    From Orlando Sentinel:

    Chinese philosopher Confucius once said, "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you don't stop." Obviously, Confucius has seen Kemp in action     :p

    5 assists by Mobley in each of the last 2 games? I must be dreaming.

    Great win by the TEAM - strong defense, good rebounding and good FT shooting. Very promising! :) Griffin and Ming looked impressive. Cato's two-hand jam was sweet!

    Sour note : TO's were horrible. If Orlando would have shot a decent FG% the game would have been much closer. If you Houston would have taken care of the ball we could have beat them by 25. 3pt shooting and assist/TO ratio was pretty bad, but we won with D so that's the important thing.

    Great post! I agree with everything you said. IN fact, the unselfish play of all of the team members these past few games has totally excited me! I do believe the Rockets are one of the most brilliant/entertaining teams to watch in the NBA right now! I am excited about us right now!

    How about Ming's drive from the corner of baseline to the hole. He looked like Franchise that time. What dribble skill! Everytime, he will show you something new. This guy is beyond words to describe.

    playing a team below .500 next makes me nervous, especially when we won a nice game against a 2 winning teams. i would like to see yao put up jumpers. i think it's just a matter of his confidence. most of his jumpers go in when he's open. sabonis used to do it al the time off pick ad rolls, but roll backward and sometimes hit the three. i also want to see ming take 3's. rudy should give him like 3 coupons to shoot three's, experiment, even if he hits one that's as good as everybody else. hopefully we'll get a blowoat a yao in the first half, nachbar in the second.

    Best thing about this game to me was that Posey was able to get into TMac and make him work hard for everything. That's great to see when we haven't had anyone be able to do that with big guards or small forwards for a long time.

    Did anyone see Yao get scratched by Kemp across the back?


    Can anyone find a picture of that?

    Damned fat drugged up Kemp messing with our star prospect.

    Man what a game!!! I am sure everyone loved the way we played tonight, and this is how we should continue to play.

    i just would like to say that I really enjoyed the play from Posey today. Posey was all over Tmac and gave him some probs.

    Also its great to see the offense go straight to yao ming!! Its so simple hopefully we can stick with this game plan.

    And yes Eddie Griffen, what a game!! Blocks , points, he was doing it all tonight.

    I think everyone on the board should try to stop focusing on everything negative, and appreciate our good efforts, like this one.

    I am hoping we continue and play like this, I cant stand losing to teams with bad records, as long as we get Ming the ball we should be ok.

    I think that headband was either weighing EG down or restricting the flow of blood to his head. He shows up without it for once and has his best game of the year!

    Yeah I noticed that, maybe he needs to play without it from now on. By the way I thought it was funny as hell when bill warrell was saying the only thing he was "dunking" were donuts. Shawn Kemp man ..........

    I didnt know YAO had that type of quickness to drive to the hold like that. That was eye-opening for me to say the least. :eek:

    "Two steps, and he's at the basket," said Pat Burke, Yao's 6-11 victim. "I won't trap him in the corner anymore."

    You're an ass and a half in a basket. Mobley's been playing great D and shooting consistently well now (like he's done before and will continue to do for the most part). He's even been rebounding!

    Please pull your head out of Yao's ass.
