the dunk over Yao is really cool. Nene should be proud of it cuz this should be the only one for him in his whole career. Maybe he should make a banner for it
winning formula; SheMac plays like a man Yao has 20 shots Artest coming out of the bench AB's penetration
A hater is a hater. A hater will choose to focus Yao's 6 rebounds or getting dunked by Nene despite his relatively well performance today.
Brooks really puts a lot of pressure on the defense, which Rafer doesnt really do. I think the more he plays, the more comfortable he will get with the starters and the better he will be. His lack of size is helped when playing with yao since Yao can protect the rim. Might be a blessing for rafer to take a few weeks off, we might see Aaron brooks totally blossom.
Yao Ming had a rough patch early in the game, couldn't catch passes & silly mistakes. He got out of that funk & dominated the paint! Good stuff!
Wow, what a troll. You do realize that when you spend 90 percent of your time in the lane as a player, folks are going to dunk on you a lot? Law of averages. Lots of great stuff to say about tonight's win, but I think the most important thing was our effort and our tenacity. It was great to have nearly the complete team out there, and I'm a big fan of Ron-Ron coming off the bench.

that's what we all envisioned. tracy being the all-around player, yao being the dominant inside man, and artest being the support off the bench and threat in the 4th. we can be even better than this: 1) tracy can shoot the mid-range MUCH better than this and he can explode even more when he penetrates 2) battier, tracy, and ron aren't even nearly at full health 3) rafer CAN be important depending on how much he shoots
looking at our schedule this month, i say we can have a winning streak going if we keep playing like this including Utah, New Orleans, and Cleveland. This would be a great Christmas gift if we actually play consistently. we can have our revenge against Utah..BWAHAHAHA.....GO ROCKETS!!!!
Like I said earlier, it works both ways. Rafer misses the Nuggets game and AB plays great, and we get a thread like this. Suddenly they forget how AB was struggling in the immediate stretch before this game. Even with this great game vs Nuggets, Brooks in the month of December is shooting 35.6% from the field and 30.4% from three. Alston's numbers in December are significantly better especially from three. He's shooting 47.4% from three.
to score. he really didn't handle the ball much tonight. he simply was ready on the catch to shoot. and he was extremely effective at that. i think as long as he doesn't try to be a playmaker, he'll be so good. ron, brooks, landry off the bench oh my.
I was thinking more of his defense, his grit and his intensity. He hit some big time shots last night in the fourth to seal the Rockets' victory.
