    This is one of the best games for Yao. His playmaking skill is much improved. I think he is MVP for this game!

    i think Yao did a good job let the game come to him....not forcing anything...that's good.

    force feeding Yao always end up in stagnant offense somehow...today's game is a good example where getting Yao the ball through movement.

    a few nice plays between yao and t-mac in the fourth quarter.

    mark jackson has a major mancrush on yao.

    Rockets need a good streak in the positive direction. I hope they can win out on the rest of this road trip

    lets say i found some links on another forum somewhere that work for me at that time if i have to wait for commercial or halftime the links will be dead by the time i posted here. a thread dedicate to mms link is a better idea.

    Was that over-and-back call on Rafer at the end somehow legit? Sometimes strange rules that I don't know about pop up, but i'm pretty sure the ball has to be advanced past halfcourt in order for it to be possible to commit a backcourt violation.

    I think it was because he was on one foot when he caught it and that foot was already in the front court. Then his left foot came down in the backcourt.

    Very nice win to get this weekend started. Lets hope they bring the hot shooting to Toronto. Odd start time on Sunday.

    Good win though the ending was slightly worrying. Luckily some did their FT practice. I was quite tense when we let the nets get several 3s at the end.

    I think people should stop constantly asking for a link, that's the most disrupting part, maybe wait for someone posts a new link during a timeout a something. Otherwise, it's fine with me.

    Good all around game. I was especially impressed by Rafer tonight. Hopefully he can keep up his good play as of late.

    Also, Yao's stamina has been nothing short of amazing. He plays a full 40 minutes almost every night now and still has energy in the 4th. It would be awesome to see him get a triple double one of these nights.

    8 boards and 4 steals

    There's more to basketball than shooting.

    Efficiency of Tmac is clutch for the win, the basketball is in his hand in most time of the game. But I don't think it is the bast game for the team. They have to do better job to beat Spurs, Mavs....

    Yes, Yao's stamina has been something. I can't believe how well he has kept up especially in the 4th. I also like how he is standing his ground when playing D and not jumping into the offensive player.
