    I now believe that both Europeans and Americans can play great basketball and that the addition of Spanoulis will bring great trumph to our Rockets team! He will be the spark that has been missing for so many seasons and will light the fire that will take the Rox to another Championship- What do you think? :p

    How can this possibly be racist. An oriental person observing that both white and blacks are now able to play to a high standard. I never mentioned races!

    You don't need Spanoulis to convince you the relationship between color of skin and the game.

    BUT, from today's game, as the announcer said repeatly, if you are a Rox fan, you would be smiling. I know I am!!! :)

    You left out the yellow, brown and red man, that's why it is racist!

    Seriously where have you been? I believe there have some great ballplayers of many races and nationalities for a while. SO your comment sounds stupid or racist.

    After watching today's game, I just can't wait to see V-Span and Yao play the pick and roll! Can you guys imagine how it'll look like?

    his shot looked good to me. he seemed the the heart of the team. Hopefully Yao will upgrade his pick'n'roll attack. truly the silver lining for rocket fans. I hope he take that confidence into the gold medal game. I think he should start.

    V-Span must be an insomniac, he's got some heavy duty punching bags under those eyes, looks like a blood hound.

    He can play NBA level as he showed today. Now my concern is his shooting. He needs to improve his 26% outside shooting.
    We need to get Yao invovled PnR with him. He hits the roller perfectly with that laser pass of his. Tmac and roll with him too.

    What is going to be interesting will be watching JVG develop him defensively. The guys absolutely looks for contact and creates a lot of it. I would imagine that as a rookie he will commit a lot of fouls and even foul out of some games. But I would bet that Van Gundy turns him into a rough Eric Snow type defender. He's got the physicality and the aggressiveness. He just needs good coaching there.

    You thought whites or blacks were incapable of playing great basketball before? You can't actually mean that.
