    We can play all 3 the same game, Chuck, Scola and Landry, we got 2 spot for the PF and 1 spot for the back up Center. They all can get minutes.

    Keep play them all.
    They bring something different to the table, and they are all young.

    Let's be reasonable. When you have a great FT shooter miss BOTH FTs with 0:07 left in the game, what do you call it? "These people" have a valid point of discussion.

    That's because Tmac had blood on his arm...

    Tracy McGrady was +3 in a game decided by two points. He didn't shoot well, but he played fine.

    This is my first post here and i didn't catch the game but can anyone tell me how tmac looked on the court? Is he still laboring his leg? Did he attack the basket? Thanks.

    You know, you don't have to follow the Rockets. You certainly don't pee your pants every time they disappoint you on this BBS. Take up another hobby. You'll be happier. We'll be happier. It's a win-win solution.

    My two cents.

    1) We picked up our defence. Only their big three scored more than 6 points.

    2) We hustled all the game, especially when Scola and Landry were in the game.

    3) Yao contained Duncan on both ends when they went one-to-one. Yao probably defends Duncan better than anybody else in the league.

    4) The crowd was great. Again, what is the problem of our homecourt that Tmac mentioned? It seemed that the we didn't have the problem tonight.

    5) Chuck will play himself out of the lineup if he can't make those easy layups.

    It's only a problem if it's consistent. Anyone can have a weird game. This game is an exception, not the rule. From what I remember Yao shoots FT's exceptionally well in crunch time.

    Scola had a poor offensive game...but WOW, this guy is all hustle. And I love the emotion he shows in the game, like after that yao dunk on duncan.

    In past games, Yao was proved to be the only in Rocket that could defend Duncan. I don't understand why Adelman always let someone else to defend Duncan at the begining of every game.

    Agree~ He never miss those clutch fts before. Today he plays really tough and physically under ugly defense of Gioboto. I guess the bad fouls on Yao's arm hurt his shooting touch in the last few minutes.

    Damn depth perception messed up Yao and Alston's free throws. ;)

    The stats may not show it but I thought our PFs did a great, great job. Hayes missed a lot of gimme layups as usual but did a brilliant defensive job on Duncan.
    Scola missed the mid-range shots he usually makes, but made up for it with energy and rebounding. I love his reaction after getting the offensive charge calls. What other players feel after a dunk, this guy gets from getting the charge.
    And what else can you say about Landry? The guy's like a giant Energizer Bunny out there.

    I love that the rox won, what a guts win. To have Yao and rafer combine for 3 missed FTs and still win the game............gotta love our hustle and rebounding FTMFW!

    Let's go rox and glad to have tmac back.


    its his first game back and he was assisting, hitting 3s, driving the lane and drawing the defense and all around playing great considering his time off. :rolleyes:
    9pts, 4 rebs, 4 assts in how many minutes :confused:

    Mr. Pass First had the highest FGA on the Rockets.

    In fact, the only one on either team who had more FGA than him was Tim Duncan.
