    FINALLY! That's the word I use to describe Walt Williams's performance against the Wizards. He scored 20 points or something and played very well overall. Finally, we got another option on offense now. Maybe we can start Walt if he continues his good shooting.

    THamm played well, and seems to be getting better every game. He got about 13 rebounds and a few points.

    Bryce Drew came to play too.

    The Rockets just did not come to play today. Maybe it was the extended X-Mas break. Bullard came out and missed all of his shots. The entire Rockets team clanged so many free throws that could have brought the Rockets within 2 or 3 points. But we missed, and the Washington lead remained at 6 or 7 points, and then they went on a run. Man, I was beginning to think Francis was actually Shaq in disguise on the foul line. And we just played some crappy defense, allowing the Wizards to score so much. We missed the shots that we usually make, played crappy defense(especially on the fastbreak), missed a ton of free throws, and made a lot of turnovers. Sometimes, we make the unnecessary pass in traffic that gets picked off, but I'm sure that we will stop doing that.

    BUT WIZARD and HAMM had unusually good games. Hopefully, they can continue, especially Wizard. We need his shooting.

    Im realllly happy that the wizard is back. Thomas played nice on the boards but man on the offense, He plays like ****. I think when hakeem comes back he shouldnt play that much. I dont think he will be around here for that long if he doesnt learn to play basketball right. Rebounds nice but the rest is crap.

    Steve Francis had a bad free throw night but the rest was excellent. He did the play of the year, MAN THAT WAS SOME THING HE DID. If anyone here missed it, watch espn tonight and i can sure bet you , You will see it.

    Bryce Drew was great today. Probably to me his best game. Not point wise but all around game. This is what i want from bryce. He came out and shot the ball really nice and played good d. And hustled alot. Great job by bryce.


    But you are right, We just didnt click together today and mitch richmond was just making everything.


    We got some work to do. But the best thing is that the wizard is back. I like to see Shandon Anderson shoot the ball more.


    CATO WAS A MONSTER TODAY.. I think 6 blocks. And all those blocks were blocks, i mean big time stuff.


    Bullard was just off. I dont think he should ever start again. He just cant start. Cant do anything besides shoot the 3 and today he couldnt do that so basically he just couldnt play if he couldnt shoot.

    WHERE THE HELL IS DEVIN GRAY? I want to know why rudy didnt play him. He is a good player and i think he can really play..But i think the rockets need to trade like 2 players for 1. Or a 3 for 1 deal. We have alot of players that want to play and it comes in the way of some players playing time.

    SHANDON HAS TO SHOOT THE BALLLLL. Im getting really mad about that. Cuttino needs to shoot less.

    WIZARD IS BACK!

    Yeah, where is Devin Gray? Rudy could have put him in in the last couple of minutes. I was hoping he'd play today. Why do you sign someone that you're not going to play?

    And I also want Shandon to shoot more. But maybe Rudy just wants Shandon to play good defense, and do all the other little things that he does. Maybe get boards and assists and playing good defense is all that Rudy expects outta him. I think that's the only possible answer. But as long as Shandon's happy, we should continue doing what we're doing. I'm just worried that shandon will end up like Pippen.

    BUT, even though we lost, I'd rather see Walt come out of his slump than us winning 1 game. Besides, he can help us win many games if he keeps up his good shooting.

    START WALT IF HE CONTINUES TO SHOOT WELL!!!

    i knew the wizard was back right after he hit his first shot. All he needed was some playing time! Hopefully he will stay consistent like this because we could use him in our SF rotation

    I was real upset with Mobley today. We isolated for him to go 1 on 1, and he just settled for the outside shot, which didn't go in. Take what is given to you!

    2Sandwiches played OK. Did good on the boards, but i think he takes it in to soft when it comes to putting the ball in the basket
