    It didn't take long for the wheels to come off the Rafer bangwagon. Attemps at vocal leadership mean nothing if you can't back them up with actions. See my signature for my thoughts on Rafer.

    When a point guard on this team shoots good, this team has a great chance of winning. Simple as that. Seems the Rockets gotta have like a .850 winning percentage when PGs make half or more of their shots.

    Brooks and Rafer lost this game for us, forget McGrady and the last shot

    Yeah early on in the game Rafer made some bad passes when they were actually running the offense like it should be ran. I'm thinking to myself you complained about it not being ran and then you screw it up early wnen it is.

    One thing I have noticed is he isn't doing that pull up J as much which is a good sign. Rafer wasn't good today but he wasnt horrible.

    LOL I feel like its oregon trail and the game stops to tell you "An axel on your wagon has broken"

    "Rafer Alston has Bricks syndrome"
    "Bob Sura has fainted"

    Does anyone else get the feeling that our PGs are just going to take turns being in terrible shooting slumps from here on out?

    When was the last time both our PGs had a good shooting game?

    Everybody knows Rafer strings together a few good games that are surrounded by the usual terrible Rafer for most of the season. You might be able to beat the Bulls with your starting pg going 1-7 or whatever, but that won't cut it against elite competition in the playoffs.
