what a relief.. the whole day I feel so good...smile all the time, and keep on telling people we are advancing to second round.. Thanks Guys....
It is first time for Yao Ming to get into second round, he used seven years to reach it. Very glad for Yao, although I think there is little possibility to win Lakers, it is truely happy today. Thinking about last two seasons, Rockets fell down at Jazz again and again, Yao proved himself by his fighting and seriousness.
Yao is my pick for series MVP. He set the tone from the first minute of the first game. Everything afterwards is about how both teams adjusted around him. He has the most impact on the series.
SBNation recap of the game I liked this recap of the game by Tom Martin, I thought it was better than the Chron's coverage. Has some nice pics as well. http://www.thedreamshake.com/2009/5/1/861154/playoff-recap-rockets-maintain?ref=yahoo
That was priceless. Really great post-game interviews. He and Yao seem to have a real camaraderie going on. "See you in the club." Hi-larious. Oh, and did I mention we're 2nd round bound?
That sucks, I am in one of his pictures. I remember when he came over and told the guys to smile for the picture (Coach and Kevin) but I cannot remember wtf he looked like.
