    If we lose it is all the refs fault. We have been getting muged ALL game and we have been getting NO calls except that 5 min period when McGrady got those calls

    Yao just needs to adjust. Plain and simple. Granted, it's his 3rd year, but it's his 1st year playing with this team. Let him find his niche. As for sitting him out and having him play less, I'm all for it as long as we can have a viable backup to back up Deke

    are we the dumbest team in history? yao picks up fouls over and over. taylor bumps gasol once and gets away with it so of course he just has to push it and bump him again and foul out. leave well enough a-****ing-lone. now you're out mo. and you gave up the shot by making it a touch foul. awesome brain. but then taylor's always been a stupid player so i guess this is nothing new.


    edit: so that's why we traded for tmac. awesome shot.

    T-Mac is playing so smart. No deflected dribbles, not getting trapped, making great passes, doesn't get caught up in the air with nowhere to shoot or pass. He just balls the right way, and has a very patient approach to the game I'm loving.

    I think Yao's pissed off with wearing the elbow protector. The guy ripped it off and threw it aside.

    TMac has anointed himself the new leader of the Rockets with this game. There's no doubt about it.

    now i finally feel like tmac is a rocket. i didn't get to see the preseason so it took a little while but it finally feels right watching him play for us. it was that jumper at the end that did it. so effortless and so sweet.

    and now memphis has lost 10 straight going back to last season.

    I would be pissed too,

    Freakin Gasol has lit it up again, while Yao and his fouls keeping the bench warm

    Why does it seem Gasol always gets the upper hand in this match up.

    Go To Hell Gasol , you frekin bleep, bleep, bleep .........!!!!!

    what point is that? what is up with y'all? instead of just dumping it all on yao, maybe point at the ineffectiveness of everyone else.

    No matter how good SF is playing in another team. The Rockets now have a truly superstart. Go TMac.

    I'm not going to go through the TMac vs Steve argument too much, but there's no way in heck that Steve has the kind of ability in the half-court to create shots like TMac can due to the height difference. TMac makes plays for everyone else, and he scores. The guy may indeed be better than Kobe.

    TMac was just sick today. Considering the Rockets played 3 games on the road, the Rockets came out 1-3 with 1 win at a place the Rockets lost twice last season.

    Beautiful all round game from T-Mac. He showed how unselfish he is and how justified we were to make the trade.
    Yao will learn how to play with him but the coaching staff have got to try to make it a little easier for him to score.:)
