Wesley Haters: "Wesley Sucks! I don't know why JVG plays him!" JuLiO-R-: " Wesley is still trying to recover from surgery, just give him time." Wesley Haters: "No! Trade him now! He Sucks!" Hmmm It looks like I was right. Wesley is starting to hit his shots now.
wow... maybe i should be a pessimists cause i said they would choke in 3rd... they did terrific in the 3rd... this gives me an idea...
TRADE WESLEY NOW HIS STOCK HAS JUST WENT UP! HE IS WORTH SOMETHING! JK, never hated on Wesley. Bill Worall told Wesley to step up b4 the 3rd, and he did.
Tracy McGrady with a clutch layup! only .3 seconds left! Good thing because he got ripped by Kwame on the play before.
w0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000t T-Mac won it! WOW I was pissed at the steal by Kwayme Brown, but T-Mac won it THAT WAS AN AMZING FINISH IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! Left handed lay up on the drive. The ball was smacked like 3 times yet he managed to kiss it in! I love this game. DId not expect us to win this one at all, but hey we came through. Wesley 18/3/3 Head 16/6/3 Both stepped up baby. Well Deke got injured These injuries are going to hurt us down the stretch, but we don't play til Wednesday and that is against Toronto. YEAH CLUTCH CITY BABY...And they say T-Mac is not clutch.
What a great game for the Rockets. Even more impressive than the Seattle game. Playing without, let's count 'em: Sura, Alston, Barry, Anderson, Yao, and then lose Mutombo in the fourth, but they're still able to get the win. Great job by Mutombo, Wesley, and Head in this game. Mutombo's presence in the first and third quarters was huge, helping us hold the Lakers to only 14 and 15 points, respectively. Head shot 11 3-pointers, and I love it. Keep shooting, rook. I was actually impressed by Kwame Brown's play in this game. PJ wanted him to play like Rodman, and he seemed to take that to heart grabbing 5 offensive boards and making numerous hustle plays. The Kobe vs. T-Mac matchup was pretty interesting. I thought we did a good job controlling Kobe, but he had more efficient offensive game overall compared to McGrady. I was impressed by his patience, but also somewhat surprised he wasn't more aggressive in the fourth quarter.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting igotask8board:</div><div class="quote_post">I still don't understand how fatigue affects NBA players. Games are only 48 minutes long, and I have seen my high school basket ball team play back to backs with high energy and win both games. I can play BBALL 3 hours a day for 3 days straight without getting worn out. They claim it carries to the next day, but I believe its just an excuse they use if they lose. Rockets need to beat the Lakers today, and finish the road trip strong.</div> It's not necessarily the games, it's the travelling time between games. Imagine playing a late game, then flying into another time zone and landing at 2am, then waking up to play another tough game. Then do it 5 out of 6 days, after awhile it gets exhausting. I cannot believe the Lakers lost this game, especially with Yao Ming out. Losing this game is inexcusable for the Lakers.
Woooo finishing the road trip 5-1!!!!! Rockets Victory Song: My remix to Chamill's verse on drapped up remix <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Rockets Victory Song: The rockets are back, just look at the map, thought we wouldn't get in the game The Rockets sticking they're shot up in the game and bustin in that like a train T-mac hitting that mayne, look at these shots he shooting, hes fixing to Range Rocket's shot doing the body rock and my offensive block is doing the crane Now who in the hell was able to tell the world it wasn't my bang I turn up the buzzer and I'm cracking the opponent's fans, the rockets started the train The Rockets is looking like Champions mayne, just watch how they pick up the game Just show 'em your shot and pick up some games and watch how they do the same, Hold up mayne.</div> Great game by Head, Juwan, Wesley and The Mac

It's clutch city and anything could happen
wow, Brown made that nice steal, but Smush just couldnt finish the game off.. The Lakers were doing well until that 3rd Q surge by Houston. good game guys. Im just glad the Lakers are competing
i jus couldn't believe t-mac lost the ball to brown... but i guess he was more determined to win this after that... barely anyone gave proprs to juan... he was also a key factor in 3rd quarter
Well, I am happy they won and I hope this continues. As for the Wesley trade...He'll be traded at the trade deadline and their will be takers because his stock has just raised through the roof. He hustles and is an average rebounder. The reason for the trade will be to make the team younger and more athletic, but the reason not to is if we lack on defense after the trade becuaase wesley was a great defender. Wesley for a scorer, youth, and defense. Im expecting to get an expiring contract for wesley.
10-13 .500 is the present goal for the Rockets before the end of December. sounds like last year Injuries killing expectations. Rockets struggled more than half of the game. 76 points. D and and playing bad team kept them close, then TMac put it on his shoulders. He has got to be the leader of all leaders now to get this team playing as well as they can and win. It will not be easy.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">i got a question with wesleys contract... can we re-sign him next summer?</div> Yeah, he's a free agent. Why wouldn't we be able to resign him? Then again, there's at least like twenty people on this board who think he "sucks".
In actuality I don't want to see anyone traded, it's a bad thing that we've had a lot of injuries this season, but people need to keep in mind that we still haven't seen this rockets team even close to 100% this year........I mean this team can be really deep once we get Raefer,DA, and Barry back from injuries............but great game last night, Head,Wesley,Howard, and Deke all stepped it up big time fore us and shame on all those people who said that Tmac doesn't come through in the stretch
