    A game without TMac and Artest and we get a blowout win. These don't nearly happen often enough!

    The 3s in the fisrt half was ugly. But this win is good. Hope they can win the Lakers. Damn it

    Can anyone confirm that the possibility that Artest won't play against the Lakers? We need him off the bench.

    Rockets have a better chance without Tmac. Not a big chance though.

    Great win!

    Rox: all players with + except Head who sub in the last 2 minutes.

    Knicks: all players -.

    When Rox tightened up their defense in the 3rd Q, Knicks slapped and got blown out. Five players got double shooting figures. Compared with last night's 2-point close win over Thunder, team effort and defense are much better than one-man show. Unless and until TMac is fully recovered and can play 100% defense, it's difficult for Rox winning big-margin games.

    I would like to reiterate, let TMac rest until end of February to get fully recovered, we need him to win playoff games.

    Barry got 6 rebounds?

    Damn I didn't see that many watching the game. He played little minutes.

    doctors say hes out a week because of a stress fracture in his foot or something so he won't be playing.

    Man I pretty much stopped watching after halftime.. had it playing in the background and looked at the score every now and then.

    Could some recap the second half for me? I know Rafer and Brooks went off.

    New York basically settled for outside shots in the third that resulted into alot of bricks. Houston struggled a bit but found their rhythm after a Yao lay-up and a Rafer 3. It was all Houston from there..
