Rockets Defeat Wizards 103-91, etc.

I didn't catch the entire Rockets game tonight, but I did happen to see the last five minutes when we absolutely went off on Washington. Tracy McGrady shot well (and didn't take a whole lot of shots), Ron Artest shot well, and Yao Ming shot well. More importantly, Carl Landry played more minutes than Chuck Hayes...and scored 19 points. Hey, maybe if this happens more often, we won't lose to teams like the Josh Howard-less Mavericks. So that's that - good win for us.

Speaking of the Mavericks...I can't stay away from their atrocious starting lineup numbers. I've never seen anything like it. So here it is, your Mavericks starting lineup update:

Dallas
Starters
Min FG 3Pt FT Reb Ast Stl BS PF Pts
J. Kidd G 34:27 7-12 4-6 0-0 13 6 2 1 3 18
G. Green G 5:48 0-4 0-1 0-0 0 0 0 0 2 0
E. Dampier C 23:04 0-0 0-0 1-2 8 2 0 0 4 1
D. Nowitzki F 35:30 10-20 0-0 5-6 10 3 0 1 1 25
J. Singleton F 29:54 1-7 0-1 3-3 2 1 0 1 3 5

Why does Gerald Green continue to start?? He once again posted a goose-egg in the scoring column and somehow managed to pick up 2 fouls in under six minutes of playing time. But what I love the most is that three of Dallas's starters combined for a mere 6 points. It's so incredible that it garners more attention than Jason Kidd's improbable 7-12 shooting night.
