    If this is your attempt to be a smart azz, it's very poor.

    If this is your true opinion, you are beyond words. :confused:

    Starting Scola is the reason for our Success. He makes the entire team play better out there. So much more balance on offense.

    Starting Scola and getting Tmac back healthy has made a HUGE difference.

    Scola is good on D, but excellent on O....which is a major improvement for this team.

    Haven't seen the game but looks like a great victory and nothing to complain about so stop it already. I have read like 10 pages and all people do is talk about YOF, TOF and all kinds of nonsense. Be happy with a win, we're almost 8th seed and currently have the best streak in the West and 2nd best in the league (beinh Pistons with 7 wins). The Rockets are definetly among the hottest teams around now, regardless of the record. It's about what they're doing now which is playing accoring to RA's system. We're scoring more points over the last few games and are more effective keeping the opposing numbers down so still great defense !!

    Keep it up, let's go for 10 wins !!

    The streak started against the Spurs, and T-Mac did not play in that game.

    Two blowouts in a row. Even against weaker teams, it builds a ton of confidence. Would you be more confident going into Phoenix after blowing out bad teams or narrowly beating them?

    I know it's cliche, but I think these guys are finally coming around to 'playing to win' versus 'playing not to lose'. There really is a big difference. Winning is contagious too.

    nah dude . .

    yeah, true that ^ . . if TMAC didn't play in that game we wouldn't have won, because that game was til like the last crucial seconds, and if it wasn't for TMAC's clutch passin abilities, rafer wouldn't have made that clutch 3 we needed, and that pretty much sealed the deal.

    seriously people, think before you post, and have your facts straight . .

    Huge exaggeration. Tmac did not play much that game, nor did he contribute a whole lot. If he's not there, it gives other players a chance to step up.

    he played 28 mins, and most of the 4th quarter. when he sat down for a brief stretch around the 5 min mark, the team lost the lead from 8 to 2 pts. tmac came back and we increased the lead again.

    we have executed well in the 4th in every game since tmac has returned. that's a huge difference from before (with or without tmac)

    is it me or does yao look a step slower than last season pre-injury? Hes effecient as always but looks a little slower...he doesnt seem to get to the basket with as much quickness as he did pre injury last year...what that means is hes not taking it strong to opponents as much as last year... so instead of dunking more often, he has to settle for more layups :(

    Yao has really been dunking more this season that last season. Yao is dunking almost twice as much this season.
