Ron-Ron and Reggie used to be teammates.
I was so glad Ron got that T - he really didn't seem out of control when he got into that situation, but it was just all the little dirty cheap shots he took at Josh all night that ac ulated.

Lemme guess, shortly after this tripping incident is when Yao bumped J-Ho and stared him down and Artest jumped into break them up earning a non-deserved technical.
Series of events here..J-Ho held Yao at the other end. Yao throws up his arms to shake him off hitting J-Ho in the face with his elbow. At the other end, J-Ho trips him making Yao fall to the floor. I am betting that the next time down the floor, Yao purposely walks into J-Ho and stares him down while Artest jumps into get the T.
did you watch the game? those two incidents were in two different quarters.
I only came into the game in the third quarter..but seems like those two were going at it all night. Well at least I got the series of events right except for the Artest T.
No way!
Most around here may not be that familiar with the history between the Rockets and the Mavs, but this isn't the first time Josh Howard has gotten into incidents with Yao. I'll just say that for a long time, Rockets fans have been generally unanimous in their opinion that Josh Howard is a punk, and many hope that one day Yao issues him a well-deserved flagrant-2.
Last night's game only made it obvious that there is no love lost between Yao and Howard, and as far as I know, Howard is the only player that I've ever seen Yao bear a legitimate grudge against.
Good game. I'm happy with the win but it's to early to be talking . We are playing out of sync right now, on offense and defense. I am very happy with our bench this year. It seems that now we can give our starters the rest they need. The Mavs played well but they need a little more depth. It seemed like there starters tired out by the end of the game. Brooks looks like he picked up right where he left off in preseason which is excellent. Hopefully this means less Rafer( I wanted to kick my ing TV when he took that re ed floater at the end of the third quarter). I give it a C+ but we still have a lot of work to do. If we can get it clicking on both ends I don't see us being beat.
They look good (rockets) no doubt, but if you watched that game Howard was burningArtest he has great hands but his feet arent as quick as they used to be Battier gaurds Kobe better ...also if they play artest and battier together who is gaurding Pau? Do you think a team with Rafer at pg is going to wina le Adelmanis right Brooks is a key ...And yao real slow we will run him down the floor ... tmac is nice but hes no Kobe he is no manu o Pierce either when it comes to clutch play

Watched it over and over...Artest touched Howard first. Kidd pushes Artest back. Artest runs to Yao acting like he's trying to separate them.
Refs do not fall for it and T up Artest.
No offense bro but....Good game. I'm happy with the win but it's to early to be talking . We are playing out of sync right now, on offense and defense. I am very happy with our bench this year.

Rafer saved the Rockets asses by giving them a bigger cushion on the lead against the Grizz.It's also funny how you said that and have him as your avatar.
As far as the shot in the Grizz game good for him, but he should make open shots (something he doesn't do on a consistent basis). I only put him in the avatar because he's part of the team and everyone else is in my sig. I think I will be switching it back to Brooks though.No offense bro but....

Rockets have a very talented and very deep team. as soon as the Mavs season is over or they lose in the first round ill be rooting for them.Good game.

Yeah, it sucks. It looks like he didn't even work on his jumper in the off-season.As far as the shot in the Grizz game good for him, but he should make open shots (something he doesn't do on a consistent basis).

The Mavs still have all season to make a trade to get Dirk some help. There are a lot of teams going nowhere with quality pissed off players wanting to compete for a le. Cuban doesn't mind spending money so I don't see how that Nelson boy makes his job seem as confusing as rocket science.Rockets have a very talented and very deep team. as soon as the Mavs season is over or they lose in the first round ill be rooting for them.
don't even try to defend rafer, they kept leaving him open and he couldn't make them pay.
Brooks shouldn't be a starter...but he should get ALOT more minutes
lol....You Right! except these are the same brilliant minds that turned down a Howard/Artest trade straight up.
and after the Kidd trade last year they might be a little hesitant to pull the trigger anyway.
I look for Stack to be gone....his contract is valuable to a team thats looking to dump some salary
How quickly Rocket fans forget that Rafer played a key role in your teams success last year. He may not shoot the ball well, but he does a lot of good things. You will be back on his bandwagon soon.
HORSE CRAP.....
Rafer can dribble well, and play D, but the fact that our GM keeps bringing in other PGs to try to usurp him tells you all you need to know.
Rafer is garbage.....other team's know it.......I am just glad we have Brooks who can play when Rafer struggles...which is in 3/4ths of the games.
DD
To Rafer's credit he wasn't able to work on his jumpshot because he said he spent most of the offseason rehabing his injury....
Rafer's shot (and I say that loosely) will come around, even he hasn't historically been this bad. Remember the start of last season when the entire team shot well below their career averages early on (even Battier).....he'll come around.
Rafer is garbage RIGHT NOW, but over the full course of a season he is not garbage.....he is what he is, a very safe, solid, and servicable PG. Rafer and Brooks will make for a nice rotation at the 1 spot.
lol,Rockets win
rotfl@it being just another game. If Rocks lose it backs up the argument they aren't legit if they win Dallas is a turd that was going to be flushed anyhow.
exactly DD, you, me, and other rockets fans know exactly what it is about Rafer that makes us want to break our TV. Rafer at his best (last season) was a decent PG that did what players are supposed to do..HIT OPEN SHOTS.
The guy was nowhere close on his 3 pt attempts and that ugly floater still lives in my nightmares. A championship caliber team can't have a PG that just decides to show up some games and disappear completely the next.
Was it just me or did you notice the team had no sense of direction when Rafer was on the floor? It was the opposite between him and brooks last season
i dont like rafer either but his shot will come around. im hoping rafer/brooks split time equally this season.
Rafer may not like it but tough he was never supposed to be a starting PG.
