    This game was a pain to watch, the Rockets lacked energy for 2 1/2 quarters, thank god for Artest.

    Was SF3 even on the bench tonight?

    I am glad Head didn't play tonight. Even though Wafer shot poorly in the game, he still contributed by making plays, playing defense and bringing the passion. Head offers nothing besides shooting (he's even inconsistent at that).

    The most unheralded key to tonight's win was Luther Head staying on the bench.

    make it block of the week..........no block of the month!!!

    Great start, ugly second half, but ever greater finish!
    good game, but how about great start and just keep it that way?

    hopefully we can get Ron more rest!

    Ron is a beast. He can really put huge pressure on his man and shut the man down. Battier us still a half step slow this several games, hopefully he can come back to his 100% by All Star break.

    Houston just starts chilling every time they get a lead, good teams finish off teams.

    And once again, Yao plays better on zero or 1 day rest than when he has a few days between games.

    Yao had only 4 rebounds last game. And then responds in a back-to-back game to get 19 rebounds. Gotta love this stuff.

    Ron does need rest but he is needed for every game. Great job by him tonight.
    Let's hope that he will be fit for the next game.

    Thats true, but the lead was in the 2nd so its not like we blew a big lead going into the 4th or anything.

    I m just so glad how Tracy talked to Yao and the look in his eyes. I know the guy is eager to death wanting to play.

    The joy of this win comfort the pain that we lost yesterday, and yet, the win bring me more.

    Thx for Ron coming back and hustling for every moment.

    Credits to Big Yao for stepping up and protecting our rim by giving 24pts and 19 rebounds. A Monster under the hoop.

    Wafer's Big Block made me think he was LJ, the new king? LOL...

    Just nice to win a easten elite!

    Go Rockets!

    not sure what game you were watching. The Rockets were full of energy the 1st quarter.

    A very productive game for the big guy ! Good game for the rockets beating a tough young Atlanta team.
