    Don't include me in the Yao-only bandwagon. I criticize the big man as much as anyone.
    How wasn't that a power move? He did that all night in Boston, and it's a far better shot than his usual fadeaway.

    How come no matter who we play, we never get ANY respect from the refs?

    Gosh I wish Westbrook was still at ucla. I miss him there


    Russell reminds me of Francis but not as good offensively but better defensively. But he will go grab rebounds and pass the ball. He needs a jumper and some better handles

    Durant has 5 TOs as well. Infact thunder has more TOs than Rockets.

    When you shot isn't falling you have to keep shooting, not make idiotic moves that won't help the team. It was a very obvious charge.

    damn, 2 makeup calls in yao's favor in one game. a record.


    the thunder always lose close games in painful ways so if we lose now it will really suck.

    The refs are trying hard to get Yao out of the game. The sooner the Rockets win the better. Get the hell outta there! It is a joke.

    Then whats your point? You're saying this is all McGrady's fault, when you're ignoring Yao's fault.
