    Hmm, our division does not look so tough at this point.

    Sorry, I'm not a T-mac hater, I actually have been a fan of this team longer than you have. But I just scratch my head over and over when Barry gets the ball.

    We haven't even played 10 games and already calling Barry washed up. Rockets look good tonight, The PG's are carrying us and Yao is boarding, who cares how he gets him, 11 boards are 11 boards. Artest's last shot is what he needed to get him going, and T-mac just needs to sit and rest his injuries, I liked it with both Skip and Brooks in there. Everybody just be patient with the Rox, long road trip and still trying to figure each other out, we gonna be unstoppable soon, keep the faith.

    We need more size in the front court. It's obvious from the first half. When Yao's out, nobody on the team is over 6 foot 8.

    Yeah he doesn't dribble very well. He struggles to dribble on a fast break. I think Artest will be fine though. We just have to get him inside and like yo usaid bully his way into the lane.

    I don't mind him taking open 3's though, he's proven he can hit them.

    Did Ron's buzzer-beater really count? Cuz the replay looked like the shot was late... I am not complaining tho ;)

    Yao wants to avoid picking up fouls as well as encourage his teammates.

    Yao was noticably quicker on the boards and in this game he stopped that multiple high dribble that's so slow thats its often stripped for a turnover. I would like to see Yao get good position, use no more than one dribble and put the ball up.

    When the second unit is on the floor, the primary play needs to be Artest posting up, with Brooks and Barry on the wings waiting for a double team.

    Is it just me or who also thinks the Suns are really struggling too? Nash isn't playing like Nash at all. I guess Suns' fans talk about him and Shaq just as we talk about Tmac and Yao.
