    Just as many of you here, the Rockets has taken a win at Memphis for granted...Yao no doubt is among one of those Rockets after a big win the other day...You get seriously burned if you underestimate any team in NBA, even a team as bad as MEM.

    I am unable to watch the game and am only looking at box scores.

    I was wondering, how bad are we REALLY playing?

    He had some great games last season?

    Are we talking about the same Steve Francis? He had an OK game in Phoenix. That was it. Every other time he was put in the game prior to the injury he sucked.

    RA wanted SF3 to take over the starting position last season and he came to camp looking like a jelly filled donut.

    Its funny how people look like an ass when they don't agree with your oppinion...as wrong as it is.

    Some of you are forgetting that in the last two games, Yao averaged 28.5 pts, 12 rbs and 4 asts while shooting 70% from the field. One bad half and kingk0ng wants to trade Yao? People like kingk0ng have the memory capacity of an earthworm.

    Maybe he is a Rockets fan first and would rather see the Rockets win than pacify ***'s.

    id say it's moreso about the grizzlies shotting very very well. they've made a couple of threes with the defender right in their face. but the rockets also showed a lack of energy at the opening the game.

    At least they got it down to a single digit lead. rocket guards just need to keep it simple and play in and out with Yao.

    the refs must be blind, Gasol is playing some wwf defense out there. Hope Adelman gets on their ass before the start of the 2nd half. This aint football, refs need to be fair, if Yao tried playing defense like that he'll foul out in 5 minutes.

    We shall see about this... Yao has trouble against physical post players. Gasol is giving him fits so far. It is like waisted possessions going into Yao. He throws up trash or makes a bad pass out of the post. Looks really bad. I hope they give him a pep talk at halftime. Get a freakin rebound would yah. You don't need post position to do that on defense. Just have some desire and hustle. You are 7'6. Come on Yao, they need you to get going...
