How impressive was it to see AB get in the head of the pillar of composure that is Steve Nash? In the second half, Nash quite obviously flopped on the baseline and Aaron hit a little baby 8' jumper, causing Nash to fly off the handle and get T'd up. Something you don't see much. Another instance shortly thereafter had Nash scurrying across the court away from officials with his hand on his mouth trying not to pick up his second T.

Dorsey looked quite lost last night. I would like chalk it up to nerves, but we'll wait and see. I think with his bulk, he has potential. Conroy looked a little nervous too, but ended up panning out fine once he got into the rhythym of the game. He would be an excellent fit for the Nuggets with all that ink. I would feel better having Lowry healthy though.

If you'll bear with me I'd like to float a possible theory on the Rocket's recent struggles.
One of Adelman's biggest issues w/McGrady returning early was he didn't want Tracy to come back too soon and bounce in and out of line-up,fearing it would disrupt the team. Did his handling of McGrady cause the very thing he feared?
Pre-McGrady 13-10.
W/McGrady 4-2
McGrady in limbo 1-1.
Total before the divorce 18-13.
31 games in 62 days,19 on road,9 back-to-back.
After McGrady(to date 1-31) 7-9.
16 games in 35 days,5 on road,3 back-to-back.

When season started the team knew it was going to be them until McGrady came back. But he was practicing w/the team,so he was kinda part of the team. When he came back,there would be some adjustments,but it would be someone/something they knew.
Then came the divorce and uncertainly flowed in. Trade rumors w/new players being brought in,friends being traded and all the accompanying distractions became enough of an issue Chuck felt he had to address it.
If I'm right that the McGrady divorce and resulting uncertainty has affected the team,we should see the Rockets continue to struggle til trade deadline,then settle down and play much better.
Thanks for your time.
