    Some posters said why dont we run without Yao. No.1 who's going to run the show? No.2 can they finish. Heck everybody can run, I can run too. It's a sad fact that we have two super stars and whole bunch of scrubs that dont make other team's starting roster. It's true when Tmac was out, and it's still true when Yao's out.

    On Sports Radio 610, Bullard was saying he'd arranged with Clyde for Clyde to take the two LA games. Scheduling conflicts, I s'pose.

    No Superstar? No No, without T-mac and Yao, this team has no stars. The role players are old and bad. This really pins down on team's management. Think about it, the Spurs and Pacers are really good, they not only have superstars or stars, they also have very good role players.

    Ugly game. They're really collapsing on TMac w/o Yao out there. Fell asleep for a bit since the first quarter was so boring.

    I hope Yao comes back fast.

    Well, Alston, Sura and Barry were out, remember? The Rockets have half of a 8 men rotation hurt right now. None team will play well in this situation.

    Look, we don't have Yao, Derek Anderson, Bob Sura, Rafer Alston, or Jon Barry. Plus, T-Mac isn't 100% and Ryan Bowen only counts for .5 of a player. So, really, what do we expect? I mean, if they win, fine. But let's just say I'm not going to lose too much sleep over this one.





    Wait a minute- what am I saying? I lose sleep over every loss!!!!!!

    That's my point. They were out with Tmac when Yao had to be the man. In this league nobody can do it alone. Either it's a strong 1-2 punch or balanced attack.

    A rookie who was a <b>steal</b> at #24, as it turns out. #11 in the NBA in 3pt FG% and #12 in the NBA in 3pt FG per game is nothing to sneeze at.

    Stats from here:

    But yeah, it sucks that our roster's been injured like it has. It happens.

    Otherwise, we are looking at the Orlando Magic 2 seasons ago, check the lineup, we have the same Juwon play the PF, 40 year old play the center, and undersized guards. Of course JVG is a defensive coach who is much better than the Magic coach. Still I won't be surprised if this team can lose another 8 in a row.

    Just saw this as a Clutch Classic a moment ago:

    "Get over it. I have very good sources. Mings not coming to the Rockets. And yes Dunleavy would suit our needs better than Ming."

    That is rich. :D

    I think DA out is hurting us!

    TMAC need take over the second half, we still can make it, 11 pts not too far

    If I were the Rockets I would pass the ball to Bowen every fu*kin time and ask him to shoot it. Maybe if he misses 500 shots in the 3rd quarter alone....maybe...just maybe JVG would realize he is a liability.
