    did not expect this the Spurs seemed like they didn't care, probably thought it was an easy win because of no mcgrady, we capitalized on that. Where are all the JUWAN haters now? :D

    Bonzi stepped up and had a great game. JL3 was impressive. Juwan was great.

    Yao only played 28 minutes? And we still win. :D

    Imagine TMAC and Snyder back. We'll be awesome.

    good game

    bench came out and played well

    bonzi and howard were the difference

    Alston taking a seat is also something JVG should consider every game

    but the point is, we were hitting shots, and when we hit shots we win

    so, don't get too happy

    tomorrow everything could change

    Hell yeah. Great great win. Howard and Bonzi gave us the offense we needed when Yao was out. Even Battier seemed more aggressive offensively in the second half.

    This win was exactly what we needed after our recent losses. A definite confidence booster. Way to go, guys!!

    It is a good X'mas present for Yao from the other players. Well done Rockets.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!​

    Bonzi without even trying putup 15 points 7 boards 2 steals and a block in 30 minutes. more Importantly, he is starting to get inshape. this guy for 2.6 million is a bargin of the century.

    No Tmac, Yao in foul trouble, blow out win in San Antonio.
    What else can you ask for? Best win of the season.

    :D :D :D

    Great win!!!!!!! A 9 year 6 month drought is over. A blowout win in San Antonio without Tracy.

    Imagine what this team would be WITH Tmac, championship caliber, esp. now that we have a legit 3rd scorer/star that can rebound and is drawing double teams in the post. We could have easily won every game on the road trip if we had McGrady.

    Great win. I'm curious to see what JVG will say after this one.

    what is best about this win? Yao had a good rest, which means that we will win next game by at least 10.:)

    What a night for a rockets fan! Man Bonzi is our third option.
    Rafer played within his capacity. J HO deserves some big time props and Battier- this guy is the hardest working rocket

    Why cant we play this way- every game. And those dudes who said lob passes dont work when Yao is fronted- rethink your "expertise"

    to be honest, i think we matched pretty well against spurs, we could have beaten them badly in the first game too. i think deep in pop's heart he realized this too, he could not control himself all the game.

    Howard has been playing well lately. Keep him off the bench, we need his scoring.

    Bonzi just has his way against Spurs and is getting into shape. Hope he can keep this up.

    Head has 11 assists, that beats his 3 point shooting anyday.

    Rafer is still hot in 4th quarter, but still makes bad decisions in first 3 quarters.

    JLIII doesn't know how to pass to Yao, but made a few good shots.

    Hayes fouling out = High energy.

    Battier again does all those little things right, and was more aggressive.

    Deke is too old.

    Yao will not be allowed to play his normal game by refs against TD. But his early scoring set the tune.

    JVG should slam the desk more to keep them play with high energy.

    The best win of the season so far.
