    I think that Yao-going-after-howard play fired everyone up

    Mike James has the ugliest 13 points on 5-8 shooting I've ever seen.

    Does it seem to anyone else like he's 2-12 or something?

    Barkley: "Yao Ming has given them nothing. He doesn't play aggressive."

    That's harsh, but true.

    If the Rockets could take care of the basketball, they'd be up a lot more. But what's good is that Finley isn't killing us(the Mavs are almost assured victory when he does), and Yao has barely done a thing so far. Milk him in the 3rd quarter and let T-Mac finish them off in the 4th.

    Both Yao and Dirk getting flack from TNT, and neither one deserved it. It looks like they scripted it with 8 minutes left in the first half (which they probably did).

    They would have been better off simply talking only about T-mac's end to that half.

    That felt good. That had to feel good. To get a 10 point lead..knowing we have to win this game.

    It's definitely not over though. If we can start 3rd quarter and build up a lead..man it'll bel ike Games 1 and 2. Games 3 and 4j ust unfortunately couldn't win.
    we can win this one. :)

    Tmac MVP. Yao Mike James Bowen Padgett Barry Mutombo Wesley...they are all great guys..i just wish all of them were on fire.

    Seriously if we can ...try to get STackhouse and Terry here.

    Jason Terry with Mike James backing him up HELL YEAH. impossible though.
    Stackhouse with Tmac? Padgett and Bowen backups. Wesley and Barry.

    YAO!!!!!

    Our scorers are Tmac, Yao, and Mike James. The rest need to move around and cut and try to get open and get ready to knock down open shots. This season we've played pretty well..just wish we could have an even more potent offense..like 120 points per game. :)

    Come on yo, leave the guy alone. He's just saying, it feels like the ball is going in even before Terry's shot hits the net. He has been red hot this series.

    The Rockets are winning despite playing reckless, sloppy basketball. I appreciate the energy, but Jesus ... don't forget the fundamentals. They should be up by 15 @ least.

    We can't play that sloppy in the second half & still win. No way.

    Yao plays like a girl. He's not consistently aggressive. Thus, this is the difference between him and Shaq, no mean streak.

    Man that had nothing to do with it. It was Mike James single-handedly cutting the lead and then the incredible T-Mac 3's at the end.

    JVG needs to tell James "give up the ball to Tmac when he is hot, especially at the end of a quarter".

    That may have applied to other games... but not this one. If you based Yao's "aggressiveness" simply on this game, you'd be thinking you were getting a shot-blocking, trash-talking, no-sh** taking dynamo who is 7'6.
