    Yao had a good game, but we went to him way too much.

    inspite of Yao good numbers tonight, it looks like he committed his first clutch turnover. :(

    Why do we constantly go to a rookie to the the game? We should've done what we did last game. Go to Franchise and Cat.

    I'm not trying to be critical or blaming the loss on this -- but what in the HELL was Rudy's reasoning for having Glen Rice on Latrell Sprewell down the stretch? I just don't understand that.

    Ming had the other key TO in the first overtime against the Lakers, the cross-court pass.

    But his biggest problem with regard to TO is that he is slow when he brings the ball down low. It is very easy for guards to poke it away.

    Not too bad. Guys showed they can play well on the road.

    Anyway, it's a back-to-back. Hard to win both.

    Cat coughed up the first turnover -- 3 pointer for the Knicks. Then after Yao's two turnovers, Francis committed the offensive foul - Thomas hits the jumper on the other end.

    I was disappointed that Yao got the ball swiped twice, but I loved the fact they went to him a lot more tonight, despite the loss. It shows atleast they're willing to. And Yao had two big shots late - a jumper in the lane and a spin slam past Weatherspoon for a three-point play. Yao will be fine ...

    If you think about it, Rox should be 0-2 on the road trip thus far, had it not been for a miracle comeback at Boston. Just one good fourth quarter at Boston. 7 out of 8 bad, poor-performing quarters.

    This is something I do not understand either. In the last 2 minutes, we did not make any stop.

    Was following the play by play on the internet. Late turnovers seem to have killed the Rockets, but it looks like they really lost this game in the third quarter when they didn't even show up (only 13 points).

    Though Yao made a bunch of turnovers, wasn't he also the only Rocket who was actually scoring the final minutes?

    Yao Ming was hurt that's why he TO
    He is too tall, that's why it takes time to bring it down.

    Man some of you can't make up your mind. This thread for the last month has been "Cat sucks trade him," and " We don't give Yao the ball much." Damn he had twenty two points and played his ass off. Yes he so tall that any guard can steal the ball from him but we just didn't play any defense in the end, including Yao. Cat was hot but he missed some easy layups in the second half.Steve looked scared out there so maybe he was hurting.So where are all the Cat haters now, or is it Yao bashing time.What about all the Rudy haters who want a new coach.The Roxs lost this game in the end, but now we are getting Yao the ball and he is learning.Please understand that Yao is not going to dominate this year and probably not even next year but when he does,he will carry this young team.We can beat Washington, we just need a days rest our legs just gave out tonight!!
