    Outside Yao and Rafer, everybody else is having a crappy game. Too many TOs. We need some easy baskets to build on.

    It's time to see what the Rockets are made of? Do they melt down or they come out and kick the Knicks' behind hard?

    Nate Robinson just has a tendency to burn the Rockets.

    Everyone but Yao pretty much coasted that half. They need to turn it on for the rest of the game, especially on defense.

    It is *how* we are losing, not *that* we are losing that is really bad.

    I think starting Scola and Brooks in the second half will solve a lot of problems. We can't let Hayes' man to continue to sag off of him to double Yao.

    God challage Yao now!
    If yao really step up (a great player not just a very good player), we will win the game. If not, we will lose the game.
    I still could not belive that knicks got 5 points in 6 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    (2 points in 4second and 3points in 2 seconds!!!!!!!!)

    Now who was it that said this is a 50 win team?? We're losing to the Knicks at half after they didn't score a FG in the first 6 minutes. Maybe we do belong in the Atlantic Division. We'd fit right in.

    WTF are you taking about? How did a center get posterized by a 3-pointer?

    Head's shooting is so streaky.

    We need Shane and him to play better in the second half to win this game.

    Bonzi wells is a momentum killer,He forces plays that are not there,He is late on his defensive assigments and he gambles too much on D.

    Wow , wow, you have made like 10 posts in a row to say this team sucks. Then why are you still watching? Even if we are down by 20 points now, I still believe we can win it after the 4th quarter. I still believe we can be competitive in the league. You suck.

    The Rockets had a good 6 minutes in the first quarter and they decided the game was over. Same old story. Hopefully they can freaking wake up and come out fired up. Otherwise this game is going to represent a huge step backwards.

    No panic guys. We'll be ok because Yao is totally awesome tonight. It's natural we look less than our best on a back to back, but I think we have more than enough to win this game. Just keep feeding the big man

    I predict Yao will be taken out of his game. The Knicks will front and double-team and make someone else beat them.

    But we need others to play well to win this game. Yao by himself would not be enoug.

    It already represents a huge step backwards.

    The reason the Knicks are leading by 3 now is because the
    Rockets not playing any def at all. 53 points and .513 for
    the Knicks.

    Why are people already giving up? We still have a whole half to play.
