Rollin' Rockets

I know I haven't written much lately about the Rockets; but, that's the problem when you're a one person show trying to cover more than one hoops team.

Friday's night BIG blowout win (113 to 82) over the truly abysmal Minnesota Timberwolves was the fifth straight win for the Rockets.

The offense is running efficiently. More players are involved.

T-Mac addresses the notion the Rockets are better without him in this article by the Houston Chronicle's Jerome Solomon.

McGrady can laugh off the trade rumors; but, if the Rockets ever receive an offer from a team which would make the Rockets better, T-Mac would be gone in a heartbeat. Of course, the chances a team makes such an offer to the Rockets are fairly slim -- especially considering that T-Mac is injury prone.

Five straight wins. All this winning -- without Tracy McGrady (and Steve Francis).

No more "We want Steve" chants from Rockets fans either. It's funny what a few weeks of Aaron Brooks playing well and a few wins can do isn't it?
