    Yao's hands must be cold like ice. Touched the ball 6 or 7 times in the whole game. Yao's officially useless without the ball.

    Our last possesion of the half illustrates in a nutshell what is so frustrating about this team.

    They just exploited Aldridge for attempting to guard Yao Ming on the possesion before... easy dunk.

    What do they do after they get a stop? THEY COMPLETELY IGNORE THAT MATCHUP!

    Instead, Aaroon Brooks attempts to go 1 on 4. How is that smart basketball? Even a 3rd grader would realize that when you have a matchup problem, you at least attempt to exploit it until the other team does something active to stop it.

    Could you imagine how good this team would be if the two Superstars ( Yao & Ron )scored their averages

    I'll tell you what.

    The rockets pick and roll = fail.

    Too bad they try it every other play.

    As what we observe the way shane got yao the ball, it is not impossible to get him the ball even with those fronting defense. The key is the passer

    i really can't get over our last possession. i like brooks in general but MFer that was stupid. look for yao at least once, and if you don't, at least don't drive into everybody who is already standing in the paint. my goodness that sucked.

    yeah, there's numerous times (at least it seems to me) that yao is fronted but flashes to the center because no one is playing behind. it should be an easy layup but no one is making a quick pass. battier is the only one that feed him competently.

    The problem really is that BOTH PGs are playing really badly this game, as well as Artest. Yao is starting to pick it up, and hopefully things can continue. We have Yao pick up, shut down either Lamarcus (who is playing out of his mind) or Roy, and we'll win. Portland was down by double digits in the last two games and came back - no reason we can't do the same either, but win unlike them.

    Nice not being down by double digits. The Rockets will make their run in the second half when it counts.

    Big test coming up for the Rockets in the second half. Can they play hard and make this a game?

    The Lakers are kicking back and resting right now. The more games we play, the more we get beat up.
