    Yao must hate Seattle or something... must be all that coffee.

    Fortson pissed him off big time last game, and this one he's just seemed pissed from the start.

    All the Sonics big-men are in foul trouble... but then again, so is Yao.

    That was a blatant flop by Evans too. He could just see Yao kind of flex his muscles or set his position where he was at, Evans ran in to him and just threw himself backwards.

    Evans looked like he wanted some of Yao too on that offensive board and putback Evans missed (then Yao got the board and was fouled). Evans really pushes hard down low... surprised he hasn't picked up more fouls.

    It's halftime .... I may reboot the server here (3 minutes of downtime).

    When Yao is leaping higher than usual for rebounds, you know he is different from usual.

    What?? They didn't just "allow" them to score. Seattle ran a play for Allen, the Rockets cut him off, and he finally decided to pass it to an open Murray.

    They executed pretty well.

    Wow. I really thought we were about to witness Yao's first fight in the NBA. Nice to see him sticking up for himself.

    Well, now Evans will be on Yao for the majority of this quarter.

    James just picked up his 4th.

    That Evans guy really is looking to start something with Ming.
    This may get ugly.

    Nuggets beat Golden State, so the Rockets need to win tonight to hang onto the 6th seed.

    Damn, I can't watch the game but what the heck happened here....

    From Yahoo Sports...

    8:22 SEA - Shooting foul on D. Wilkins
    8:34 SEA - Personal foul on R. Evans
    8:42 SEA - Personal foul on L. Ridnour

    They called 3 fouls in a row on Seattle ?

    I'm at work, so I'm watching it the same way you are. :)

    Didn't the game against the Sonics in Houston(the one right after the All-Star break) start out the same way?

    Evans is a freaking joke of a player... no skills at all... just all physical.

    Anyways, they didn't call the foul on Yao... but he still got his chin busted again where he got the stitches.

    Now, Evans just picked up his 4th on a dumb foul on Spoon... divine justice.

    I know I keep saying this, but how much more comical is the Francis-McGrady comparison getting?
