Houston sitll has a long way to go

Houston Rockets win the game against Memphis Grizzles. Lucky thing. It's good but not a good test for them since Grizzles is not a over 0.5 team and not a strong postseason contender. So far Adelman's strategy is going smoothly. The most important thing is the hands of Tracy and R. Alston.

In the game these two made good shoots and I am worried about if they can always shoot like this. Mutombo is playing tough today he had 13 rebounds, a rare thing for a over 40 guy. In defense Scola did well. 5 steals is nice! Mutombo is showing his index finger again and he deserves applause. McGrady even helped the defense, which is seldom seen in previous games. Scola, the so-called "Argentina Oscar winner", is good at showing his ACTing performance when he defends.

In offense Carl Landry is doing better and better. He is going to become a shining star some day, which is believed by many people. Head is actually underestimated when outshined by Yao and Tracy's light. He is a good 3 point shooter and makes nice breakthroughs when it's deadlock. Battier is the leader in locker room and a reliable guy facing or not facing the basket.

Rockets will face test when they meet Maverics, Spurs or Suns. Don't forget Jazz and Warriors !!!! still a long way to go.
