    I'm surprised no one appreciated my comment on Yao's facial on Kaman...

    In any case, I'm happy when Yao plays badly and still has 19 points and 10 boards.

    strange! Yao's FT's are still good but his jumpers just don't fall.

    Every game is like this now. Against good teams, bad teams. Give heart attack to everybody.

    if you are a rockets fan then you shouldn't care...he eats up the entire cap and they have still gotten him quality players this year...if he can't get it done this year then he is just not a winner in the playoffs....i wouldn't feel sorry for him at all....

    Honestly... if its a close game in the fourth quarter, they're gonna win EVERY TIME.

    Why? They have the HORSES to out-run you just about the time most NBA games become a grind-it-out half court game.

    Hubie wasted all those years at TNT... he coulda had a championship with his coaching philosophy in today's NBA (where nobody plays defense, and nobody hustles)

    Forgettable win. But a win is a win.

    Very unimpressive double double for Yao. He is due for a bad game.

    the puppies are losing again, i really hope we don't have to play S.A, if they move up to the #2 spot then I think the rockets should drop to the 8th....i would rather play the kings then the spurs...not that the kings will be easier but I think the rockets match up better with them...

    I haven't seen Yao shoot this bad for the longest time. However, since we won the game I'm satisfied, especially if a bad game means 19/10/2. He also showed up just in time in the 4th to help out the team. Steve had a great game though. I just wish he'd show up more.

    A win is a win. It's not pretty, and there is always something we're doing poorly each game, but we're maturing to pull these games out.

    Very cool, Yao had a bad shooting night, but Steve had a good one.

    Is Cato in some trouble? He needs to play to increase his trade value.

    TD didn't play again. We can beat the TD-less Spurs 2 out of 3 times.

    If we win the 2 games against Grizz, we will catch up right away. We may want to push for it because Minny is slipping to the 3rd, and we have better chance against Minny than Spurs or Mavs.

    Hey, anyone see that it does wonders to move Stevie to 2?

    We made the run after putting SF to 2 and MJ running the point.

    IF we were to keep Stevie, Cat is either to the bench or gone.
