    Sorry, guys, my Internet was screwed up for the whole of yesterday and this afternoon, so I wasn't able to get on JBB and make a preview. As of now, the Rockets are down 4 at halftime against the Pacers, 42-38. Not any stat really stands out, but T-Mac has 16 right now, and Yao has made a nice start, 8 points and 4 rebounds so far. Hopefully we can rebound from the Memphis loss and get a win before going into Orlando to boost our morale.

    My prediction is that the Rockets win by 6 with a big night from McGrady.

    T-Mac had a T-Mac game. Yao Had a good game and actually played 41 mins. Sura had 10, juwon had 9 and there wasnt much else.

    Only 2 bench points. Thats not gonna win games.

    I think the rockets are just tired right now. They played 4 games in 5 nights so I think that also played a role in this loss.

    Orlandos next and its in orlando. I cant wait because its the 1st game back for tmac and the 1st full game i get to see of Stevie. Hopefully the rockets can break the 2game losing streak with a win over Orlando.

    This was a bad game for us. The scoring was very low for both teams and the shooting for us was really bad. We went 1 for 13 from the 3 pt line with Wesley scoring the only 3. We really cant win games with only 2 points from the bench.

    The only bright spots from this game was Tracy and Yao. TMac was getting his usual numbers while Yao did well to get 21 and 9.

    With the Magic coming up next I hope we improve from our showing today. Hopefully it will be a good game on both ends on the court for us.

    You know what i realise

    Sura's pass to Yao for the dunk was the first pass to Yao from him since ever.
    I think the Rockets are a bunch of ballhogs and not sharing the ball and they are worse than Francis and Mobley.

    No. Living in Canada, it's hard to get Rockets games on TV, but it was on last night. Normally I stay up to date on nba.com. And rocketthruster, although I don't have an exact example, there is no way that Sura has never passed to Yao before. I don't get your standpoint; are you a Rockets fan or just a Yao fan?

    Tough loss for the Rockets. They've played 4 games in 5 nights, so it definitely took a toll on their gameplay. However, I was really happy with Yao's playing. Of course, since there isn't a dominant center on the other team, he should be doing this, I'm nevertheless happy with his playing. He played 41 minutes, didn't manage to pick up that many fouls, and added rebounds and 21 points to his game. Nice game for him, just hope that he keeps it up for the Orlando game. McGrady brought his usual game- not great shooting percentage but managing to rack up a bunch of points. However, I really don't know what happened to our bench. I'm guessing their just way too tired and aren't focusing when their out there. Hopefully, they won't be playing that way against Orlando, or else we would be in trouble.
