    I thought only Yao misses FTs at the end of the game.

    If Mcgrady keeps this up and the Rockets keep on rolling, he will have to start getting MVP consideration.

    Can we officially say that the Rockets has turned the corner? It's at totally different level now, comparing to last year. Games like that, although down on first, second quarter, although I can't watch the game, but only thing I could see was that Minny was shooting very well, but we were hanging around, and I believed we could come back. It was that case last year, even up 10 in third, we were still so worried about the outcome. Man, considering that T-Mac and Yao only played half season together, the Barry and Wesley just played less than 1/4 with them. how good they will be, till the season end, when they fully gelled.

    That's way too easy. At least make them take some time off.

    Yeah 3 missed free throws could have sealed the game. It's still too close.

    could we have made that a little harder maybe. this is quite scary at this point. someone better step up here. put yao in, he seems cool under pressure. of course if he misses the first one, he's missing the second one so that's not good.

    I think it's smart to take out Yao. The puppies were taking it to Yao knowing that they'll continue to get the call against him. Good move by JVG.

    i agree that yao took himself out of the game. however i disagree with you on the point that it is not sura's responsibility. as the PG it is his responsibility. if yao passes up a goo shot then you yell at him to get into position and give him the ball back. or, if yao was too scared to take it then pass to tmac. i'm ok with him shooting if that fails.

    I don't like JVG's call, maybe he want to try something fancy, but looks even harder to inbound the ball.

    In all fairness, I brought up Francis first. Every time I see T-Mac play like this I'm reminded of how the first 20 games brought out tons of "Francis was our heart!" posts, and the trade was a mistake.
