<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">McGrady had only eight points and appeared to aggravate his troublesome back late in the first half. McGrady, who missed seven games last month with back spasms, was fouled on a drive by Brian Cook in the final minute of the half and winced in pain as he walked to the free-throw line. He missed both shots and had only six points at the break, though he also had six assists. He hit just 4-of-16 shots tonight, but at least returned to play the second half before shutting it down with more than 10 minutes left in the game. </div> Not again.

He was even joking and laughing at the bench in the final miniutes of the game. His shots were'nt just falling tonight but he did involved his teammates to make up for his shortcomings.
Impressive win by the Rockets, Mutombo was ridiculous. Brian Cook has been awful in the last two Laker games. I was hoping he'd get benched tonight after halfassing last night and then talking back to PJax during a timeout. Instead he got the start, and Juwan Howard scored at will against him. The Lakers had nothing left after halftime and Houston's defense and offensive rebounding closed the door on LA. Until the Lakers take some pride on defense they won't be considered an elite team.
Also, I am getting worried about tmac's back now. The guy can get his back injured any game now for like 2 months. Every game he plays, its like a chance he might mess up his back. With all the treatment and stuff he's getting why can't his back be good? Its like every game he plays you just have a feeling he might go down for some months. Let's just hope his back gets fine and he just plays good. If he needs to settle for the jumpers and not get injured rather than driving in and getting injured, I'd rather have him shoot the ball instead. Friggin tmac back problems. I hate them now. Tmac needs some more treatment for that back man.

It's sad, but that's the reality. He can still be a great player.

Great win!! I promise you guys, aslong as Yao's here Mutumbo should be here. He's the best backup in the league in my eyes. He plays like that everytime he's inserted. The difference is he's gettin more playin time. I can't began to imagine where'd we be without Mutumbo. Overrall good game by everybody!!! Howard played tremendous, our bench came thru. But Head's dunk was CRAZY. My homie told me he had hops in college, but i was like "Yeaaaa riiiight". Boy was I wrong
