    He is right. We are wtaching the same game. Our second quarter could have been better.

    Her voice reminds of that woman that went ghetto on Scott Pollard on NBA TV, what is her name again ? ;)
    Seriously, she is really annoying and again doesn't know what she's talking about.

    By the way, did anybody catch the reaction of Deke on Yao after he took the charge ? He was freaking pissed and I'm sure he was saying something with Yao needing to block shot :)

    Hope we get to see more of Deke in the 2nd half and please feed Yao, he's hungry and wants a new career high

    This is a great half. before we get carried away i think the rockets need to work on defending Roy off the screen during halftime. Ron is not able to keep up apparently so he needs to change his strategy. The problem i am seeing is that Roy is going left b/c Battier and Artest push him that way..so he runs ino Yao Ming but Yao is reluctant to defend him b/c he has those two fouls.

    I don't think our starting 5 could of played any better that first half on offense. Ron Artest this is how you should be playing every game... great half, his only shots that looked bad were ones with the clock running out. Please don't bring the usual collapse!

    If the NBA makes that slow-motion, black & white "Where Will Amazing Happen This Year" promo of that Brooks shot to end the half next yet, Aaron Brooks will appear to be just a normal man running at normal speed.

    This was a great first half...too much time is left to let up though.

    Von Wafer needs to get it together!
