    Bullard and his ice cream strike again. At least this time he brought a spoon for Bill.

    Are you watching the game? Seems like you're defending him solely on his stats. His misses were stupid shots that killed momentum. He could probably be 3-3 from FG right now.

    Funny how we are all watching different broadcasts... I count 3 so far:

    Bull/Bill for the local Houston guys, the Wizards broadcast for those on League Pass, and the Shanghai broadcast for the rest of the world.

    Bingo.

    Instead of continuing to feed a hot McGrady or even get it inside to Yao, he puts up stupid arse jumpers that kill our momentum.

    On a sidenote, Rafer is being burned by Arenas...JVG MUST put a bigger guard on him, stick Batter on him smarty.

    Don't get fooled by stats. Jho's defense was bad and his shot selection was bad as well.

    Good play, now you feed Yao inside to open up everyone else.

    Rockets playing very well so far.

    Are you? If you were you'd have notice he has played very solidly. He's missed 3 shots. Hes taken six, 2 of which were nearly identical offensive tip in from the weakside. The only questionable play hes made was, taking that 19 footer at the top of the key and the quick post move he made in transition resulting in a missed 7ft jump hook, without waiting for Yao and the rest of the team to come down. So what "misses" are you refering to that killed our momentum?

    lol. I heard someone (probably a Rocket) tell Arenas 'dont miss it [his free throw]. Arenas told him I won't then swished it.

    Umm he missed 2 jumpers in the first half. I dont think two shot missed that were separated by 10 min "killed" our momentum.

    etan thomas with some sort of record for the biggest moving pick/push in the back combo ever on one possession and doesn't get called for either.

    Battier could be our most reliable 3 point shoooter... next to head

    Yao's getting shoved in the back while going up for rebounds. It's been happening all night long. Of course, no call.

    JVG is LIVID at the refs... all those who say the guy shows no emotion when the refs are missing calls are nuts.

    When the Rockets are in the mindset to make the extra pass, they are a very efficient team. They can work the ball around the perimeter very well when the mood strikes them.
