Who was the idiot that said he'd rather have Tracy McGrady than Ron Artest? That wasn't me, was it? It was? OK, never mind.
The Rockets won a big, big game Monday night. They won even though Yao Ming and Luis Scola fouled out, even though they missed 15 foul shots and even though Yao didn't have a great game.
They won anyway and now they've got a tiebreaker advantage over the Nuggets in a potential playoff matchup. Personally, I'd rather go to Portland, but that's just me.
Let's just say Ron Artest is one tough guy. He has taken enough all the slack and then some since Tracy McGrady went down. He has also given the Rockets a toughness they didn't have before.
There's always a certain amount of weirdness with Artest, but let's don't quibble with the details.
Shane Battier wondered recently if the Rockets didn't have too much talent on the floor early in the season. Artest deferred to McGrady too much, McGrady was never himself and the Rockets lost some games they shouldn't have lost.
Now they've got the same group for practices and games, and they're getting better by the day. Texas A&M's Josh Carter said last week he felt like his team was getting better by the possession. That's the way it feels with the Rockets at the moment.
