Great pass by Hawes inside to JT!

Poor, very poor defense by K-Mart. Battier took the pass on the right side of hoop and just flipped it in with no D whatsoever. A little slow to computer as I think it was Houston's third or fourth basket in the game

when I watch Yao play I wonder why he doesnt score 50 ppg ..
maybe thats cause I watch him play the kings..

Nice D by Beno, staying in front of Alston (who he's bigger and stronger than) all the way to hoop on drive, getting help in there from some of our bigs - rebound for breakaway at other end with K-Mart layup. Houston calls timeout!

The minute Thomas goes in he throws one of those stupid kinda of a hook but not a hook shot

Sweet, 10pt 2nd quarter... no not for a player, for our whole team!
At the half, the Rockets are on a pace to score 78. We haven't held an opponent to 78 points or fewer since Feb. 8 2007, when we held the Bulls to 33% from the field and beat them 86-77 at Arco.

If the Rockets only score 78 we probably lose
That's Houston's game. Grind it out in the half court. Get it in to Yao in a defensive, buckets hard to come struggle for 4 quarters. Last game they lost to Milwaukee 124-112 - not their type game at all.

we suck... 10 points in the 2nd quarter... horrible.
Making the extra move actually worked for Hawes this time!

Not as bad as Kings at Cleveland (under Muss) when they played Purple Haze (Hendrix) to the beat in blowout... "Purple Haze all around, don't know if I'm up or down, acting funny, don't know why..." yada yada

Has anyone noticed with BJax and Beno on the court at same time the offense really moves a helluva lot. They went on a real nice run with those two operating. Oh well, maybe it's just Rockets slacking up a bit at the end.

What a shocker.
My well-oiled machines happen to work better without a wrench shoved in it as well.

LOL! Thanks for the laugh, needed it after that game.
I did notice how much the ball moves with Bjax and Beno on the court. JT looked better tonight, I think he'll be a really nice player once he can get the foul problem under control. Artest and Battier are hard to play against when they're both on the court at the same time, problem was they were guarding two of our top scorers (Salmons/Kmart/Cisco) and it made it harder for us this game. I think its partially the reason why our bigs were semi effective tonight and when BJax/Udrih were on the floor passing away our offense was scoring again
