    Well it's nice to see a wing that can dribble.

    Somebody asked why Dorsey was on the bench. Is he being moved? IMO, the only team that would want him would be Memphis. Maybe Morey figured a way to sign Wafer and trade him to Memphis along with Dorsey.

    The only hole I see in that theory is that Von is a free agent and any team in the league that wanted him could sign him.

    If anything thing and this theory is kinda out there. I think Morey is going to uses this time that Chase is on the shelf to see if Von can fill his role.

    Morey Knows that Chase is good enough to fill the role Von had last year.

    What Morey does not know is if Von is good enough physically and mentally to fill the role chase has now.

    If Von can fill the role of chase well. It may give Morey the sweetener he needs to unload the brian cook contract and get under the cap.

    I mean think about it if your Chirs Wallace would you rather have Chase Budinger or Von Wafer.

    The Rockets are going to have them selfs a little test run with Von to see if it is worth the risk of letting chase go.

    Thank you Clutch.

    T-Mac looked great tonight, very aggressive and his unique skill set is simply a beauty to watch. Everything looks so smooth and natural, unlike Ariza. I love how T-Mac is able to create off the dribble and find open shooters.

    T-Mac looked good out there tonight, very fluid in his offense...

    Don't believe this video guys, Tmac & Clutch are just trying to deceive us!

    Just kidding he does look really good against the Clippers, I hope it will continue to improve!

    Love his aggressiveness going to the hole.

    Still hate the long contested 2s. But he's seemed to build his game around that for several years now.

    it's only 7 minutes. i think he has gone harder in practice.

    what still irks me is that his jumping ability might take a while before it returns to his 07-08 days. he tried to dunk once when he drove in the middle but got blocked pretty easily. hopefully he gets more confidence and goes up even harder.

    I completely agree with this. All of this talk about Buddinger being Tracy's equal was getting ridiculous. I believe that Rick the Ruler is also above personal vendettas. People don't realize that Adelman probably feel some guilt because of how the rest of Webber's career played out. Mac's still our most skilled player, and I think that we should all be elated if he can be back next year on a smaller contract.

    I don't think Chase is going to be traded, Wafer is insurance until Bud gets back from his injury. We are just a little thin with T-Mac being limited in his minutes and Budinger being out for a minium of 2 weeks.

    T-mac looks good. I still don't think he can last a full season though. He is damaged goods IMO. I honestly don't want to see him leave but I don't want to see him playing 40+ minutes a game either due to his injuries.

    Something HAS to be coming wether it be Tmac being traded, Cook and Taylor being shipped, or a combination of things. DM keeps it interesting.

    I also thought this for a second but why would they trade a young wing who looks to have a good set of skills so early? Seems like this current staff would much rather stick to their projects to see what comes from them. See Joey Dorsey.

    Kindly note that it was Marcus Camby, who delivered that rejection. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of, as he is a perennial league leader in blocked field goal attempts.

    T-Mac is starting to regain form people. This is why those crying for a trade for someone else's scraps need to stop the hate and see what he can do for us. We only trade T-Mac for someone who makes us better long term, not just to get rid of him.

    I'm so glad Morey is our GM. He will never ever do some of the stupid trades people come up with on the media or in this message board.

    T-mac looked great. Send this video to Ariza so he can learn to dribble.

    It's hard not to want to keep him when he's playing like this. This is the first game in which I felt the real Tracy McGrady was playing.

    Glad to see T-Mac out there having fun. He can shoot, he can drive, he can create and he's what the Rockets have been missing.
