McDonald: Mason rebounds after slow start

[FromWayDowntown]

I guess the West's other teams got together and decided that there's just no reason to give a crap about one of the 15-20 best players in the game. That makes sense; you can worry all you want about Manu, but if he's healthy, there's not much that anyone's going to do to stop him from being a destructive force on the floor in some facet of the game. Why worry about what you can't change, I guess.

And *snicker* at evaluating a bench in a preseason game. *snicker* *snicker*

I see Mason as a ballhog. But it could very well be what we need.

and that's coming from a "homeboy" that just sat on yall's bench....just saying.

Truth of the matter is the rest of the league (the top tier of the west) doesn't give a crap about Manu...Houston just toyed with y'all's bench (y'all seriously have got to get a bench), despite most our team being without barry hitting jack . Don't want to sound like a , but y'all don't really scare anybody.....your backups couldn't hit the bright side of the barn during noon up.

Are you serious?? I like Yao Ming, but I never seen him getting past 2nd round. "y all" thing is funny and before Rockets really beat up everybody then u can talk all you want..but its going to be another bull talk with no evidence. Rockets look solid but dont bull before any proven result being made...its entertaining though

a Houston fan talking ? LOL what has this world come to?..

even right now, when you look at team forums, the Spurs scare teams much more than the Rockets do..every team always likes avoiding us in the playoffs for obvious reasons..Manu is a highly respected player, for obvious reasons..

Houston's 2 best players can't even stay healthy for the majority of the season..neither has ever gotten past the 1st round..Houston has a lot to prove..I wouldn't be talking after beating a team with no Duncan, Ginobili, Bowen, Finley or Thomas..

He said he was becoming more comfortable and then score 4 points. Then his presence WLL NOT make a difference...it takes some time to adjust with Spurs. HOW LONG FOOL...HOW LONG.....we just have to rely on familiar faces to win then...these newbies are unreliable, I wish Gist and Splitter were here. At least Im hoping Ian will play bettter than these bench guys
