    Great game by Alston. Head shot the 3-ball well, but his stupid mistakes and his bad ball control are a bit annoying.

    Great to be above .500 again finally.

    Whilst everyone gets excited about the Rafer/Head/Brooks debate, Yao is quietly going about his business. After a slow start he had a decent game tonight. He's starting to lead this team night after night and we're picking up wins without T-Mac, something we haven't done before. Major props to Yao for tonight, he was our superstar once more.

    Yao obviously didn't play with a lot energy.

    Played good game despite Yao's slow start. Great job on the boards against a pretty good rebounding team!

    Way too many turnovers by our starters. Everyone except Chuck, had 4 turnovers (Skip with 5). Good thing we were playing the Wizards. Can't have that all the time. Good game though. Nice to see tmac and francis on the bench.

    NBA TV shows the broadcasts for one of the teams, they don't have their own announcers. You can tell they're Washington announcers because they talked in specifics about Haywood's outside jumper, etc.

    The guard play was excellent. Battier, Hayes and Dikembe got off to a strong start. Scola had great energy off the bench. Yao played through a tough start. The only downside was the turnovers, but the Wizards put a lot of pressure on teams. The Rockets out-rebounded a solid rebounding ream and kept the ball moving. What a great win against a hot team!

    Yup, he is good at shooting 3pts, and I think you are right about him.

    But we just can not stop b****ing about his pass, sometimes his timing of shoot. I saw it many times, he seemed to try to follow T-mac's way of shooting: a jump 3pt shoot just in front of tough defense, even Yao was there holding a good position.

    Offense looked a little off tonight, only three players in double figures and a ton of TO's by everyone. Hopefully they can use all of the mistakes from tonight as motivation against the Knicks tomorrow night and go out fired up.

    Man, calm on tha head criticizng. Yao has had multiple 6+ turnover games this season, and tonite he had more turnovers than Head. BUt none of that matters. we got tha win, and Yao and Head are both out there playin hard to win.

    Plus we're back over .500
