    These late runs the Rockets have been allowing recently are freaking me out, man. You can't let your intensity drop against these young teams.

    Sura is a only mental tough guy in ROXS! Both Yao and Tracy have talent but without killer's instinct.

    It's time for JVG to cut down T-mac's minutes.

    If we get DA for Mo, it'l be a huge steal. DA is a heck of a player.

    Refs are very friendly and Portland's players are doing every thing to lose.

    I feel bad for Mo Cheeks.

    6 in a row would be pretty sweet, any way you look at it

    Well said. Even refs can't help if you can not hit free throws.

    He tried to do that today, and in the last game (by resting him in the 1st and 4th), but the team just doesn't have good DEFENSE when he's not out there (its not neccesarily his offense that we miss).

    yeah, especially already winning six in a row (before tonight). How about 7?

    How is this Portland team's record so bad, they really do have a lot of talent?

    And you gave that honor to Yao only, despite the fact Tmac missed both. I guess Yao is just an easy target for you.

    Apparently they play a lot of close games... like today.

    I also don't think they're well coached. They seem to try to waste a lot of time freeing up guys on the perimeter for 3's, rather than playing inside-out with Randolph.

    Head cases can kill a team, regardless of the talent level.

    This is the L.A. game all over again. Huge lead wilted to nothing at home. In fact, it looked like they were going to lose down 3 with less than a minute to go. Then BOOM - they show some balls in the clutch.

    Tonight, they made it so difficult on themselves. That lead wilted fast than Enron stock, and unbelievably trailed with 2 minutes to go, then the Rockets again seized control and momentum.

    Collapses are a bad sign, but the play in the final minute or two is a very good sign.

    I don't understand why people in this board blame Yao Ming for the two missed FTs, but let everybody else in the team get away with their shortcomings.

    Didn't he make two critical free throws the other day against Lakers to win the game? People have selective memory, and only the bad misses stay in the mind. Both Yao and TMac have made more plays than they missed in this entire run.
