What a drought. The Rockets didn't score for more than 6 mins in the 4th allowing the Warriors to have a 14-0 blast. Good thing they were able to come back this time with pressure defense on the perimeter. I thought JRich would'nt miss after going 7 of 8 but thank God he finally misses those pressure shots when the Rockets needed a break. Good game by the Rockets. 6 players have scored in double figures. It's nice to see Luther Head performing well in the 4th. Those 2 threes certainly help bring back the momentum and he also have 7 assists. Bogans did well in replacing TMac but he got quiet in the second half scoring only 1 point.
The Rockets once agan fell into their old habits, The team was winning by a big margin but then they got really careless early in the 4th quarter and j-rich nearly pulverised the lead and what the hell was up with wesley? Yao was wide open and he completely ignored him, That is really bad ball I.Q and needs to change. Once again we have to troubleshoot the problems that keep plagueing this team time and time again otherwise all the best teams will eat the Rockets alive.
Unfortunately I cant watch rockets games in Ky. So i had to watch it play by play and bogans after those 12 points, he really didnt shoot much. Ya i actually thought they were gonna lose but i woulda loved to watch it on T.v
now I think we can safely say Bogans was a steal for the Rockets...Moochie never put up more than 10 points in any of his games this year. If Fitch and Lampe turn out good, CD made great (albeit small) moves this year for the future.
Well as long as we keep winning we can still make the playoffs and i still firmly believe that lampe will turnout to be something for us and i believe that if he works his butt off and earn jvgs respect some day he will step on the court becuz a big man wit his shot would definetly help and wow if we make playoffs this year the whole southwest division could be in the playoffs
As this gameflow chart illustrates, our major stumble occurred at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Interesting enough, the game started to turn back to our favor when JVG inserted Howard back in the game. The trend most of the season has been that the Rockets generally play better with Howard on the bench. But against GS, he had one of his best games of the year. His +/- was 10. I have to give him credit for this one.
Yeah I think bogans was big...tough on D...can hit the 3...and he's got a personality JVG likes. Sounds like a winner to me, he'll prolly play alongside McGrady and as his backup. At least we got one thing covered for next year.
Everytime Yao increases his stats, thr Rockets run into the Suns, which has resulted in losses and sub-par games by Yao. Hopefully JVG can come up with a new gameplan to beat the Suns on Monday.

That game is supposed to be one of our 6-7 great teams that we can lose to. But we can only lose 5-6 games, so we will have to beat teams like DAL, and SA to make the playoffs.
1-13 without TMac Its a start. Yao shows signs of more aggression down low, but I just hope it doesn't dissapear in this late push. Now is the time in his young career that he gain a lot of respect if he becomes this kind of force every night. Good start
wow yao has gotten very agressive this season.. hes been dunking when he posts someone up like shaq does.. i like that about yao now..hes been facialing people a lot these past games. hes also getting more rebounds thses games.. For t-mac i really feel sry for him.. first family issues then a death in his family.. Man we finally won a game without t-mac.. playoffs here we come 8th or 7th spot baby!.. Hopes up!

Yao Ming grabs 20+ rebounds it doesn't matter. Yao gets dunked on, and then they call him soft and overrated.
