In games where James doesn't have his shot on, we're 2-0. When he is scoring and shooting as much as McGrady, we're 1-2. See the correlation? I'm a fan of James but I believe he is not the type to run our team as a starter. Sura was doing a great job before he got injured, why bring him off the bench now?
Didn't get a chance to catch the game, but I listened on the radio.........I would love to stay in the 6th seed and play Seattle in the first round, I really like our chances against those guys

Sura definitely fit in well with McGrady and Yao, but coming off an injury I don't know if its a good idea to throw back into the starting lineup right away. Also, the Rockets are in a rhythm right now with James starting, and I'd like them to sustain it.
Well, if James finds his touch back and decides to take 17 shots a game, we'd start losing. I'd rather him go 2-8 from the floor and we win. If he scores big and we don't win, bench him.
Well when sura is back to his normal status, he should be our starter.........I would love James to come off the bench, because he would bring us some much needed instant offense
Nice game for Houston. I can't think of a better way this could go. We stepped up in the second half and really limited their points using tough defense and hustle. In addition to that, McGrady and Yao played tough offense and its obvious with their respective points. Also, James, Barry, and Howard each contributed some points as well as rebounds, which really helped us out a lot. I guess the way to beat Seattle is to just play tough defense rather than try to keep up with them offensively. As for the whole Sura and James issue. I think we should bench Sura and try to gradually ease him into more minutes. I'm not sure how serious the injury is, but I think we should try and let him rest to continue recovering. When his back is fine and he has played a couple of games, I think it would be smart to give him back the minutes he deserves as well as the starting job.

We may be 2-0 with James on bad shooting, but he is still starting rand we're winning right? If james just stops taking many shots, we are a powerhouse with him. Only problem is, he probably will still take his shots. In the short term, I definitely would rather Sura as our starting PG because of the energy and vibe he brings us on the floor (not too mention that win streak hahaha), but I've said it once before and I'll say it again, Sura is a natural SG and James is a natural PG. Don't get me wrong, I love Sura to death, and like I just said above, I think he should start for the rest of the season and the playoffs, but I think if James can change his mentality, he can do us wonders as our floor general. But that will take time.
