    Mac with 19 in the 4th! NICE!

    But Yao has to step up. He's traditionally dominated Kaman. If he plays like that the next game, we lose. Can't count on Mac to get hot every night like he did tonight.

    I'm not sure what Yao's problem is at this point in time. He's getting his touches on the block, but it seems like he's reticent to make his move, and getting all those turnovers as a result. Is his elbow and shoulder bothering him that badly? Or does he just miss JVG's ragging? It doesn't look good for Yao ATM.

    Good road win. Yao had an off night and I hated hearing the Clippers announcers, but I'll take the W.

    Why was Rafer allowed so much playing time in the second half while he kept serving up bricks?!

    This is a really terrible episode of Twilight Zone....

    ....with endless reruns.

    Who says T-Mac doesn't have killer instinct?

    Great win today, but the Clippers sucked! No Brand or Cassell. Dickau sucks!

    Hope for a speedy recovery Sam!

    A win is a win... but I hated the way we went about it. T-mac pulled us through, but everybody else has got to show up. We would of lost if the Clippers were not so pathetic down the stretch.

    Funny how Adelman won this game "JVG"-style. He shortened the rotation in the second half to ensure we didn't let the 4th quarter lead slip. I believe Rafer played the entire second half. Steve and Mike play only 8 first half minutes.

    I thought it was interesting how Alston pointed to Adelman after passing up a wide open three. It almost seems like Adelman specifically told him to stop taking three-pointers!

    Yeah I'm wondering why James nor Francis played at all in the 2nd half. This says a lot more about James than anyone. Honestly, he doesn't deserve playing time over Alston and Francis for that matter.

    Yao had a subpar offensive game. But he locked down Kaman in the 2nd half. Yao needs to stop passing out and attack the double team more. Tmac was hot tonight. But yao will step up.

    RA has made his bed and he should stick with Rafer and Bonzi to play the second half instead of SF3 and MJ. I would like to see what that will get him. This coach frustrates me to no end.

    Yes!

    Dallas, Phoenix, San Antonio, New Orleans & Utah all lost tonight against supposed weaker opponents.

    Rockets/Clips had a beautiful ending to another wise ugly game. Who cares, honestly? They dominated in the 4th when it actually mattered.

    2 in a row...Great start to this young road trip.

    maybe it was the lack of crowd excitement ... but that game just felt so dead. no crowd involvement at all. i guess i feed off the crowd noise when watching ...

    ugly game. tmac did his thing, got us a win. Rafer surprised me. good game by him. everyone else ... was still struggling.

    I am glad that rockets won. But not sure why it was not too convincing to me. Was it because Rafer played too much? Was it because Yao had a sub par game? Or Was it because we could not score much?
