    We hear rumours about getting some forwards and swingmen, but nothing about the point guard position. Despite Rafer's play lately (before the trade deadline might I add :D ), shouldn't we be looking for someone like a Juan Dixon or Luke Ridnour?

    The Rockets are in the position of having to trade for a point guard using guards, which probably isn't going to happen. It doesn't look to me like the Rockets are going to make any trades before tomorrow's deadline. Certainly not any big ones.

    Rafer is better than Dixon and Ridnour.

    Dixon and Ridnour are starting material, but Rafer isn't?

    I'm not sure what Rafer did to some of you for the hate. Let me ask you these questions...

    Where would this team be right now without Rafer Alston? Do you think they'd be in playoff contention?

    Do you think Aaron Brooks is honestly ready to be a NBA starting PG?

    Do you not thing there is a reason Steve Francis was shut down and that Mike James sits on the end of the bench?

    Ford has not played in a long time and I still dont hear about Dixon doing anything. And dont bring up college when the guy graduated almost 10 years ago.

    Dixon isnt a point guard. Besides, you also mentioned Rafer started playing well just before the trade deadline. He has been very good for over a month now. Its amazing how it seems half the fans here want Rafer to do horrible just so it validates what they b**** about.
