    Good win by the rockets!

    Anyone noticed the jazz starters all played less than 30minutes?? Maybe they are just resting the starters for the playoffs or tank for the 23rd pick???

    That's weird but they were getting blown out so probably no need for the 4th quarter...

    It almost seems like they are losing so they can be the underdog. I think they are looking to beat us even though we have homecourt. Seriously, it looks like that. WTF are they doing? I'm not complaining but this better not be some grandmaster scheme.

    Not for a shove. That wasn't that bad. But you never know. T-Mac really didn't do anything but give him a warning shove in the chest.

    It's not like he elbowed the guy who blocked his shot in the face or anything.

    If Tmac get suspended for that, Collison will be kicked out of the league for sure for doing that monkey style on Yao?

    Was at the game live. The Sonics put in a good fight and didn't give up ... coming to as close as 2 points to tieing in the second half.

    Offensively, Luther Head is really rounding into form (and defensively, he got 3 steals for his limited minutes). Could this be his breakout year? He has been playing phenomenal the last few games. I wonder if JVG will give him more minutes in the remaining games to see if Luther Head should be a bigger part of the Rocket's playoff picture. If Luther continues his pace, we have our 3rd reliable scoring option :eek:

    Not sure what the television replay showed, but when Yao hit the ground from the Collison tackle, he was in severe pain ... looked like he broke or dislocated his elbow or something on his arm ... that was his facial expression from a live viewpoint. Fortunately, it was temporary and he came back better than before and started to really dominate. As for Collison, that was pure frustration from Collison when he made the foul. Can't believe the refs didn't eject him from the game.

    Did any one else notice that T-Mac shoved Collison before Juwan broke it up? I say good for him, but Im a little worried about a suspension with the ridiculous stuff the league has been doing latley.

    No, the worst he could get is a fine. Suspensions only happen when you either actually get in a fight or you throw a punch (regardless of whether it hit its intended target or not). All the people that have been suspended this season were either in an all-out brawl, or threw a punch at someone, or both. And then there's Kobe who flung his elbows into people's faces.

    A shove isn't going to earn T-Mac anything more than a fine. On the other hand, Collison definitely deserves a suspension for that body slam he put on Yao. If Kobe can get suspended for elbowing someone in the face, there's no reason why Collison shouldn't be.

    True, nobody in this country knows who he is.

    I don't even think his teammates know who he is.

    He is a card carrying member of the:

    I'm impressed that he tried to guard T-Mac again after what happened last time. That takes guts.

    he was scappy out there. Its frustrating to see other teams with so many tall, long and athletic players in their front court.

    I have loved his game from the first time he stepped on an NBA court. He definately flies under the radar...
