    Has anyone other than me noticed the following:

    1. Adonal Foyle is an anagram for "Ye Anal Flood."

    2. Adonal is anagram for "Do Anal."

    I just wanted to share.

    the game was not bad..i see that we are starting to run the plays "right" and thats how we are winning games w/o tmac, 2 yrs ago, these wouldve been loses

    but gj to rafer on that last lay-up to give us a lead
    the shot was too close, so i am not even going to try to say if its good or bad, but i'll say its a payback for that "offensive foul" called on yao when he was standing still watching luther or rafer i forgot make the lay-up

    I was at the game. I was the guy in the Rockets Yao Jersey in the chairs behind the basket. Very exciting game - and the fans wanted to declare war on me on my way out! Fun to be the bad guy sometimes.

    I thought the call was good though it seems I was the only one in the stadium that thought so.

    i was also at the game im a rockets fan and magic fan so i had mixed feelings on the outcome, i was cheering for both teams.The first thing that caught my eye that was different in this rockets team today was tracy, he cheered and clapped on every made basket he was up trying to coach aaron brooks during one of dwight howard's freethrows, he was always the first one off the bench giving high fives when a timeout was called, is this a new T-mac.

    lmao that would be the dumbest thing ever. Paying the refs for OT? We would have 5OT games every week. Can you imagine the bias there would be?

    Despite the criticism he gets, Stern would never let this happen either

    The W suggests otherwise.

    Don't worry, Stern is going to fire whoever wrote that.

    That T-Mac guy, tends to stagnate the offense.

    I really like the ball movement the Rox have now. I am seriously fearful that it will disappear once TMac is back.

    "and the Rockets literally ran off the floor when the call came down"

    Wow. What were they supposed to do, stay and chat? :rolleyes:

    For what it's worth, it seems from NBA.com video, if you check the replay, there was consensus in the media room that the refs got the call right.

    Why do you sound so bitter to watch the Rockets player celebrate a win?

    When did you start watching the NBA anywy? Players would jump up and down to celebrate if a game was decided in the last play and their team won. How many basketball games have you watched before?

    Tmac is not a team player.
