    So after the dismal Game 1 loss to Utah Jazz, the Rockets gathered for team practice in Toyota Centre on April 20 to prepare for Game 2.

    And Rafer Alston had passed his fitness test, and could be starting for Game 2.

    Pryuen,

    Thank you very much for the pictures. Do you have any detail about RAfer possibly playing? In Adelman's interview after this practice he said he hoped Rafer would be ready by Thursday. It's in Hilltoppers thread. Adelman is near the end of the 18 minute video.

    Well, the Utah Jazz were training on the same court from 10:00 am to 11:30 am......before the Rockets came to start their training.

    And while the media were ready to take photo and interview the players by 12:00 am they were all taken by surprised by a very big and tall player walking out from the players' corridor.

    It was Yao Ming who just finished a 3-hour work-out in the gym........still all sweating. :eek:

    The reporters cracked a joke with him and asked: Are you preparing for tomorrow's Game 2 versus Utah Jazz?

    Yao Ming quipped with a reply: "That's top secret."
