"Team" is greater than "Individual"

LeBron had a triple double. His 5th on the season.

*Yawn*

Luis Scola had 15 points, 8 rebounds, a lot of flying hair and made all the women in Cleveland swoon. He even made all 3 of his free throws!

Holy hell, even Rafer Alston had 22 points. AND he shot over 50% from the field. But he still can't shoot free throws, so no women swoon for him.

Rockets 2, the LeBrons 0 for 2007-08.

Oh, and that's 9 in a row. One more win and Lee will be unbearable to listen to for a month!

note: Today would have been Kurt Cobain's 41st birthday. Wow. Happy b-day, Kurt!

That just happened?!?!

Rafer Alston...

17 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds. What the hell? This is like the third or fourth time he's borderline flirted with a triple double this year. Yesterday was the first time it actually meant something in the final score though. I'm still confused.

He shot 6-14 (3-7 on 3s)... which isn't special, unless your name is "Rafer Alston" - though I must say, I'm in disbelief. Rafer was....... good?

Ah, I'm not going to put too much stock in this. In a league where Chris Duhon scores 34 last night, Linas Kleiza scores over 40 a few weeks ago and where a 35 year old fat and slow center making $20M is acquired by a running team looking to cut costs - anything is possible.

Look on the bright side? The Rockets have won 5 in a row and 10 of 11. 29-20 on the season.

Go Rockets!
