Is it me or does Yao always bring his A game when the game is on national TV?? In fact, the whole Rockets team usually does.

No way Bradley could guard Yao Ming.

I agree. Yao brings his A game when he is on national TV, especially with Bill Walton on the sideline.

What a game by the big guy. I have to admit that I am spoiled. I expect to get this level of performance from him every night.

I feel sorry for Bradley. It must suck to be shown up so badly by Yao Ming especially after he talked trash about the rookie at the beginning of the season. I can't imagine what the big Mormon's confidence level must be like right now...

How come we can't take advantage when they have a 4 guard lineup?

Put either Yao or Cato on him, he will have to rely on his fadeaway or jump shots that are not reliable.

I wonder if Mark Cuban still thinks that Yao is undeserving pick for the ASG.

As a contrast to Yao, Stoudamire has "0" point, over 5 at half time tonight.

It appears Ming's wall has passed to Stoudamire now. Here come the real roy.

It looks like Dallas is going to give us the outside shot with both of their big man in foul trouble. This is one game that we could use Rice's outside shooting.

The last two games and this one seem to indicate the resurgence and revitalized Yao. Hopefully he has overcomed the Rookie Wall.

I was checking Suns-Lakers game. I saw Amare had 0 points at halftime. Looks like he just hit a Rookie Wall right now

Walton said Dirk wouldn't have such a good time racking up points in the paint had Rudy switch to zone and have Yao parolled in middle when the Marvs basically have 4 guards and Dirk on the floor.

That Van Excel is sure a ball hog. If we can keep him in the game, we will get more chance to win the game.

Boy, I'm just loving these predictions...

ZRB - "It's gonna be a blowout!"

nWo34life - "They're gonna kick the Rockets' ass!"

And big bad forum member Cmellon - "Yao's not gonna have very many shot attempts! The guards are gonna try to prove they're the best!"

This is the best ball movement I've seen in a long time...and there's no ass-kicking going on right now, except Yao kicking LaFrentz and Bradley's asses.

And now that I've said that, I can only hope the Rockets don't shove my confident words straight down my fanboy throat...
