    I said the same thing earlier. Kudos to the ref's not calling those fouls when Yao keeps his hands straight up. He's doing exactly what he is suppose to and the refs to this point and not letting the crowd dictate how they officiate.

    Holy ****, what a ball game. Both teams play well and we are up by 10 lol

    Currently it's a death match between Yao and Roy.

    GO GO GO

    Yao is letting them score, notice everytime a blazer takes it in they all try to jump into yao, Yao just leans back to avoid the contact and doesn't really contest the shots, unfortunately that has given portland like 3 easy shots......very early on roy tried to lean in and the refs didnt call it, but since Yao has kept leaning back, so im not certain t he refs would call it......but guess what, Deke isn't leaning back!!

    if the refs don't give 2 offesive fouls in the 1st half, Rockets win tonight by blowout. If the refs decide to help the blazers out, Houston loses a close game.

    The Blazers have the playoff jitters. Houston on the other hand are a very experienced (first-round) playoff team.

    Yao is off to an exceptional start, just like versus the Mavs....lets hope it doesn't end in the same way as well.

    Seriously, with Yao being MONEY everytime the ball is in his hands, why aren't the Rockets trying everything to beat fronting and get Yao Ming the ball? If this team can counter fronting the benefit they receive will be HUGE. If this team can get Yao the ball even if he's being fronted then this team is unstoppable and Yao can go for 40+ points every game.


    DEKE comes in! Adelman was saving him for the playoffs. This is a great sign.

    Ad needs to rest Yao more. If he is tired, he is easy to defend.
