    in and out... in and out.. in and out.

    Also, thanks to that horrible effort to end the quarter, the Rockets are now even in the +/- with and without Yao, so forget what I said earlier.

    We'll need somebody to get hurt on the Suns to slow them down... if healthy, they'll run on all cylinders... and if they're hitting their shots, they'll be tough to beat.

    i'm not too thrilled with putting barret out there instead of barry.

    and gundy may have tried to milk this lineup with mutumbo too long.

    I am not sure if you've ever watched a hockey game, they normally play 4 lines, best against best. You might be minus but you are still the best line in your team. Yes, our bench outscored them, that doesn't mean your starting center is weak. If he doesn't play at all, Amare will have a field day. Then you can talk about +/-. Otherwise, the hottest player Amare on everyone's wet dreams, shooting less than 15% against him, it's evident enough for his impact.

    If I have 21 shot attemps,maybe I can score more than T-mac.
    How about yao has 20 shot attemps every game?

    You guys are right. JVG is saving Yao for the next game. He intentionally benched Yao so that the Suns can get a double digit lead after 3rd quarter.

    I am predicting a 20 point loss and the Rockets fans want JVG's ass.

    11 point lead for the Suns. I hope T-Mac gets hot this final quarter!

    Really when I see Jacobsen or Joe Johnson dribbling the ball..I think it's so easy to rip him go rip him. :)

    The Suns were probably tired for last night. They are a good team. But I think a team like the Rockets can beat them if we execute and play very well and make shots and all that.

    even if they hit all their 3's, but i really think we would be leading if we made half of our 3's.

    Everyone should recognize this offense. Its the Mavs offense when Nash is there. Now Phoenix doesnt have the talent of the Mavs, but they are playing well right now (a few players playing WAY OVER their head). I dont this team is a team with a deep playoff run in it. It will be a great regular season team, just like the Mavs were.

    They are unbelievable, they do this every night? Casey Jacobson 4 threes in about 6 minutes of playing time. Must be a pill that the Suns are taking to light up those 3s like that, the NBA needs to have a baseball Balco investigation. They are unreal.

    Actually they just play basketball how it's supposed to be played. That's how all the teams should be.

    If we had only made our open shots it would have much closer. Good passing and rebounding by the Suns at the end of the 3rd quarter led to easy shots. Yao showed energy while he was there. I would have liked to see Barry instead of Barrett.

    T-mac is so selfish that nobody can play well with him.

    That's the story of our season... if we hit just half of our wide open shots, we win every game.
