    I call it like I see it!

    Never Hated, only wanted what he did tonight!

    Stop trying to be rightious! And stop trying to be the I told you so!

    Accept the fact if Yao can dominate like he did tonight we can be champs.

    Stop the BBS Hating!

    It was a great game - but now if you watch - Nash was complaining that Yao was using his elbows. They were complaining he was using his elbows when he rebounds and was hitting players downward. Well - at least this is the Yao I want to see - because when players gets smack by Yao - they will START clearing out of the way from Yao like they do with Shaq! I think the game was a tremendous game - now whether Marion would make the difference, honestly it is a TEAM game - not one person. And they ALMOST scored their season average - so I would say No, Marion probably would NOT have made a difference. I love teh James trade, he showed how valuable he could be! Now the Rockets just needs to go into Sacramento and give them a spanking too!

    Ryan "the Maniac" Bowen really scared the hell out of the Suns! They were probably asking "Who the heck is this wild man!?" :eek:

    Good job TMac and Yao. Great teamwork from everyone!

    I've never been happier as a Rockets fan this year. What a great win on the road and superb performance from our one-two punch. Let's hope players can keep their intensity at this level. ;)

    It was pretty amazing the amount of restraint the refs showed. I guess since Amare and the rest of the Suns would just run full speed into Yao, the refs thought it was only fair there would be some contact.

    Suns were whining all night.

    Dude, why do teams guard Ryan Bowen when he's in the game?

    Definitely Mike James is the man. He's quick, strong, plays defense, and he can shoot. He can take it to the hole. He's pretty much a complete point guard. He's an offensive player and a defesnive player..which makes him complete :p :)

    Yao..man I'm proud. He got pissed at the ref..when guys fouled the hell out of him..he continued playing. I even saw him fouling Steven Hunter..holding Hunter..and Hunter was like throwing elbows everywhere. Yao is the man. :) They can't really say anything about the elbows. He's not intentionally using the elbows to knock someone out. His elbows are just that high and I saw he was careful to maneuver them..trying not to cause a foul...whatever it worked. :) HE DOMINATED

    Maybe as I posted before, somebody posted Barkley's "softer than my stomach" comments in their locker room. The team is on fire. Just unbelievable.

    This was a fantastic win! But not unforeseen (I predicted a win tonight!)

    We're gonna win in Sacramento, too

    Damn that Mike Bibby! Proving yet again why he was always the best player on the Kings.

    I didn't see most of the first half, and I just skimmed through the last 5 pages or so of this thread. But, why didn't Sura play in the 2nd half?

    James looked great, so I'm not complaining. Just curious.

    Because if you don't, he'll slip and act like you pushed him and get the call.
