    what the hell was yao thinking? we still had time, brooks was open.

    your a basketball player, you should know what to do in that situation.

    and kobe bryant is ridiculous.

    Atleast we know we can hang with the big boys. We just need Tmac and Artest healthy

    Good effort.

    A lot of positive things to take out of this game.

    Yao's 2 pointer is understandable, the play wasn't working and he knew the shot clock was dwindling, so he panicked.

    Oh well, great effort by a lot of the players.

    If only, if only... Wafer should have had more shots... Several boneheaded plays down the stretch, but it was a good game. The Rockets gave all they had. Props to the team.

    Rafer is a walking definition of brick.

    Enjoy him!

    I don't think I've ever seen a Rockets team (in recent memory) more ill-equipped to execute a play coming out of a time out. Way too many mental mistakes.

    And that lies squarely on the shoulders of RA.


    And Von Wafer had been shooting lights out all game, yet it was Rafer he was taking the shots down the stretch? Baffling.

    It's pretty hard to beat a team with 18 men on it. The foul shot differential along with a few bad decisions cost us this game.

    Sigh, the Rockets get more rebounds, shoot a higher fg % and get more bench production.

    What's the margin of difference? Foul shots.

    I always thought yao was smart; even if we made that shot we lose.

    You DON'T WIN GAMES with Yao and Rafer in the 4th. Those guys ALWAYS fail...

    Sad, but pretty good game, I belive. Still, we need T-Mac, I mean a real T-Mac and a healthly Artest.

    Just like the Utah game, Rafer got blue balls when it came time to shoot high pressure free throws. I hate to say it, but he's the #2 representative of the culture of choking on this team.

    GJ by the team overall. Great heart and passion coming out and going 5v8.

    Adelman's Rockets = Sacramento Kings II

    Got screwed by Lakers' refs and then choked at the end. :mad:

    I love the players' efforts but I HATE this game.
