    i never felt so confident during a double overtime game.

    AB got some lousy calls.
    His future success is going to be figuring out the refs. Hate to say it but he should watch some Stockton footage. AB just never seems to get the calls, he needs to figure out how to milk it.

    at the end:
    Scola was great
    Yao was great
    Artest was great

    They were on the 2nd game of a back 2 back.
    What do you expect? Of course they were totally out of gas.

    Ron went to his left and had pretty good look, its just unfortunate that it didn't go in. I have no problem with...his defense has really gotten amazing lately.

    NO,RON is not the hero tonight!
    Everyone knows that if Ron had passed the ball to YAo,we would not have 2OTs!
    He always wants to be the hero,but he is not the hero!

    at the end:
    Scola was great - two times to the basket at the end
    Yao was great - just calm, and dominant
    Artest was great - to the rim and EXCELLENT EXCELLENT D
    AB with a big three to crack the game IMO

    If the rockets did not needed this game so badly, I'd prefer they lose. shouldn't be allowed to get away with bad games.

    the only laugh i got was when the ball hit scola's head...bouncing from yao's leg?

    What a win! Great performance by the team! When Prince's in-and-out 3-pointer fell in, I thought we were going to lose the game. Boy! Yao and Ron are clutch tonight! We are going to need performance like tonight in the playoffs. Give Pistons some credit tonight.

    They fought hard without AI and Rip.

    Yeh, Yao is obiviously the clutch tonight, both with offence and defence!
    Good win!!!! Yao havn't scored 30+points for a while!
    When Yao score 25+, houston won all the game!!
    Can you see that?

    This is a team without Wallace, without Hamilton, without AI. It should not be so difficult for the Rockets. Ron... what can I say... he is the typical case of the bipolar...

    Our rebounding was horrible but we still came on top. We should always go to Yao and Scola at the end of games, these guys shot high percent shots!!! Ron needs to stop being a hero and get a better shot selection than jackin up nasty shots..

    Good Win Rockets :D

    Don't hold your breath. I'm starting to believe Adelman far more stubborn than JVG ever was. I'm also starting to think that everyone who's initials are "R.A." are delusional:

    Rafer Alston: "I'm the third best player on this team. Follow my lead!"
    Ron: "LBJ is just Ron with more athletecism. Give me the ball in crunch time!"
    Rick Adelman: "Alright, time for defensive stop. Let's bench Yao and put in Hayes in there! Oh crap the second unit's blowing the game wide open, let's put the starting unit back to spice things up. I want to watch an exciting game damnit!"

    Seriously, we got RA here to become a better offensive team. We're winning games on sheer talent and awesome defense. WTF did we can JVG then? :confused:

    Yao pounding his chest after making his last clutch shot

    ok. ok. enough from the small potato.
    should have gotten the ball to yao then, even adelman was up yelling that.

    ron played great though.
