Dorsey shocks in return to Memphis

Clutch — {ts '2010-02-05 23:04:00'}

Did Joey Dorsey just break out for Rockets or was Memphis a one-game wonder? -- "Ray Lewis with a basketball." That's what Joey Dorsey, shortly after being picked by the Rockets with the 33rd pick in the 2008 draft, called himself. Unfortunately, in his first two seasons in Houston, the 6-foot-8 forward/center has looked more like Jerry Lewis with a basketball. In his rookie season, his work ethic was a huge problem. He did not take it very well that he was sent to the D-League. He saw absolute...

Despite pulling out victory, Rockets nearly robbed by some bizarre calls late -- If you've ever wondered if the NBA officiates games "differently" in the final minute, look no further than the Rockets-Mavericks game Thursday night for your evidence. The Rockets won this game, so this is not a disgruntled fan of the losing team dishing out sour grapes.

After debacle in Toronto, Rockets star is going to have to win back Houston fans -- Tracy McGrady had diehard Rockets fans at "hello" when the team acquired him from the Orlando Magic in 2004, and by the summer of 2005 he could have run for public office in the city and won by a landslide. The 6-foot-8 wing was loaded with natural scoring talent, but his high basketball IQ and innate passing ability brought together a ragtag group of teammates and won over the masses in the city. 13 points in 33 seconds.
