    I'm actually hoping portland wins tonight, rockets need to beat 2 teams, I'd rather Portland self destruct by itself, denver is hard to catch this year

    For all the criticism he gets (some of it deserved), there is absolutely no doubt that...

    T-MAC IS A COLD-BLOODED SNIPER!!!

    Well at least it's better than playing 45 minutes of good ball, then get blown out in the last three minutes. Oh, that was the Timberwolves, my bad.

    offense shoudl have been much better had we not turn it over a bazillion times.

    once again, shot well (46%), passed well (23 assists), and balance (5 guys in double figures).

    play D more consistently and hold onto the ball and we'll be fine. i think we lose focus for a long stretch with this team (as indicated by the turnovers)

    Scola and Landry combined for 24 points and 15 rebounds?

    they're still playing down to the level of opponents... but they're beating them.

    next step is doing it against playoff teams.

    TMac has to be MVP of the game but Landry has to get a mention too for how he stepped up in place of Yao in the end of 3rd beginning of 4th.

    A win's a win. We haven't been pretty in each of the last three but we are 3-0 on the road. As Randy Savage would say OHH YEAH!

    our 4 spot went from being an achilies heal to a strength on our team.

    we need to play small ball more with landry and scola/hayes. i think that lineup of tmac, battier, bonzi, landry, scola/hayes really got us going.

    interesting that Adelman trusts Landry to close out games instead of Scola

    win is win
    but this win should be easy OR even boring win ,but why does ROX THAT ,even to WOLVES, to BUCK

    I have to buy Magic.
    yao just does not fit or just useless in TMAC Rox,
    The duel just dont work.

    this game ,one has no D ,another just cannot D

    trading either will benefit all,the ROX, TMAC AND YAO
    also for TOF, YOF AND ROF.

    the duel Rox has not "identity", no hustle,and will Rox be this lucky on any tougher team?
    Rox will still go home another first round if any playoff

    Before people start dogging Yao, remember that Al Jefferson is more of a PF than a C... and a very athletic one.

    Game summary: Rockets coast the entire game, get sloppy and commit too many turnovers.

    Then with about 2:45 left, they finally decide they need to win.

    It's nice to see them doing this late 4th quarter lockdown thing consistently, but dangit, if they had been focused earlier in the game this should've been over by halftime.

    Also, all you McGrady haters need to re-watch this game, and then shut the hell up.

    denver off to a good start...

    lets hope the rockets win tonight is coupled with a blazer loss.
