    Man, Tinsley has been killing us all night and he is left wide open for 3.

    I'm surprised Yao has gotten more of those plays where he gets to create a shot from the perimeter because everyone else including TMac is pretty much garbage from outside.

    Fans are usually emotional, but so what, that is what the word "fan" means.
    And trolls are making fun of fans.
    Anyhow, this is a forum for fans, not for trolls.

    I meant I'm surprised he hasn't gotten more shots.

    Someone needs to tell Wesley and Barry to go shoot a thousand 3 pointers in practice.

    This team just didn't bring it again this evening. shooting poorly, little energy in the first quarter, they are shooting themselves in the foot, and all the turnovers.

    Rockets need another T-Mac miracle.

    They're also playing a pretty good Indiana team. They're fundamentally sound on defense, and play great in the half-court game.

    This is the type of team the Rockets aspire to be.

    It is pretty screwed up to see the opposing team outshoot the Rockets in the Toyota Center. No homecourt advantage.

    3 ball is the story for this game. Sura is a great energy guy but he is a natural 2. Now Tinsley is just another story. Run the offense flawless as the lead guard in the half court offense.

    I think the root problem is JVG.

    I'm convinced this Rockets team is not a playoff team. There's no consistency. It's no coincidence that every team shoots the lights out vs. us. Pacers are 7-9 from 3 pt. arc. I know there's a lot of Yao bashing going on. I don't think he's a bad player, he's just not a franchise player. He is not in Jermaine O'Neal's league. Plain and simple. He can be a serviceable center on a playoff team. But to expect Hakeem-like consistency on the offensive and defensive end is just not fair to Yao. He's a good kid.

    yes, yao wasn't there in time, he should have just tried to block the shot instead of trying to take the charge.

    Foul calls always go against Yao, so it is NOT a good call!
