    Lebron was 5 for 18. He had 11 points. That has to be his worst game in a long time, and it wasn't even a back to back for the Cavs.

    LOL I second that. Basically he couldn't defend why he was being so nit-picky about the other guy's statement about Yao shooting no better than Steve (which was when Yao was 4-13 or something).

    Lebron was not a factor in the game.

    It was funny that Z man got a 3 near the end of the game.

    Boozer is great at the boards. It also helps that he never goes up for the block. Yao and Z-man consistently go for the blocks and Boozer was able to steal the boards.

    Cat played a great game. SF3 contributed signficantly by CREATING for his teammates even his shots were way off.

    Yao was 2-9 from the floor in the first half, but was able to go 5-9 in the second half. Got some very key baskets in the second half. His shots were shot in the 1st half. Made some adjustments in the second and got the better results.

    Z man and Shaq are the only two centers that can neutralize Yao in the league. At least right now. Hope that Yao is finding a way to shoot over Z man in the 2rd half.

    Z man is also a punk. He was just hacking, grabbing Yao for the whole game and he wanted to complain for his foul? AM glad to see that Cato got it to him.

    Overall, a great win for the Rocs. Coupled with the facts that Denver and Memphis both lost tonight, it sure made us feel good.:)

    I liked the interview with JJ, man hes a class act great guy. Says he comes in the gym to practice on his shot for the game, thats a guy who goes out of his way to help his team.

    Thankyou.

    Yao shot 38.9 % from the field. People (myself included) weren't happy with his shooting % tonight but Francis has been hanging around that shooting % all season long. Hell he shot 18% tonight. I like Steve's hustle and think he's an amazing athlete and has carried this team on occasion with some amazing ballplay but he only has games like that every now and again while being inconsistent the rest of them.

    Great win, but man my heart was racing hoping we wouldn't let it sleep away. We should have won a bit easier considering James had a bad game, but it is the 4th game in 5 nights, so I will let it go! Great TEAM win for the Rockets. Let's beat the Blazers on Friday!!

    Wow...now Cynthia & Jeff just called the refs out on CH51 during after-the-game talk saying that "every call made on Z, he must've actually fouled at least 4-5 times. It's ridiculous." Cat is not alone.

    Z man is now one of my most hated players. Anyone who tries to start a fight with Yao ming of all people is a low-down thug. Hell, even Shaq respects Yao enough not to try to get into a fight with him, and we all know Shaq could break Yao in half. Yao was just playing his game and Z was the one hacking and pushing, and lowering his shoulder the whole game anyway.

    That said, I can't wait to see Yao fight back against someone in the future. Any bets on if and when that will happen?

    The officials are the people neutralizing Yao right now. I really wish Yao would start doing some whining. Because he's getting clobbered in there.

    That's not what happened...

    Yao made his move, and Z fouled him. Yao's left hand fell back and hit Z in the face.
    Z just reacted to that. He thought it was on purpose. It wasn't.

    Watch the replay.

    The reason Yao didn't knock Z out was b/c his parents were there. if his parents weren't there....i think he would've decked him.

    Cat had a great game. Glad to hear his comment at the half about the refs...

    "Those refs are cool dudes!" :cool: Especially after the Bowen article.

    Zydrunas picked a fight with Ostertag a few weeks ago. He seems to be a violent-minded player.
