barkley plz kiss donkey ass..Yao is the man!! I'm amazed by his numberS!! I saw in the 3rd he had 4 fouls lol..so he must've had a monster 4th quarter with TMAC!!!
14 points 10 rebounds in the 4th alone. He played with passion tonight, and looked completely drained at times, but played through it. I'm very proud of him the last two games. I'm proud of them all. In fact the guys on Sports Radio 610 here in Houston said after the Seattle win "listen all you Rockets fan...if these guys get 3 out of 4 on this road trip, you need to meet them at the airport". Not only can they win 3, but they may win all 4, and if they do, you can catch me at the airport for sure.
Wow. This performance deserves a standing ovation by itself. Dominating performance especially in the 4th. And this brings our streak to 3 wins against elite teams. This has got to be our best performance these season in my opinion. Without a doubt Yao's best ever game I reckon. And McGrady was up for it as well. We're surging and if we keep this up, We're a team to be reckoned we've for sure. I can really see us making a run this year in the play offs.
so, it was like this, i couldn't watch this game, cus i'm in europe, yesterday and i was comparing the stats between the suns and the rockets, i was like, wau, they are much better. i was like: if the rockets don't get blown badly, then i would be happy. Then this morning i woke up and checked the result from NBA.com, I screamed for like:AHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA for 1min. OMFG my boy Yao was hot as #%?&!!!! And Mac was just being Mac putting up BIG number, can't believe my eyes 41 points in one quater!? I have nothing esle to say that: I'm really happy, and we are going deep in the play offs.
chazzo :When R2K release a BT files,Don't miss it. I'm glad to see Yao constantly shows his domination power and T-Mac keeps on fire,and the duo are getting bettter and better.
Man I didn't catch the game, but I came in last night from the movies and my pops told me we blew out the suns and Yao had 20 rebounds..........this completely shocked the hell outta me, great win for the rockets......I really like the guts of this team.............on a side note I like Charles Barkley, but he doesn't have the right to call anyone soft..........must I remind everybody that this is the same man who said that when he played the bulls in the '93 finals, that he knew his team was gonna lose.................so Mr. Barkley in the words of The Rock "Know your role and shut your mouth" and stick to analyzing the games like you're suppossed to do..............and how in the hell do they mention those duos without Tmac and Yao.............if I had a franchise to start as of this day and I had to pick one duo to build my team around, Yao and TMac would be my first choice............and I'm not sayin this just because I'm a Rockets fan. EDIT: okay I take part of what I said back..........the only other duo that I'd consider before Yao and Tmac would be Duncan and Parker......and that's mainly because of Duncan...........I wouldn't choose Wayde and Shaq, because Shaq is past his prime and only has a couple of years in the tank........and imo Yao and Tmac take elephant sized s#!%$ on those other duos <font color="red"><font size="-2">Please refrain from double-posting. Thanks.</font></font>

I remember that during the time he was practically guaranteeing the Suns would win, adamant that they were the better team. I remember he said that after that season he knew he wouldn't win a championship because there were people on the team complaining about contracts. McGrady and Yao are obviously one of the top duos in the game. If LeBron-Ilgauskus is included, than McGrady-Yao also have to be included. I mean, they were the only teammates who started on the all-star team. This was a very satisfying win, and the team looks to be really peaking right now. Though we shouldn't forget the impact that Marion's absence would have had. We outrebounded the Suns by like 20 which I thought was the real difference in the game, but a big part of that is their best rebounder wasn't on the floor. Offensively, McCarty partly made up for Marion's absence but he didn't provide the defense, rebounding, and athleticism on the break that Marion gives. Both the Suns and the Sonics simply can't handle Yao. Their best bet is to tire him out by running up and down the floor. I thought JVG did a brilliant job with his substitutions. He kept Yao in the game after he picked up a 4th foul early in the third, and the referees were extremely hesitant to whistle another foul on him, though there were quite a few opportunities to do so. The unsung hero of the game, in my opinion, was Mike James. Sura needs some time to get back into his groove, but James really excelled coming off the bench in the second half, scoring all of his 14 points in the last two quarters. He's so good at getting to the basket, and whenever he shoots from three I always feel like it's going to go in the basket. And he gives you great defense too. What an amazing pickup (the steal of the trade-deadline, if you ask me). And, wow, McGrady is playing unbelievably right now. He's over 50% in his last 5 games or so, and he's averaging over 30 in that stretch as well. I'd say he pretty much a shoe in to win Player of the Week honors this week. <font color="red"><font size="-2">Please use the 'edit' feature in the future. Thanks. ~Trip</font></font>
