    Story of the game: Yao is DOMINANT and kicks the asses of those Knicks. Now to make it 5 on Friday, hopefully with T-Mac back in the side.

    beautiful!!! I can never get enough of seeing Eddy Curry's face every time Yao completely owns him!! He talks waaay too much trash for a center as garbage as he is.

    25 in the first
    25 in the second
    25 in the third
    And a blazing 26 point fast finish of blurry and fury in the fourth!

    Oh yeah... and FIRST!

    On a sidenote, Charlotte is on their way to beating Boston.

    :eek: We win, but worse than last three games. We still have a lot of things to promote.
    Yao and Curry, they are not just in the same level.
    Head, you please do nothing but just standing outline and shot the ball

    Impressive performances from Rafer and Scola along with good rebounding from Hayes helped Yao out a lot for the win. I'm very concerned with our anemic 3 point shooting,a good outside shooting team can make things very difficult for us.

    Nicks Played a very good game. And Rox played much better. See the confidence exploring in the 4th quarter!

    A Better Win. Love it.

    Go Rockets, 5 in a roll!!! :)

    Yao got enough touches tonight. It is important for the other players to touch the ball and shoot as well.

    now we MUST give T-Mac as much time as possible so that he comes back 100%... this team plus an energized t-mac is scary to think about.

    Yao was great but Scola was a huge factor too. Yao would have been doubled and tripled teamed but Scola made them paid.... Better than Hayes IMO.

    very good execution and some big shots and big plays down the stretch. It took RA long enough to play Scola in the 4th quarter and he played great. Rafer also played very good again. Also nice to see T-mac on the bench again. Great win for the rox and hope to increase the streak against the T-wolves.

    great win, Yao destroyed the knicks tonight, Rafer continuing his hot shooting, and Scola coming off the bench with scoring.

    This is as easy of a schedule as we are going to get this season, hope the rockets take advantage of it.

    King Yao is standing tall on the Empire State building tonight swatting down airplanes!

    Hey you Yao haters, keep your Yao hating trash coming, I can always use a good laugh!

    And Yao 36-11-2 !!
