there's a ton of guards playing at a high level in this league at Houston's age. Its not an excuse, its just cause and effect.

I agree 34 is not old for someone with his type of game. Most players peak around 28-32 so 34 is not crazy. H20 had his best season as a pro 2 years ago playing with Spree and if he was healthy our team would be killer. H20 would have to do nothing but wait around the 3 point line and shoot open shots. It would make one heel of a difference. As it happens he can't play and thats just something we have to deal with.

It would've been killer in the Atlantic division. We would still lose in the first round of the playoffs. And for all those people that keep saying he would help us bust the zone, he didnt against Dallas. He only shot 2 or 3 times that entire game when Dallas played zone and killed us. No zone buster in Houston showed up.
