    I was at the game, and it looked like James was frustrated...

    As long as TMAC and Yao are healthy, five wins are not miracle.
    I won't be surprised if Rockets made playoff home court advantage. We are underestimated.

    No more than his coaches and fans are frustrated with him.

    Dude's mind isn't right... he needs to go start his second career as an amateur boxer.

    If other teams expect to win, they can't take the Rockets lightly.

    Thanks clutch I agree. Criticism is one thing, but some of this division is unreasonable and lacks rational thought.

    I'm not. They have a good chemistry going over there....but it's well documented Brad Miller can't contain Yao and their jumpshooting guards may have a hard time with our clamp down defense. It will be a good game, though....

    The experience that guys like Udrih, Salmons and Garcia got while the top dogs were injured gives the Kings very solid options off the bench.

    It could be difficult to clamp down on their offense at this point with all their key players back.

    brad miller plays near the perimeter though. having yao move out that far may be a defensive liability. not to mention, he's been doing great recently.

    I agree 100% It will be a grind it out game, in my opinion, but the roll the Rox are on and the focus and the fact we can match them offensively, appears to give us the edge. And although we are not a very good home team, it is a home game.

    I had to miss this game because of studying but I can't wait for R2K's highlights. Seems like we had the old JVG lockdown D with easy layup offense centered around Yao.

    True, but i think that's where Coca-Scola (i created that) becomes HUGE for us. He has a servicable jumper and he has the size (unlike Chuck Hayes) to defend Miller should we go into a zone.

    We need to maintain defensive focus in that game.

    I really liked how Brooks was used today. Instead of having him just rely on his speed, Adelman really seems to be trying to develop him into a well-rounded point guard. His play might not be as flashy as before and he may look out of sorts at times, but this is the right way to go with Brooks. Kudos to Adelman and staff.

    Also I'm loving how much more communicative everybody seems of late, especially McGrady. The team mentality and the level of focus seem to be at a high level right now.

    The Kings are falling behind by 8 points, 90:98, with just 2 minutes remaining in the game. I hope they still have enough left to make a final push.
