    It goes to show how much value Van Gundy puts on Boki. I don't see how Boki can grow as an NBA player unless he gets PT on the court.

    Yes, that was amazing. Cato has practised his mid-range shot quite a bit this year. That seems to be working even for a long bomb. :)

    Hahaha but the same could be said about Marbury! hes 0 - 2 now and I think Sf looks/feels more confident about his shot.. I hope his shooting touch is back and Yao played a solid game. I hope this helps him build some confidence moving forward.

    Cato is going to become our 3 point specialist. Cut Pike.

    From the lowest point total of the season last night to the highest total tonight... what a bizarre team.

    Awesome win! :cool: Anytime you can get New Yorkers to boo their own team, you've done your job.

    Eat it, Marbury.

    i hope theres not too much overreacting after next game. no matter how they play, win or lose, it wont be as good as this game. this is as good as it gets. when was the last time we blew out an opponent???? we should do it more often :)

    Right on......Rockets were ignored all nite by announcers..even Kenny and Charles ignored them when they were up 17 at half.

    I LOVED THE MARBURY/NY CORONATION THAT NEVER OCCURRED:D :D

    Great bounce back win for Rox. Total domination under "setup for a loss" conditions.

    i bet he will get more playing time next year so the rockets will know to either use the option on his contract or not.

    Well, on Monday, we beat GS 83-65. And on Sunday, we beat Utah 84-63. I guess it depends on your definition of 'blowout" :D

    Primarily because it's a TEAM game played on a court instead of on paper. :D

    Come on we have to admit Yao had a great game. If the game was any closer Yao would have had big stats but since he did well in the beginning we didnt need him. This team lives and dies with Yao in the middle. Notice when he starts off strong opposing teams need to focus on him opening up the court for everyone else. The def started to sag on him and left everyone else wide open. I liked SF's production today.. 6 assists 2 TO's I can live with. He looked like he found his shooting touch and we moved the ball around well and got Yao involved alot more.

    I dont know why Boki doesnt get more playing time? maybe JVG wanted to keep the NYK score lower to keep us at the top defensively?

    Look at the trend.. Yao plays well we win he struggles we lose. I think its as simple as that. When people have to worry about Yao scoring inside it opens up the game. Teams are not doubling SF as much as before but Yao is still attracting alot of attention. Funny though since he has been struggling..

    Well I dont want to get my hopes up but I am pretty happy with this game.. Made my night.

    The Rockets have always owned the Knicks.

    It's a great win. We need in the middle of all those published controveries among the coach and the players. Do you think this win will prove those rumours are not as negative as it sounds? One can say this win is for the coach - back to old town! :D

    Booing basically started when the Rockets took around a 15 point lead in the 1st quarter and never stopped. At least the fans have passion.
