    since it's something he does all the time and often causes him to miss layups because he is bad when it comes to trying to spin it off the backboard, yes i do.

    It's opening night, noobs. Everyone is still rusty. Stop overreacting, geez.

    why is everyone so hyped up? the rockets are playing fine. The only reason they stopped scoring was because Head isn't as good a PG as brooks so the 2nd unit ground to a halt. Well, who would have thought it?

    I see the rockets starters getting whatever shot they want, they're just missing a few.

    A lot of teams have looked rusty the first game of the season. It'll get better.

    Well it will come. It is the 1st game, only the 1st. The problem is 2 times he went inside he scored. So he should just stop taking those jumpers, even easy and drive inside. I am sure something good is going to happen

    IMO, there is too much firepower in the 1st unit.

    I think the Rockets need more of a balance out there. When Shane comes back I would be with him starting. I like Artest off the bench because he can be the man more rather than just a spot up shooter.

    Big problem for Rox if Rox keep using Yao like this. Yao should be limited to 30 min a game!

    I think he can play pretty effective against the Lakers, Rockets, and other teams with bigs concentrated in the middle. His problem would be against teams like Utah and Golden State...at this point in his career he can be hit and miss against jump shooting smaller teams and teams who like the run with small centers.

    Do you want him for half the season? Becasue I think that would happen if he didn't try to avoid the contact.

    Tmac should start lighting O.J. up in the 2nd half

    I think, the thing is we just play like this game didn't really matter. Yes, it is only an opening night, but this is already a season. We have to put it together. We need to do it as a team. As far as now, I don't see that. I see no passion, players just don't want to play for some reason
