    I love all the scoring from the Rockets but at this pace they're bound to lose. This is more of a Minnesota type of game with all the jump shooting and high scoring. It's like both teams can't miss from beyond the arc. Both are shooting 80% or better with atleast six 3 point attempts from both teams. Yao's tearing it up everywhere on the court and has Olowakandi in foul trouble with 3. Still this is definitely not the pace of the game the Rockets are looking for. The way I see it the first team that starts missing 3 or 4 in a row is the team that's going to lose tonight.

    Only If Mo Taylor put 1% as much energy into rebounding the ball and defending as he does into b****ing at the refs..

    When the Rockets are hitting jumpers, it frees up Yao on the inside to do his work.

    Our D will be back in the second half and hold TWolves within 90 points.

    Was anyone else surprised? After that double-T with Hudson, you musta known Francis was going to do something fundamentally crazy and out of balance in the lane. And he did. Nice TO, Franchise.

    Troy Hudson and Sam are both hitting jumpers from long-range. That's a problem.

    Its funny... in a 63-61 game, both the radio and TV guys are saying what a good game this is.

    In a 42-41 game, you don't get that response.

    As in all sports... people love offense, but its still defense that wins championships.

    This game is getting way out of hand.

    Cato imagined that he was Yao and took consecutive 18 footers. To make things worse, he could not get the jump ball vs. "I am Sam" and Minny got a runaway dunk.

    And when everyone criticized Houston for not able to execute when shot clock runs down, Cat hits a 3 when we only had 0.9 second left with the shot clock.
