And for this one, perhaps they can thank Rafer Alston. Houston's point guard made some comments about New Orleans forward David West during TNT's broadcast of the Rockets-Celtics game on Tuesday night while defending the perception that his team had been feasting on injured opponents. Let's just say the Hornets noticed."We beat New Orleans and people say they were without David West," said Alston. "Well David West isn't a superstar. He may be a star to their team, but he's not a superstar like Yao Ming."Yo, Rafe -- might want to check the upcoming schedule before you go there. Alston's comments came less than 24 hours before the Rockets were due to visit New Orleans, and provided any additional motivation the Hornets might have needed.West suited up for the Hornets this time -- his first game back from an ankle sprain -- and had 23 points and 11 boards to help lead the way to victory."He really was looking forward to this game," said Hornets coach Byron Scott. "No matter what Rafer Alston thinks, I think David proved his point as well."Chris Paul, who again was calmly magnificent with 21 points, 10 assists and five steals, had even more to say on that front."Tracy McGrady is a great player. If I was Rafer Alston I'd probably ride his coattails too."Ouch."I feel like you can make a statement with the way you play. But some guys like Rafer Alston like to run their mouth … that just added fuel to our fire tonight. D-West, that's my guy. For him to say he's not a star, I mean let's see what All-Star Game [Alston]'s played in."Oof."He had a tough time out there trying to stay in front of me, and that was the plan."Please, Hammer, don't …"When you got somebody like Rafer Alston who thinks they're a lot better than they really are, you gotta test them."Yikes.

Lol I love it.
Fuck him. I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I wish we had Smush Parker for that Houston game. Dude always used to torch Alston.
