Just as we thought he is going to pass, cut and dish the ball, he is starting his old habit, thinking he is a POINT guard, which means PG has to score points, ALSTON, scoring is not your 1st priority, setting up your team mate and make they scored easy point is your JOB, that is what a point guard does.

Good or great point guard, never shoot a single shots, unless his team mates are totally shut down, or clock is running down, or you get a high % zone and wide open, we all know that you can not shoot, so stop shooting and give those scoring job to Yao, TMac, Scola, Landry, brooks and Wells. When can you learn how to play the game by giving up your poor shooting skill to other high % team mates?

And TMac, try to shoot 10 shots per game, the more you pass, the better chanve Rox is going to win, stop trying to be a hero, you are not, your team mates can win the game without you jacking up 20 ill-advised shots, look at your %, 3-12, 4-18, 5-22, this is not a productive status.

LEARN TO SHARE the ball, otherwise, you will stay at home and watch playoffs just like us.

Tom, thanks for the article. This author really lit into McGrady, similar to what I had done. — John

Yes, Battier is a champ, imho the MVP of the team. Again, not the best player on the team, Yao is…

Let the good times roll!

I do think you overstate Brooks’ contributions to this game. Frankly, he has been nonexistent these past few weeks, and has had little to do with the winning streak. This streak is much more about the play of Scola, Bonzi, Alston, and Battier. They are the key contributors who weren’t doing anything early on, and who have come in to really help.

I think that the biggest positive to take away from this is that on any given night, it is not the same person who is stepping up. One night its Bonzi, another its Shane, another, and more frequently, its Alston. You have to love that, bc the Rox strongest point is their bench. We have a lot of players to throw at people.

I also like that Adelman has settled into a rotation. It is clear who is going to play now, and while we aren’t going to win anything big, we all have to remember that it took Sac town three years to get good under Adelman. He has us rolling along in one half of a year? I will take that anyday.

It is sad that we aren’t in the East though. There we would be championship contenders every single year.

Only though Brooks scored 5 points, his insertion into the game came at the right time to get them out of their scoring funk. But clearly, Scola and Bonzi’s impact off the bench was much stronger. I do love the diversity on the bench as you mentioned. That is the biggest difference this year compared to previous years. I just wish Adelman had figured that out earlier when everyone knew Scola and Brooks were the real deal — if he had, the Rockets might be 37-14 and wouldn’t be fighting for their playoff lives. — John

I think the diehard fans are tired of ‘fool’s gold’ where games are won in the regular season, but the way they win won’t hold up in the playoffs. It has been 10 years since the Rockets have won a playoff series, so they want this current roster to have a style of play that will finally win them a playoff series or two. — John
