    There is more to the game than "touches". There are turnovers, fouls, rebounds (particularly offensive), blocks... Yao can impact the game in so many ways without having to be set up by teammates 100% of the time. Your hypocrisy rant really doesn't apply.

    With that said, tonight is a night they should be milking Yao much more. He clearly has a hot hand. I have to give him credit for stopping that run of momentum by the Magic with the turnaround over Cato.

    It's called attitude....and it's helping our team.

    If Stevie hadn't already received a technical earlier, that might have been more interesting.

    Choujie, I was being sarcastic. You do understand what sarcasm is right? Of couse Yao should be getting more touches. I've been saying that all season.

    You are ridiculous. We need a third scorer, and lately he has been just that. Sura is having a HELL of a game, but you bash him solely because he doesn't pass to Yao enough. Unbelievable.

    As far as that altercation, good. I think it's clear Sura isn't going to take any crap from anyone, much like Francis last year vs. Amare. Every team needs someone like that -- I just wish it was a big man instead of a guard.

    Remember the article? The Rockets could use 4 more Sura's.

    I don't understand all the hate for Sura. The guy has a near triple double and is getting some steals too. You'd think we are losing by 10, not winning.

    why are you here? u seem to want the magic to win becuase of Steve Francis... if thats the case go join their boards... I like steve and i love that him and yao are still friends but this is a rockets board.. SO GOOOO ROCKETS!!
    and it has been a fair game ... wow ONE BAD CALL... Yao just got fouled on the very last play off that rebound.. another bad call .. its BBALL it happens

    Frances NEVER could stop an opposing PG. This just adds to the list

    There... you got your goaltending call back. That was as clean a block by Yao as there could be.

    I don't think I've ever seen that before. To all the Franchise haters out there who thought other players didn't wanna play with him, just look at that

    nice to see Yao not shy away from the long jumper (which is well within his range)
