    Yao is really nervous. But I can see that he will be good, he so fluidly.

    P.S Steve Goodrich is better than Collier. No joke.

    Oscar Torres babyyyyyyyy. 4-4, 9 pts. in 12 mins.
    He's our back-up 2 guard!

    Torres is making a good case for a contract. Most likely, he'll get a non-guaranteed one until TMo and Mooch come back. Nachbar looks like a total bust.

    that offensive foul on ming was nonsense. and even if it was a legit foul, this is preseason -- let the guy play. :mad:

    People forget, Ming is doing this after only 2 days of practice. Once he gets this out of his system and now has played a game he should be looser and smarter. The Spurs are sending waves of players at him already, Cat and Francis are going to destroy teams if they pull that stunt during the season.

    Aside from Duncan, the Spurs are an amazing offensive team. They're shooting 8-32 or .250 in FG.

    And are my eyes decieving me or is Mo Taylor leading the Rocks in boards???

    I know we all want to see Yao play, but I'm glad that the refs are giving Yao the rookie treatment now, before the games count. Hopefully he can get a crash course in the officials' methods in the next two games.

    Is it me or do the rockets not look very fluent(every game) but they just seem to win every quarter.

    check your connection, mine's fine.
    Also, go here to see a LIVE scoreboard, unlike the radio, which is two minutes behind.

    Could it be that Bostjan Nachbar is going to be the next Dave Jamerson? (shudder)

    I hope it's just that Boki is having a hard time with playing in a new league and such.

    Guys, he's still not 100% from the Hernia operation either, give the guy a break. You can't criticize the guy after a few preseason games :rolleyes:

    He just got stuffed by Robinson. Why did he cradle the ball so low when bringing it up?

    He seems to be a little out of place when he tries to rebound.

    Its the guys first game and first taste of NBA style of play. Give the guys shooting style and percentage a break.
