick sends Von to the locker room

    They had some words and Rick has had enough. Wafer is already in the shower.

    This should give the "Von should play more" club something to discuss at the next meeting.

    What the heck did Wafer say to Adelman? Man, he needs to keep his composure...

    IT'S THE FREAKING PLAYOFFS, SUPER VON!

    Probably done as a Houston Rocket next year as well. What a punk. How could you get in an argument with the coach at a time like this? Very selfish.

    There was a game against Portland it looked like he was jawing at Rick after being taken out. He ain't re-signing here.

    This event is why this guy never lasted with any team. He is in his little world not playing team ball letting euro trash snake bite him and mouthing off to your coach in a post season game when u have all that baggage and scrub credentials. We must get smarter players than this. He won't get any contract with that attitude.

    I think this incident probably contributed to our multiple turnovers in that period of time. Got disrupted and lost our focus...

    But yeah, Wafer's played well, but I don't think his will fare well for his future with the Rockets. It's okay, though, because Tmac should be back or whoever we'll get for Tmac will replace Wafer. Maybe we sign or draft someone too. Good player, but I can imagine him doing something drastic, some sort of outright emotional and verbal outburst...

    Von just isn't ready for this kind of intensity. I fully expect a complete apology from him. Everybody makes mistakes. He better not do it again.

    I like Von as a player, but he absolutely deserved to get benched in Game 1. He needs to check his attitude at the door.

    Game 1? I noticed there was something up with his attitude that game.

    Can't wait to see what DDQ thinks about his hero Streetball getting thrown off the team.

    For all you folks who criticized McGrady, I hope you're here to dine on some crow. Tonight was Streetball's "team ball."

    Adleman and crew should have been able to control the situation. If can keep control Ron why not Von.

    We needed Von in the 4th and Adleman took that option from us. I'm really disappointed in the coaching tonight.
