Houston's Alston Pushes Toward Game 3 Return
Published 4/23/2008 at NBA.com: News
In the HOUSTON CHRONICLE, Michael Murphy writes "coach Rockets fans have found the first two games of the first-round Western Conference series against the Utah Jazz hard to watch, imagine how the view has been for Rafer Alston. As the Rockets prepare for Thursday's Game 3 at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Alston thinks there's a good chance he'll finally be on the court passing the ball rather than on the bench passing time. I'm pushing hard,' Alston said of his rehab work. I'm closer than I was two days ago. I'm doing things that I would have to do slash, cut, being able to slide. Right now I'm pushing for Game 3.''

Arenas and McGrady went a combined 9-32 from the field Monday, with both leaving their teammates high and dry in the second half. Their seasons will end in a few days and they will have made approximately $31 million on the season between them ($11,946,667 for Arenas and $19,014,187 for McGrady). Next year their salaries will be even higher. There’s simply no way these two are worth it.The Worst 2008 NBA Playoffs Preview
