Rockets' Rafer Alston

Rafer Alston is well aware that his play is heavily scrutinized on sports radio call-in shows and fan message boards.

Does such criticism bother him?

Not really.

"I don't really pay attention to them," Alston said. "I don't worry about that stuff."

He's more concerned with helping lead the Rockets back into the postseason.

Despite receiving little love on radio waves or fan forums, Alston has managed to ignore concerns over his streaky shooting and lead the Rockets to the fifth best record in the Western Conference.

Under his guidance, the Rockets are pushing the Utah Jazz for home court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs and could clinch a playoff spot Sunday night when they visit the Hornets in Oklahoma City. The Rockets (44-25) can book a postseason spot with a win and a Golden State loss.

Alston's primary focus is leading Rockets to playoffs
