    The Rox have been remarkably free of (outward) dissension since ol' whassisface left for Po'land. Even with all the losing and what not.

    There were some differing and disparaging opinions about how to spend the Lottery win, but nothing too bad, nothing personal.

    However, I suspect #41 is starting to roil up trouble. He seems to be calling out Coach and Star player. I hope I am wrong.

    You are. The Rockets and staff know what Rice was talking about. They
    knew what he was saying already.

    Besides, Rice needed to "let the cat out of the bag." A little controversy
    does NOT hurt, now and again.

    If they plan on winning as a TEAM, what Rice said, is right.

    Rice is a team captain. #33 was not.

    Well said. What is being overlooked by many is that what Rice said is universally accepted as being true (unless your name is Steve, Moochie or Cuttino).

    Just add a little basil. Oregano works at times. Don't forget to cover the rice, or else it won't cook evenly and will take forever.

    I think what xiki meant was that "calling out Coach" was referering
    to Rice questioning Rudy's offensive plan; like if it was Rudy that was
    telling Steve to ISO all the time.

    This was true last year. But not as much this year.

    If there is a problem "cooking", who better to handle it than the "soup commander"?

    (that is your que rockHEAD)

    Can someone give a link to these comments made by Rice? I never heard about it until reading this. Thanks.

    DC,

    From what I know, this comments were made on the radio. They may have been in the paper too, but I have not seen them there.

    the game after rice made that statement about the guards passing the ball steve dished out 9 assists.

    looks like rice new what he was doing.

    lets just hope steve keeps it up: for a PG 30pts 9ast will get people talking MVP more than 30pts and 9 rebs.

    So, you actually think that Rice was talking specifically about the
    Seattle game (which we lost), or in general?

    I think it was in general. Even though it could have been the Seattle
    game that sparked the comment.
