http://www.nba.com/games/20060214/HOULAC/boxscore.html Man is this the best game for the Rockets this year??. Whew... This was a nice win.. Six players in double figures and Bogans had 18 (4-5 from the 3). I still cant believe some people said rockets got ripped on the Baxter-Bogans trade.. Man but this was a steal for us.. Bogans is great and he got 6 rebounds... Wesley and Alston played very well. Wesley 16 points.. and Alston had 18 points and 13 assists (9 at halftime).. Wonder if Alston played all the games this season... I bet u he would've been in the top 10 in assits catergory.. Thank goodness T-Mac found his shooting touch back and scored 28 points.. Yao with good shooting (8-13).. and had 12 rebounds... Good game by Swift.. (12 points off the bench).. If everyone contribute at least 10 points off the bench..And yao and t-mac have atleast 25 points every game.. With Wesley and Alston scoring 15 every game.. We will make the playoffs easily... I want to see more games like this from the Rockets.. Wesley-- 16 points Alston-- 13 assists, 18 points T-Mac-- 28 points Howard-- 9 points Yao-- 17 points Bogans-- 18 points, 3's 4-5 Swift--12 points If everyone keeps on scoring like this, and if bogans and alston keep on shooting the 3's like this, we can beat ne team in the league... I look for the same against Suns 2morow.. we'll need it.. If alston holds nash like he did against cassell, this game could be won easier.. Alston should get atleast 10 assists and 15 points.. Yao 10 rebs and 20 points.. McGrady 25 poitns.. Wesley at least 15 points.. Swift atleast 10 points.. Howard also 1o.. and Bogans atleast 12..
Skip has shown some great leadership. He gets the ball up quick, has been shooting good, and finding open guys, and playing real good D, and been vocal on the court. Lately he's been nothing less than amazing at point. I hope he continues. I think he can be the answer to get easy baskets at the rim for Stro Once they develop some chem. TMac's offense wasn't dominated by dribbling and long shots. He got the ball in the post and made quick moves to the rim. L.Head played back up point. He didn't commit any terrible mistakes. He gets the ball up quick. I hope to see JVG play him more at point instead of ever seeing Wesley there again.
I won't say we got a steal in Bogans just yet. He hadn't been awesome in his first two games and Baxter also had a 18/11 game with us a few weeks ago. Until Bogans shows he can do stuff like what he did last night consistently, I'd say we made a good trade, but not a steal. It's always great to see role players (Wesley, Alston, Head, Howard) playing well. When they do and your stars give you even average nights, I'd say you've got a game won. It'll have to happen more often for us to make the playoffs.

But in significant minutes, he's play solid in each game. He's a good finisher and rebounder, and is a defensive 2-guard with size. Exactly what he needed.
didn't get a chance to see the game, but WOW....sounds like things went great........Bogans is sounding like he's going to be a good pick up.
The Bogans trade wasn't a steal, but it was a smart trade. With anderson going to be traded and Wesley's contract expiring, our gaurd numbers can drop. Bogans was a smart move and he can produce.
