    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting AznxBaller:</div><div class="quote_post">Great game for Houston. The basic reason why they won this game was because of hustle, energy, and aggressiveness. I watched the game on TV, and I definitely saw alot of things that I've liked- after missing a couple of jumpers, McGrady started to drive into the lane more, everyone were hungry on the offensive end kept having offensive rebounds, and Yao was showing some signs of nice low post skills. I mean, Yao even hit a twenty two foot jumper at the key- he should definitely be doing that more, not just foul down low. The only negative aspect of the game was probably McGrady's inconsistent shooting. What's up with this guy? I saw him take jumpers after jumpers when he continually missed. Although he did drive into the lane, he should be doing it more often to try and draw some fouls- kind of like what Steve Francis does. Overall, great game for Houston and I hope this win will put some confident in these players and let it carry over into other wins.</div>

    McGrady's jumper has been off, but he's also been getting to the basket much more the last few weeks than earlier in the year. But he needs to continue taking that jumper just to keep defenses honest. That's part of his game, and he is a streak shooter. When he gets it going, he can drop 3 or 4 three pointers in a row.

    Yeah, he wasn't really having a good night shooting wise. But luckily he still managed to get his points and got to the free throw line often enough. It's good that other players stepped up in the scoring department like Yao who only missed a few.

    I was really dissapointed that Sura didn't get the triple double but it was still a very productive night from him.

    <strike>Thats one of the stupidest posts i've read on this rockets forum, and i've read some stupid posts (not to name names, but you all know who i'm talkin 'bout) </strike>T-Mac left on bad terms with the Magic, Francis did not, infact he had no choice, he WANTED to stay here, do some research first and stop being so damn ignorant.

    Just because the magic fans do something we are not inclined to do the same thing, the situations were different.
