It will be tough to say who they can get for McGrady, but I know there was a
potential deal brewing with Detroit in the off-season, but the Rockets
turned it down. We'll see if they turn down a deal in the future from the
Pistons. -- John

I completely agree. Tommy Heinsohn is one of the worst announcers in
basketball ever. They need to put on Bill Worrell and Matt Bullard's
broadcast of Rockets games through NBA League Pass. -- John

Hey, glad to have you back. Regarding the game, I think the key to this game was the bench. Bill Simmons on his podcast (just about a must-listen with Bucher and Stein) was pointing out that the Celts have no bench. We, on the other hand, have guys like Landry, Brooks, heck, doesn't Artest count?

Yeah, I think T-Mac's days are numbered - who do you think they can get for him? I mean, you can bury him all you want (justly) but I wouldn't trade him for Marbury.

I think the two most critical plays for the Rockets to secure the win were the 3-pointer by V.Wafer ( with the assist from AB) and the clean-up basket by Yao at the 11 seconds point. To hit a three at the dying seconds of the game from a rookie was phenomenal. And Yao, with all the celtic players around him, managed to grap the rebound and put it in showed his determination. No matter what, like you, I was almost 100% certain that Houston would lose that game. So, to me, it was one of the most satisfying wins. Just hope that the team could continue with that type of emotion and energy.

I enjoyed this game very much. I would've enjoyed it better had NBA League Pass showed Rocket's Network instead of Boston's. The color commentator for the Celtics is one of the biggest homers you'll ever hear in pro basketball.
