    I guess it was Steve's competitive nature, "Yeah Juwan, I can build a brick house too!"

    If Boki scored 2 points, then he would have had his revenge!

    sorry i passed out about 2 minutes beofr ethe end, been very sick lately. far as I know, everything that comes out of his mouth is borderline b.s., so I dunno if I would believe what he says aobut his job. I just put it in my sig cuz it's the most comical statement i've ever seen anyone make

    this was a great win.

    memo to the guys complaining about Yao's touches, The Rox can't look for ihm on every single play, otherwise the rest of the team wouldn't get a chance to play the wya it did tonight. I wanna see yao get more touches also, cuz the low post game will always bring wins, but you cant do it at the expense of everyone else ont he team.

    Sura played pretty good tonight, he plays out of position and I wish that he was coming off the bench, but he's been forced to his current role cuz of injuries, and performing a lot better than expected.

    will do...when I upload the highlight video...pay attention.

    EDIT:

    OK..here it is

    Highlights vs Magic 01/24/05

    Watch carefully...

    not only do you see good passes to Yao from both guards...but you see what Sura does best...driving....you dont have to be a jumpshooting artist to be valuable to a team...you guys need to let it go...Sura doesnt hate Yao...I only saw one time tonight where I thought he passed up a good time to pass to Yao...any other times, either the play was obviously designed for someone else...or Yao didnt have good and clear position at that time.

    he isnt freakin Nash for gods sake...he is waht he is....the best PG we have.

    Maybe Steve had a bad night cause Cuttino wasn't there. Maybe the Doug Christie trade was not such a good idea for Orlando. I thought they were doing fine with Cuttino as the 2.

    the answer to your question is an emphatic "NO"
    there is no such thing as what you call a YOH. you and your buddies made that up

    please spell out more garbage for us ROCKETS fans after the biggest win of the season:rolleyes:

    Yao had a great game, but so did the team.

    thats TEAM
    T-E-A-M.

    This cannot be accurate unless you mean technically considering how the whole atlantic division is struggling now (who btw looks like where the 3rd seed in the EAST will come from).

    From the way I understand it, division winners get the top 3 seeds (home court in the first round) and the next best record get the fourth seed (final home court advantage in round 1).

    Am I wrong? If so please educate me.

    Off topic but I didn't want to start a thread just to ask a question.

    Was anyone listening to 610am a few minutes ago? Did they say that Calvin was going to be on later? If so I want make sure I catch it.

    Thanks

    as always thanks R2K for the wonderful highlights.

    totally agree with what you said and especially the last point. when people remember this then all the unrealistic expectations should just go away.

    Well it was a bit over the top.

    Steve never demanded to be traded, nor said he only gave a half hearted effort at times.

    The Tmac situation is far different than the Francis one.

    I thought Bill was being a bit of an A$$ for saying that.

    Around 2 minute mark in the 2nd quarter. I was really impressed how Rox picked apart ORL's defense. Multiple screens and picks, Barry drives frees up, beautiful over shoulder pass to Yao, finish with a easy dunk. Well executed, bravo. IWe need this more.

    Cat is a lot better player than Christie at this stage of his career.

    Horrible trade for Orlando.
