    Yao only played 30 minutes, I wouldn't be that worried.

    Yao played well, Brooks showed up, i think its safe to safe to say the Vietnamese chick who was helping rafer shoot has quit her job and T-mac shooting 50% from the field is a nice surprise and Scola was relentless.

    Brooks played like a blackhole-level ballhogger on offense and played no defense at all. Really bad game. I guess that what Coach RA likes.

    Now Rockets have super talents, so they can always out score other teams, but the other teaam always can come back in a minute. Like the last two minutes, Brooks was definitely too relaxed.

    I still love coach JVG's game plan with smothing defense all game, desctroy others mentality. Slaughter the weak teams. Coach JVG is the best prepared coach as the players commented. Now nobody will scare Rockets because Rockets scare nobody.

    Well, he was driving left, and fundamentally speaking, you are supposed to take off with your right leg. As for what knee Mac had offseason surgery on, I have no idea.

    great game! I hope this is something the Rockets can really build on to gain some momentum and go into the play-offs smoking hot.

    Wrong game to complain about AB.

    Brooks' defense is probably underrated because of his size. His speed allows him to stay in front of the guy he's guarding.

    As for his offense he had some key buckets in there to keep the Rockets ahead. The game really wasn't as close as the final score might lead you to believe. The Rockets were guarding the paint and giving up shots on the perimeter.

    6 players had a blocked shot
    6 players had a steal
    90% from the line contributed from 7 players

    i didn't see the game but these numbers show a decent team effort

    I didn't watch the game but Jesus Christ, is Rafer going to apologize to the Rockets anytime soon? 1-7? Are you kidding me? Does he close his eyes when he shoots? I always see 1-9, 1-8, 2-11 and I really think he should come out and apologize to his teammates.

    he's "slowly" but surely getting better. the all-star break is coming up and with a soft schedule, tracy should get better during this stretch. watch out for him in march.

    he scored 16 pts in 28 minutes on good efficiency (better had he gotten some calls)

    Tyrus Thomas is young and athletic. Did you see those shots he blocked tonight?

    Let's just say the Rockets won this game on the free throw line by outscoring the Bulls 27-17. The Bulls will only look at this game saying they missed too many free throws (11 of 28) to win it while the Rockets would only miss 3 of 30.
