    That was the key. Yao was productive and getting all those stupid calls by that rookie ref really sucked.

    This team freaks you out until the final qtr. Player of the game: Carl Landry.

    I am more excited about the rookies than the win!
    Great job, Adelman for using the rookies in the 4th quarter in such a close game!

    Ok this was a very big game for us Adelman has to win the award for good coaching today he actually went with all 3 rooks with 7 minutes to go..the energy of Scola and Landry catapulted us to a victory

    but does every game have to be this ugly..every game on this streak has been ugly..Very UGLY.

    this wouldve been a blow out if reefer elston did keep throwing the ball out of bounds


    it was hard watching those fastbreaks that goes to nothing

    Lol, Mac gave himself a turnover XD.

    I loved this game. Best game of the season so far.

    Yao had one of his worse games this season (thanks partly to some really stupid refs) and yet the Rockets still pulled out the win with a huge, balence attack and good, solid defense.

    The thing I loved the most though...killer instinct. The Rockets seemed to be lacking in that, now they're REALLY closing out games. Props to Scola and Landry, they were HUGE.

    Yep.

    :D

    Our D was good but Portland was off in the 2nd half also, they just kinda lost that edge as the game wore on.

    And I'll say it again, Tmac placing that ball on the floor before running out the clock was lame and bunk. He knew what he was doing.

    I'm proud to be a Rockets fan. What a huge win, and an impressive win !

    The rookies delivered, oh man I loved it. Landry and Scola just dominated in the 4th.
    Shane and Tracy showed some good leadership and Aaron was solid.
    I really loved the effort.

    This must be the most impressive win of the season. Amazing defense, the Rockets are for real !

    IT'S TIME GO ROCKETS !

    If coach could just continue using hot players and bench those who jacked up aimless jumpers, Rox would surprise everybody during playoff time.
