Rafer Alston suspended 2 games
The Houston Chronicle is reporting that Rafer Alston has been suspended two games for his role in the fight Tuesday night in Phoenix.

Phoenix forward Matt Barnes got two games also, and guard Steve Nash also got a game.

Nash surprised me, but he did come in hard and get a handful of Rafer's jersey, which isn't exactly a sign of peace, love and happiness.

It's Aaron Brooks' time. I expect him and the Rockets to do well in San Antonio, but it may will be hard for the smaller Brooks against Chris Paul and the Hornets Saturday night. Paul is a monster this year, averaging 22.6 points on 55+% shooting and 11.9 assists, so it's not like Rafer was going to shut him down.
