    Where's Clutch? Didn't he say that he'd ban these opposing team trolls right away?

    Um, what's wrong with the Rockets?

    What's going on? Why is this happening? I thought we had a good team?

    We have a good team. It is called 1 game. We still can come back.

    This is horrible basketball. You've got 300 million people watching in China and Francis has put them all to sleep. What is Francis trying to prove? Pass the dam the ball and run the offense.

    What the hell are you talking about? He is 11-22 with 31 points. HE IS THE OFFENSE. ARE YOU BRAIN DEAD? WITHOUT HIM WE WOULD BE DOWN BY 50!

    The offense has been so very predictable. I don't know why Indiana is even bothering guarding anyone else on the court besides Steve and Cuttino since those are the only 2 doing any shooting. Shot selection has sucked too. How many contested 20 foot jumpers has Steve and Cat taken tonight?

    It just doesn't seem like anyone is able to get into the flow of the game with Steve and Cuttino dominating the ball so much.

    Since Steve is keeping us in the game, Someone call Rudy and tell him to sit the other 4 players and let Steve play by himself.

    Damn...first game and I'm already tired of seeing Moochie. Dribble, dribble, dribble, guard no one in particular, be abused on both sides. I'd much rather see Boki out there.

    Tonight's offense looks very much like last years'. It looks like they threw everything they worked on this entire preseason into the trash can.

    Maybe I just don't get it...Indiana puts 6-7 235 lb. Ron Artest, and 6-9 athletic phreak Al Harrington on the wings, and we go with 6-3 and 6-4 guards small ball, and be absolutely physically abused.

    We're getting crushed on the offensive boards, and it's not entirely the big mens' fault. There has been WAY too much penetration and too many Indiana bodies around their basket, getting us into foul trouble and making us play tentatively.

    It's pretty sad when you can say the only guy who has really played well is Kelvin Cato.

    Time to be prepared for all the sportswriters calling Ming a bust.

    one on one play leaves the rest of the team stagnant and cold. When we have two players who control the ball over 90% of the time the rest of the teams shooting percentages suffer. Its very difficult to get in any kind of flow or rhythm when your forced to one side of the court and turned into a standing spectator.

    You are r****ded. Steve is shooting 48% from the field, and has 35, and you are blaming it on him. Get a life man.

    If we had Rice and Thomas we would've beaten you. Griffen would've been benched.

    That's the problem fool!! He is doing all by himself he ain't even looking to pass. Did we win the game? No!!!! What good is it if he scored 31 pts. This team is not going to get better like that.

    Dear God, Please find the Rockets a real pt. guard.
