Yao's got an off night, but who cares? The rest of the Rockets step up big time and murder the other team. 1) Chuck Hayes throws the exact same jump hook in the paint in garbage time as he did last game and makes it. That shot looks a lot better. New things for the Chuck Wagon? 2) T-Mac goes out of his way to give Scola an emphatic hand slap. Props to Coca Scola for a 17 point game? 3) The Bull came to play and in the fourth quarter the Rockets step up. Double digit victory, again. 4) Bobby Jackson is traded in, gets thrown in the game immediately and contributes big time.
Instead of waterboarding they should just replay these ESPN commercials 24/7 at Guantanamo till the prisoners give in and fess up
Wow, Jackson looked pretty good, not what I expected. The Rockets are in a zone. There is an obvious air of confidence about them. Compared to their early season selves, well, there is no comparison. And Yao had an off night. Really impressive.
Washington, Duh? Haha. I was stoked to see all those 3's going down. Too bad chicago dunked on us like 10times in the 4th. I think 17 stragith is REALLY POSSIBLE. That would be amazing...??
I think T-Mac and Scola have a little running back-and-forth going. A few games ago, Scola made an And-1, and before he could shoot the free throw there was a timeout. As they were walking back to the bench, Scola went up to T-Mac, you could read Scola's lips saying, "You Happy? Are you happy?" as T-Mac sheepishly looked away, as if T-Mac has been riding him the whole time for being a rookie, and Scola was saying, "see, get off my nutz, I can play." I think it's because T-Mac disrespects rookies in general, but obviously Scola is proving himself and is starting to win him over, if he hasn't already.
A subpar Yao Ming and yet a good win after a tough 1st half is pretty impressive. Props to T-Mac,Jackson,Head and Scola. I didn't expect a good game from Head and I didn't think Jackson would get many points. Missed FT's were disappointing. I don't think Yao's difficulties were due to hip problems and more related to his own shortcomings tonight but I would appreciate any information related to his health. GO ROCKETS!
Oh yeah, T-Mac drives over and over again. Any coincidence that his jump shot really picks up too? And seven players in double figures. Beautiful.
Very impressed with the win. Bulls put up a good fight. We can win in so many ways now. Remember last year? Now everyone on the floor can put up 20 on a given night.
