    scola = foul trouble. i like this lineup. good offensive players. proven ones, too. plus, mike james is playing UNSELFISHLY!!?? LOL. who would have ever thought. Also, I don't know how/why/when the hell it hit adelman to make them do this whole pushing of the ball thing, but I REALLY like it. It clearly makes sense to do when Yao is out of the game, but I just never really noticed it even when he was in foul trouble in previous games. Gosh. I hope they are conditioned enough to keep this up. It's beautiful. It really feels like we are watching a completely different team than the one we saw just 2 days ago!!

    What a first half, what a game :eek:

    Mike James had 2 good back-to-back plays, with the assist to Rafer and the sweet finish off the glass.

    And Rafer is really playing well, it seems like "Mr. Inconsistency" is playing well when T-Mac is out. Why ? I have no idea.

    We have seen so many good things by the team, especially on offense : Adelman ball at its best.

    More to come in the 2nd half, this game is far from over.

    GO ROX !

    that can be with the tmac pick and roll at times. but they are stars and we have to get them the ball. we cannot run the offense all the time on every play. stars have to be stars.

    I've noticed every time when Bill says the Rockets need a big shot the ball somehow finds its way into Rafer's hand! Luckily he made them today but there's something going on between him and Bill! lol

    I think other than getting tired, yao is playing pretty good. You can really tell when he gets tired though, he kinda gets lazy in his effort. The rox need ti attck the basket. No shotblockers just like none for utah.

    Man how can battier miss so many uncontested 3 pointers this season. He needs to learn to shoot outside better like Doug Christie and Bruce Bowen.

    No Tmac, everyone steps up and has much better state. that's the team game.

    We should use Tmac in 4th Q to close the game for us. I like he come from bench.

    I like our game plan today. good sign

    Mike James is the Rockets best point guard if he ever gets consistent minutes.

    Adelman mentioned Jim Beruette when he talked about Tmac's Bird flu.

    This game is a blueprint for future games against fast, athletic teams. Yao needs to get the ball deep and shoot immediately. When he puts it on the ground or tries to create he gets into trouble.

    Come to think of it, that's pretty much how they beat Phoenix last time I think.

    How can you tell? I did not see Battier is playing better with T-mac and Brooks is fighting to get through his trouble with/without T-mac
