    Eh, we're right where we wanna be.

    You don't live by the shot, you die by it. Aldridge it's just going to keep shooting whether it goes in or not. We'll see what happens when the 4th qtr comes and the rim looks smaller.

    Didn't the coaching team and Yao talk about how to solve the fronting problem? I am fine with Yao not getting touches, but other players gotta make them pay for focusing their defense on Yao! God, we are just playing clueless with Yao on the court, even worse than our second unit!

    By adjusting to the fronting or second defender is a great idea. Don't always run the ball through Yao by letting others score. At the same time, Rockets can't go away from Yao either. By keeping him on the court as a decoy will not win us the game. He is our leading scorer. How can you void your leading scorer by turning him into a decoy??? Come on RA, make some adjustments in the second half or lose this game.

    Can we get Yao the freakin' ball? No patience, when he finally frees himself after getting pounded in the paint, they reverse the ball to the top of the key. wth.

    lma is playing out of his mind, hitting tough jumpers. need be more patient on offense.

    We are lucky to be down only by 2 pts. I expect RA will adjust the offensive strategy in the 2nd half. We will win!

    Yao has 5 points on 3 shots at the half.

    WHAT is wrong with this picture?

    Its ridiculous how our guards dont take their time to give Yao the ball!!!! They look once then go the other way. Also, Artest is finally being Artest with those horrible last couple shots.

    Wow so Rockets solution to fronting is ignore Yao and dont even attempt to get him the ball? They might as well sit him and play Hayes, cause the second unit was ballin.

    The offense is running OK. It's the D that's been bad. Yao hasn't been very effective himself, but overall the shooting number aren't bad.

    no doubt.. they came out and played hard.. to be only down 2 is great... tempo is still in our favor.. let's hope they can get yao the ball more in the 2nd half
