    Sweet win and good to see Rafer come back to have incredible performance.
    T-mac is still the inconstant factor for the team. Now the team starts to win without T-mac but when he comes back, we still need to pay to fit for the new feeling and T-mac continue to come in/out. That's a even worse factor than the crazy bricker 3 point Rafer.

    I heard from local radio station that Yao had a little diarrhea last night. Must eat some fancy Chinese foold in LA :) . He seems fine and maybe clipper is too soft on him.

    Damn Areans killed laker with 60 pts. Sad day both LA teams lost.

    Alston is so, so frustrating.

    My goodness man, play like you did against the Clippers more often. Even without the gawdy offensive numbers, just play smart, shoot the OPEN J, and control the tempo.

    If he Skip can get more consistent, i'm happy with him as PG.

    were you the guy with the olajuwon jersey? i saw a guy about a few rows back with a dream jersey on. m_cable and I went to the game and were in one of the luxury boxes. good amount of yao fans at the arena today. i was surprised at the ovation he got during the starting lineups.

    Nice win on this one. That just broke the cant-win-without-tmac barrier. Go Rox.

    Well, the stomach thing was prior to the game. The back stuff was after the game.

    Yao Ming ate something that did not agree tiwth him in LA on Saturday. He actually played with some unease in his stomach. He joked after the game that the stomach problem may have helped him.

    As to what sina.com reported, he was bumped hard on the waist, and not feeling comfortable after the game; he had to go for a massage treatment for 10 minutes, before joining the post-game press conference.

    no. I wish I did. :) I was a little late, but I did heard the ovation when yao's name was mentioned, as I was entering the gate.

    I believe that picture was taken when Yao got his 3rd foul :D , since I was at the game 10 hours ago and at 4th row. It was my first time to sit that close in a game, and it was amazing and exciting. There were quite a few Rockets/Yao fans cheering with me, which made it not so odd for me to shout aloud among Clippers fans. BTW, I did notice that Yao said something after he made the jump shot around 2:00 min in 4th quarter, but I didn't realized he said F word :eek: .

    thanks R2K. I predict yao with 40 point game against blazers. That will set this bbs on fire.

    Holey Moley Yao's shot is sweet. He's just got so much touch. And is it just my imagination or his he shoot more fadeaway type jumpers?

    seriously pleased that Yao for his sixth Magic Man for the season, and he got the Daily Dream from Rick Kamla :D now I can go to bed in peace.

    By the way: V-Span did not play the last two games. I can't believe that his situation will improve with TMac and Snyder returning.
    So what do you think: Will he give up, return to Europe after this season? Or will he be traded?
