    We just handed the Clippers their easiest loss of the season and besides the 1st quarter and Landry's dunks, a boring game but that's always the case against the Clippers. Still we took care of business, unlike the Spurs, Hornets and Suns. If we can manage to be 4-2 playing the way we playing, we're not in that much trouble. Unless we're playing against the better teams of course.

    Some positives:
    * For the doubters, Landry's fine and doing well
    * Scola's shooting touch is back
    * Yao got some blocks
    * FTs
    * Barry

    Negatives:
    * Rafer clanking
    * T-mac exhausted from Portland's game
    * Yao possible injury and not going enough touches
    * Artest FG%
    * Motionless offense

    I think we can sort them all out as time goes.
    Btw, did Skip have a surgery on his hammy this off reason? I'm kinda confused why he clanking and what gives with his 3pt shot? He just shot an airball in the clip game. God dang it. Meanwhile I still can't see any rotating defense and transitional one, what in God's name did Yao look at when running backcourt ?

    I Met Daryl Morey last night! He was sitting in section 101, and to get out of the arena at the end of the game, he had to walk out with all of the fans. I told him what a fantastic job he was doing and shook his hand.

    it was so cool to see him with the average fans. he was talking to some guests he probably got tickets for...

    the landry dunks were the only thing exciting about that game, that and the artest three pointers

    I'll make this simple

    When Yao plays like an MVP and the best player on the team, Rockets win, when T-Mac plays like the best player on the team. The Rockets lose.

    5 players in double figs. A very good sign for this season. It's not on just one or two people anymore; it's on everyone.

    Tmac can take a night off with this team and we can still win. I like the spreading around the wealth and going with the hot hand. Scola in the first half, Artest and Landry in the 2nd. It's nice to see people other than Yao and Tmac having the high team scores.

    He had to be extremely tired from carrying the team against Portland less than 24 hours earlier. Also, when he was on the bench he looked sick or something.
