    People must be frustrated in other areas of life: complain, complain, complain...

    Only down 7 (could be down 15).

    Just keep it close and win in the end.

    Figured out how to make the entry pass into Yao from the corner/baseline area. Finally.

    Need to buckle down on D.

    Could the NBATV halftime show be any worse? I think GP taking a dump on the desk would be an improvement.

    can someone ask AB, what is the purpose of his dribbling?

    good point, part of it stems from our inability to move the ball in the first half. shane needs more open looks (as always), and im really hoping wafer gets that jumper going.

    Aaron Brooks really must be related to Chris Rock, since he's not down to Earth.

    Man this is harsh - but I have to agree you got a point. AB's got to go - he does not seem to have a team concept.

    I am not sure the Rockets can play worse, except for Scola of course who had a sizzling first quarter though he was rarely seen after that, and they are only down by seven. Still winnable, BUT several players need to get off the plane in the second half including AB, Yao, and Artest.

    Bad first half, overall. Only down 7 points guys. Let it breathe.

    Yao is THERE IN THE GAME, he's 7'6 tall, but it appears only Battier can see him.

    When Yao had the ball, he can score; without the ball, he's not going to be much a factor.

    shane sure is the mr. intangible,

    the biggest intangible move is how to pass yao the ball.

    seems only shane can do that on a consitant base

    I really, really, really don't understand why it is so difficult for these guys to understand they should look for Yao as much as possible to win games. Everyone on this planet is saying the same thing again and again. They just won't listen.

    Man, you guys really need to calm the **** down. Aaron is doing just fine. The last play (which Adelman probably called) broke down and Aaron went to the basket. Nothing wrong with that.

    Watch the game before you talk. Commentators are calling for Yao to get the ball, Rockets players don't thinks so. They keep waiting until Yao can't hold his position any longer.

    Our PGs decision making ability is horrible.

    That being said, defense is the biggest problem in first half.

    AS much as I have so little respect for him right now, Tmac was really fantastic at getting Yao the ball against fronts .

    Rockets are shooting good: 51.4%. The problem is, they are letting Portland shoot 52.5%. Rockets also have 4 more turnovers than Portland.

    Rockets need to play better defense, and cut down their turnovers.
