    This is well controlled game tonight. The reason that we lost is just because Kings is better than Rockets, at least now, since they have much better shooters and bench players.

    Seriously, a very good game. We weren't uptempo or anything, but we did get a few quick baskets thanks to pushing the ball a little more.

    The Rockets could have played better, but the Kings brought their A game. They shot lights-out in the fourth, and I don't think they had any turnovers the whole second half.

    Good game overall. Teams are going to have hard time to contain Tmac and Yao if both of them are on, which was the case in the nd half. Too bad, Yao screwed up 3 critical poessions down the end, which shows he still not quite there to lead this team, but he was the 2nd option in those poessions and he was too far out in the paint, out of comfort zone when he got the ball. Nonetherless, a great player should make it happen no matter what when the ball is in his hands.

    Great effort by the Rockets. I like Barrett, that kid hustles his ass off. All we need now is the Bench to step it up a little more and turn up the defense.

    Good game by the rockets, nothing new here, except the positives from our PG position. I really liked barrett in Seton Hall and was glad of the signing, I just like watching him blurr around the court and he'll find the right man or make an almost impossible drive to the basket. I hope he plays more this season. Good effort from Yao tonight. I'd usually be more angered at his costly TOs toward the end but there will come a time where he wont make those mistakes anymore and we will win in these types of situations with more regularity. Our team is better than our record.

    Are you criticizing Yao? I agree with him being inexperienced but I'm sure Yao will come through late in games as a leader with more experience.

    When Sura comes back, does that mean that Barrett doesn't get minutes?

    I really like how he changes the pace of the game.

    6 pages in a game thread after a very good road game. During the off season, everybody is excited about T-Mac coming, and we got 20 pages for any nonsense thread. Something is just not right:)

    Yes it should have especially after they called that blocking foul on Mo Taylor, or the phantom hand foul on Jim Jackson.

    Yao needs to learn to flop a bit better....

    I was afraid that would happen. Yao got some calls early on, and that whinny "stud" Miller was like rolling on the floor crying loud, I was afraid that the refs might make it up for the Kings in the 4th quarter, where it got critical. Too bad, it did happen.

    Yao had 29pts and "Stud" Miller had 13pts....yeah trade accepted, NOT!

    Our problem is our supporting cast. In a nut shell they SUCK.

    I would not mind seeing Yao making the stud Miller bend over.

    That block on Yao and the last play was clear fouls on Miller, and no calls.

    Do they dare to make these calls against TD, even on the road?

    I hope your joking because yao has owned Brad "stud" Miller the past 2 games.

    This was a good close game but on the road when you commit 18 TOs and give up 13 offensive boards you are usually going to lose. losing to the kings in Arco is no shame however and hopefully they can bounce back against the Jazz.
