I don't think I can play in the National Games. My contract (with the Rockets) d oesn't allow me though I really want to play (in the Games).

I think I'm still not in great shape now because it's only been two games. We struggled scoring in the fourth quarter and let them back in the game. But we played pretty good defense the last couple of minutes.

If we want to beat great teams, we cannot play without Tracy. Our opponent did not play well tonight, so we could get the win. But the next game, we need Tracy -- not a little support, but a lot of support.

We still need to look forward. The way Miami will miss Shaq (O'Neal), they'll still need to play. Well, the league is not waiting for us or for Tracy to come back. We've got to hang in there. We can do better than that.

I think I could have played better.

I have Mr. Alexander's trust and the chance to play in Houston. I believe I will have a great career in Houston. I want to win a championship in Houston and playing with Tracy McGrady, I believe we can do it.
