word of the season: DEFENSA!! great game guys. rafer played suprisingly well and so did yao. t-mac was ok, 3-4 from 3 pt but only 6-16. it will get better. ron was also great. overall, great team effort and this is how we should beat terrible teams. hope they can keep this up...GO ROCKETS!!
Everyone played well this game but I want to single out Tmac because it's the first good game Ive seen him play this season. He didn't dominate the ball and played within the offense, but the key was he didn't play passively. Once he got the ball he attacked right away or kicked it out to whoever was open and didn't look for the home-run assist. His defensive effort was nice as well. His stats don't show but I thought he played great. I'd certainly take this game over his 22-6-6 stats when he dominates the ball.
Jefferson is awesome, but I would rather have a team guy like yao who isnt going to force it which Jefferson kinda did in the fourth.
Good defensive effort by the team in the second half. Yao responded well after getting dominated by Jefferson in the 1st quarter and probably outplayed him the last 3 quarters.
I'll take Yao too. But AJ is a beast. He boosted early and has no energy left laterly. That's a bad choice for him.
yao with monterous dunks that turned the game around and landry with more sexy dunks..scola even dunked for his second of the year was worth every second..
I wish Yao could play like that, too. Dunk the ball anytime possible! Dont just do it when pissed off. He needs a mentor like Eastwood in the movie "Gran Torino"....
I think Shane and Hayes had their monents to change the tidings with their great defense efforts. Tmac actually still did the worst defense job around Rockets. But today luis's dedense is terrible.
Great effort by McGrady on defense ... I truly believe that kind of effort by him on that side of the ball makes our whole team so much better. Yao outplayed Jefferson in every facet but rebounding. He needs to refocus on that.
