    Wow, Artest. When I said lob passes to Yao, I did not mean stand in the halfcourt line and lob it to Yao when Przybilla is fronting him.

    Rockets are going to get blown out. Aaron Brooks is clueless, Ron Artest is clueless.

    Nate McMillian must have called Jeff Van Gundy last night.

    Things I don't understand.

    I've watched almost every single rockets game this year.

    Not once have I seen Ron Artest try that pass to Yao one single time.

    So the question I ask is,

    Why start now in a playoff elimination game?

    We aren't going to win the series like this. If we're that easily figured out, then we have no chance.

    The fact that our past 2 games was so close....

    Scola should not swing the ball around. He needs to directly pass Yao the ball from the key.

    Bringing back TMAC into the topic doesn't help, why does everybody always say tmac would be useful when artest is not? and when artest is useful, tmac is not needed.

    Their home crowd would open a can of Whoop-ass on our home crowd. I'm ashamed.

    I really hope they don't think 'oh well, we just gotta win next game at home'... that sorta mentality will lose the series.

    We are not sticking to our game plan and also not playing as hard as we've been playing. I guess we thought we can just cruise by and win since we are up 3-1.

    Nice to see that Pryzbilla has more shot attempts than yao.

    This team can quite possibly be the worst starting 5 passing unit in the league.

    Rockets look like the tight/inexperienced team right now.

    I would put in Lowry NOW... let him run the offense. If Portland continues to hit all their shots, it may just be one of those nights.

    I seem to recall the Rockets having two performances like this (game 6 against Dallas, and then game 5 against Utah last year) where we smoked the team trying to clinch...

    It is possible that the Rockets get run out of the building tonight.
