    Well duh. Chandler is a defensive beast. But if Yao can mentally think of Chandler as Blount, he'll have a good time.

    this miami team with wade playing and marion there, is nowhere close to the worst team in the league. you're thinking of the team that was missing both wade and shaq for part of the season.

    it is definitely a game we should win and we did by double figures.

    Oh, he'll pass the physical. It's the mental I worry about.

    Good game. We came out scorchin. I would have liked this game to be a blowout, but I'll live with this, lol. I had the choice of going to the bulls vs utah game tomorrow, but chose not to just to watch the rockets! they had better win, lol. this feels to great. the first 10 game winning streak since I've been a fan!!

    I admit I'm the first to panic when we start collapsing,got to give credit to Landry who saved the day for us. Not only can he dunk but he is a good free throw shooter too and has a decent jumper as well.
    Scola did a good job but he needs to get better from the free throw line. For those who feel we don't need Bonzi,I say keeping him would have been better and made things easier for Tracy/Battier and also would have been an insurance against Scola or Landry going down or when they have off days.
    Still no use crying over spilt milk. Let's see what Bobby Jackson can do.

    New Orleans is leading the Western Conference, just spanked Dallas, and Chris Paul might be the best player on the planet right now. It's ok to be excited about them.

    having luther playing extended minutes hurts us more then bonzi being out. i don't know if jackson is a better fit here but i expect we'll be a lot better when he's taking some of head's playing time.

    Great game by Landry. Another night with 30+ assists for Rox. That's awesome. Yao was perfect from the field - not counting the blocked shot. Good win.

    IThe Timberwolves are just as bad and the Spurs were losing to them until that shot in the last 6 seconds.

    That's unfair. Luther is a good player. He's our best shooter. This is his first game coming back from an injury.

    In half court slow down kind of game Landry isn't that useful, compared to Bonzi, who can create his own shot. Landry is just a finisher, although a great one.

    Luther makes some bad decisions with the ball, and he's a poor on-ball defender. Outside of that, I think he's become a solid player and very good perimeter shooter. Hopefully with steady minutes, the mistakes will go down.

    nah, the spurs just weren't focused. they're good enough to do that.

    we beat the heat by 12 pts and we should have spanked them by 30.

    people on this board can get out of hand at times.

    Now Rox can really make some trouble for their opponents: If they double Yao, Scola can make mid-range shoot and Landry can dunkkkkkkkkkkk! What are they going to do with that!!!! :D :D :D Now challenge for Rox is to deliver the ball to the right place at right time.

    Bonzi really hasn't created his own shot that often (or that successfully) this year. He's been a spot up jump shooter (a poor one), or a catch and finish type player off a basket cut. Occasionally, he got a post up. For the season, 66% of his made field goals were assisted.
