Yao single handedly nailed the blazers in 1st quarter. Blazers never recovered from that. hell Yao didnt even play much in the 2nd half. What a joke. Keep it up rox!
Keep that intensity in the 2nd game!!! if we won that one, we are very likely to get a 4-0 blowout!!! GO ROCKETS!!!
Where are all the Artest Haters? This guy will be back in H-Town unlike TMac he will not be signed and traded like some here have suggested.
A Statement Game. Just embarrasing them in front of this crazy, loud, passionate crowd. Great game by everyone. Way to go.
executed the gameplan perfectly in the first half. established Yao early, exploited single coverage. got open looks shot 60% then they forgot about Yao... lucky that Portland is a young team and couldn't recover. a veteran team like the lakers, san antonio, utah or dallas would have made houston pay but that's why inexperienced Portland is the perfect matchup for the Rockets in the first round
