    We may have a chance to win tomorrow since it builds momentum and confidence even though all players are dead tired after tonight.

    Good first half but we must remain consistent. If T-mac could turn it on we could finish them off early and get some much needed rest (4th quarter) for the spurs. I would be happy to split the two though but estatic if we win both

    A $10,000 question:

    Is Stan McNeal watching the Rockets play tonight?

    Will he come up with another brilliant analysis b****ing about the 2 missed shots that Yao had in the first half?

    The stupidity in this post is amazing. If you've never heard the expression, "tomorrow is a new day", then now you have.

    I am thankful for the ignore list. One more added to it.

    Question for all of you-
    Why are you so damn negative? If you want to be that negative, then leave this website and join the Mavs or Spurs or you even you neighborhood basketball team's websites and talk on there.

    We closed the 1st half big. But 7pts deficit to a team like Seattle is nothing. I have seen them come back from that in the late of games numerous times. We have to keep the intensity. Expect Tmac to explode.

    Knowing him, he's also counting his 1 missed free throw, and the shots he misses in the pre-game warmups as well.

    Yao's third quarter stats will be:

    1/3, 1 rb, 3 fouls, 4 TO. He could prove me wrong.

    Let's cross our finger to pray yao ming stay out of foul trouble and wesley keep his hot hand. hopefully TMac will regain his touch in 2nd half.

    Sonics are supposed to be better than us..and we're clearly owning them :)

    WESLEY ...WAY BETTER THAN JIMMY. HELL YEAH. Shooting..defense..fast break..quickness..fun...everything lol..

    Barrett has been wonderful. STrickland sucked and did all right at other times..

    But Barrett so freakin quick and can set peoplep up.

    Padgett missed 3 shots! lol

    Yao awesome. Owning. Consistently owning inside.

    Lewis..come to Houston!

    Sonics seem like they just take shots..if they played smart and moved the ball around until they got a well set up open shot..like they did before..they'd be very good. Maybe they're just not making them. They're still trying to take it in on Yao and company..not workin!

    Tmac 6 assists ver ynice. Barry came in and played well too with Dikembe.

    Lets get Yao 50. He's doing whatever he wants out there. I would love to see him silent his critics. Cuz that would be a dominant peformance.

    I see no reason why he cant get it tonight.

    I would agree with you if he actually made it to practice and played hard during the game. Since he did neither, he got what he deserved.

    Are they going to make a sequal of Lord of rings trilogy, Freddo's long seperated twin brother was given the job to destroy another ring. I am sure they can use Ridnour.

    A little strategy question for you guys:

    Do JVG play Yao 20-22 min the second half to secure the win, or save him a little for tomorrow's game against the Spurs?

    Yea, but his team didn't deserve that embarassment at home against a team that's the #8 seed, while they're "flying high" at #6.

    Back to the topic at hand... we'll see if the Sonics make any adjustments to Yao. Lately, teams haven't been able to switch to the fronting defense because our long-range threats (T-Mac, Wesley, Barry) won't let them.

    So how many games has Mo not been with the team now??? I still dont see him on the bench...


    I know JVG knows more BB in his little finger than almost all of us put together, but why would he EVER play ROD?? Rod has had how many days to get into game shape... and he still cant play more than 8 mins... If we had a choice I would rather have Marc Jackson back...:mad:


    It's clear to see that everyone who said Bob was the X-FACTOR was right... I wish we could just send him to a Chiropractor, If he will be out a long time like someone else said he should get his knee done too..
