    By the way SA IS the player a bunch of us say he is.Rudy just doesn't use him right and he doesn't get enough minutes.There was a reason everybody was pumped up to get this guy.Hopefully Rudy will draw some plays up for him now and not cut his minutes game to game....... HH

    17 points in the first half. 7 of 9 from the field, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Humm...

    Does having stevie wonder out have anything to do with this? And people were saying he has no offense.

    Go Shandon!!! You go boy!!!

    Ditto on that.

    SA, does a real good job defensively and can do it on the offense end too, if given the chance. The problem is with the thrown in into the post game with Hakeem and Barkley, will kill him. He needs some movement in the offense, and the boy will shine. With Hakeem out, Rudy will begin to see it, and I would not be surprised if Hakeems' role changes a tad when he comes back. This will hopefully turn into that run and gun type we all were counting on.

    Yeah,
    He's one of the best in the game at moving without the ball....among other things.I'd like to see Rudy post him up more.Hopefully Rudy will move Dream out to pop 10-15 footers,set high picks, and crash the boards when he comes back.

    HH,
    I love it when I'm wrong about our players. But this is the Clippers, and it's only one game. Shandon can do it, but he needs to put a few games together to show us how good he can be. Right now my line-up is:
    C: Dream/Cato
    PF: Barkley/Cato, then Thomas, then?
    SF: I give up here
    SG: Mobley for now, but it's Shandon's for the taking
    PG: Duh. Drew backs up here.

    This courtside live stuff sucks, but if I get Direct TV I'll fail out of law school. From what I can tell and imagine, Shandon is whipping ass. GO ROCKS!

    Pass 1st,I like the line up of
    Stevie
    Mobes
    Anderson
    Cato
    Dream

    with Chuck coming in early
    It's Rudy' job to get SA involved in the offense and play to his strengths.

    I have been down on SA, especially after that horrid pass last night. However, if he can play like this every night, then I will admit I was wrong.

    I like his hustle and the way he moves without the ball.

    By the way, I think with Mobley and SA in at the same time, that is a darn good defensive guard combo.

    YES! SHANDON IS GETTING HIS DUE FROM YOU GUYS NOW!

    This was not his first good game. He played good last night. Defensively, he is good every game.

    Tonight was a career high for Shandon Anderson at 27 points, all while still playing the good defense.

    I agree he moves well without the ball. I like that a lot. The Rockets have needed that for years.

    I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAYER I LIKE AND SUPPORT SHOWS US ALL WHAT HE CAN DO!

    GO SHANDON! ONE HECK OF A GAME!

    GO ROCKETS! Pay back for Phoenix Saturday!
