    So far, Yao is perfect. Let's go, Rockets! Keep going to Yao.

    Just feed the big man! Over and over and over and over and over again.

    They front him, bring him out to the top of the key and move scola down low.

    Blazers dont know what hit them, they look like the young team that they are!

    Hope they enjoy their playoff debut, we keep playing like this, and it will be rather brief.

    we really really need to keep up, and play tough defense and find a way to solve Roy's PnR. hopefully Yao can foul out one of their bigs.

    It's hard for a team to keep up that level of play for four quarters..heck, I was going to be happy with any kind of lead at all at halftime. Portland will make some kind of run in the 2nd half, we know that. Just got to minimize it the best we can, and respond when they begin to front Yao.

    If Yao can keep up the same intensity and determination and the team trusts in him to keep the focus on him Yao will move 2 steps closer in a turning point in his career.

    He will not go perfect nor drop 24 in the 2nd half but if he is able to make critical shots and impact plays this team will seal the win. Seams obvious but there have been too many times Yao is negated after his explosions and this team loses trust in him.

    Time for a change irregardless of fronting nor doubles.

    it's time to keep them on their toes.. keep them guessing..

    time for some Scola/Wafer/brooks pick and pops and pick and rolls.. some Artest/Scola low post plays.. Yao to the high post.. starting the 3rd..

    counter their expected adjustment.. with unexpected offensive shifts in focus..

    Anyone notice the Rockets' 2 point percentage for the first half? 20-26. I'll take that every day of this millenium.
