    It's supposed to be on CCTV5. But so was the Heat game yesterday. They've been dropping a few games since Yao's been out. Hope this one airs.

    the punchline definitely didn't merit the buildup, I think.

    I hope Atkins doesn't go off on us like all the other bit players who seem to have career games when they meet the rockets...

    It's on now. You think they'd miss Yao's return?

    Can you believe the Memphis announcers calling for the Griz to step on Yao's sore toe? They even pointed out which one to try to injure. At least our announcers would never wish injury on any player. :mad: (I have to watch NBA League Pass since I'm not in Houston.)

    Feels like the guys are trying to adjust back to having Yao on the court...seems like the whole season has been a series of endless adjustments, just no stability at all.

    Here's hoping that ends for good this time around with Yao and McGrady both playing...

    Its painful to watch JVG Bball. Here's to rockets sucking all season long so there can be some changes at the core. I was a JVG supporter but it's hard to support a lifeless offensive scheme.

    Memphis has really, really good guard/forward rotation. Any of their guards would be an improvement over what we have on our roster:

    D.Stoudamire, B.Jackson, C.Atkins, Miller, E.Jones, Battier

    Just wow!

    2+ years having a 7-6 center playing for him, and JVG has STILL not realized how to effectively utilize him. Laughable.

    Just can't make a shot, our best shooter Head has been AWOL for the past three weeks. DW is as usual extremely streaky on his shot, has good weeks and bad ones. JHo tries but he's as usual undersized and will always be. But our frontcourt is not and has not been the issue, it's been our backcourt two years running now.

    Do we have a single three made this game? Just incredible how many open shots we brick, absolutely amazing...

    The refs are cowards for calling Yao for that offensive foul. Yao has a RIGHT to that space to turn and shoot. They should be sent to a ref school in Siberia for being so damn stupid. How can they sleep at night?

    and what the hell happened to Luther Head? I don't think he's made a basket since the game in Detroit.

    what can we use as an excuse this time? Days of the big men have been over for a while... we need to dump this Van Gundy system... cause it's not affective anymore. :mad:

    I don't know about anybody else, but in my opinion, Mike Miller is the 2nd most white trash lookin' player in the league. Oops, my bad... he's the most white trash lookin' player in the league, now that Chris Andersen is out.

    Every time I see Miller smile, I can't help but think "that white boy needs some elbow lovin' from the Sex Muchine".

    No excuses. This team is terrible and is outcoached on a regular basis. You dont get to be a last place Western Conference team in standing because of bad luck.

    The only thing more painful than not having Yao at all is watching the refs call YOF (Yao-Only-Fouls) against him...makes your blood boil.
