    with tmac, we have beaten all of the great teams except for dallas (tmac didn't play v. boston and we would have beaten them with him).

    now just stop losing to wack teams!

    Yao and Scola played well down the stretch besides the missed FTs. Scola's rebound on missed FT was keyed to the win tonight. The guy is fun to watch, he just keeps going and going.

    You know what, he might be already shot 2k ft in his practice, never doubt his effort. Simply check up who is the top ft shooter in this game and how many he missed today!!! :mad:

    Without Yao, Rockets wouldn't be in the position to win. In fact, Rockets will be trashed by Spurs. Speaking about winning........eh??? :confused:

    Lol, that +- thing fell falt on its face.

    Kinda what I saw too though, when Landry was on with Scola, Duncan was eating them up. Specially that defensive goaltending call :mad:

    I got so angry when adelman took out t-mac and left head in there with like 5 minutes to go and barely brought t-mac in with 2 minutes left....luckily, head didn't touch the ball much during that span.

    Yao choked tonight in crunch time; on the other hand it gave us more shots of that girl in the yellow blouse...

    Landry was exceptional.

    Good team win tonight.

    i think tmac cut himself on a play and had blood no his jersey so they had to get that situated thats why he wasnt in the game

    i think they had to heat his padding up or something (or did something to his knee to loosen it). that's why he had to stay out for so long.

    actually, Landry is kind of over-excited too. He got that goal-altending and was substituted, (Duncan's shot was unlikely to go in, since he lost his balance in front of yao) .

    However, I am very very very impressed by his athletism, and I believe he is clever enough to develop into a good player.

    It seems that Scola wish to let Popovich know that trading him is the worst decision ever in his coaching career...

    ugly ass win.

    you can say good things about just about every player tonight

    even scola who had a bad shooting night but came up clutch with intangibles,

    yao who missed FTs but got position and drew fouls TWICE in the last minute, played great D on duncan and had a strong overall game

    tmac, who didn't jack up too many shots his first game back

    the rooks etc

    hope yao and the rockets dont think about this one too much. a win is a win. just take it for what it's worth and work hard tomorrow

    see thats why we need tmac, he attracts so much attention like on that last drive he took it to the rim, drew defenders and created an easy oppurtunity for yao, no one else on our team can do that.
