    that last play drawn up for Yao was probably one of the best plays I've seen Rick draw up this season... that would've been great if the shot fell.

    Obviously, Yao is tearing it up... my question - when is Artest going to find his shot?

    Artest is the main one re passing to Yao. its just the Mavs have no interior defense, which is why we match up well with them.

    Dunno, maybe because he played with Yao back when Yao first came into the league. he never has anything good to say about the Rockets.

    Poors Dampierina in foul trouble.

    Hollins doesn't exist. If Dirk is gonna guard Yao, you need Scola to do some damage.

    Goddam, Yao is in full on beast mode tonight! I love it. He always has great games against Dallas. I suspect that he's avg about 25pts against Dallas, but I don't have any #'s to back that statement up, just something I notice.

    poor scola. when the opponent has an all star PF, scola is just not effective. we need to figure out how to get him involve in the 2nd half

    Great 2nd quarter. I just hope we don't fall into the trap where the defense on Yao changes in the 2nd half and we fall apart.

    Every since Yao came to Houston, I have never seen him elevate his game during the playoffs. Well, I consider this game the "playoffs" and he is doing it. I have been waiting a long time big fellow, keep it rolling.

    Landry has been mugged several times and has had some bad bounces. Brooks is riding the pine. Lowry is the starting guard for all practical purposes. Battier has been playing some serious defense. But where is Scola? Artest is struggling but at least he is not dribble/shooting the team out of the game.

    Terry and the "second best center" in the league have three fouls each. If I were coaching I would try to foul out both of the them before the fourth quarter.
