D-Wade broke Snyder's ankles then finished it with a jumper. DAMN, the difference in picture quality between ch. 51 and ESPN remarkable. I can't believe how crappy the reception on 51 is, I know ESPN is HD, but damn. It makes the ESPN's 1 second delay wayyy worth it. Lovin' Novak's 3s. Four 3s til now. Battier had a nice game 10 points, 6 reb.
Great game. Vspan - 5 TOs.... still doesnt seem like he has a feel for the game yet. He took a step backwards this game. Yao - got blocked twice by Shaq on his spin around fade. Yao is getting more agressive but he isnt "overpowering agresssive"...yet T-mac - up and down game. Jump is off. Hopefully he gets back to how he played in the first preseason game by the start of the actually season. FT needs somework.... Novak - another solid game. 4-7 form downtown. Probally better shooter than JJ Redick? People say hes a one densional player, but look at the stat sheet he had 6 rebs. Look at his rebounding in the last few games--> not bad at all. He did a really nice job on Antoine Walker, who tried to post Novak up once he got in the game. 3 post ups and not prevail. Novak even drew an offensive foul. ESPN reports --> said Houston is a CONTENDER ! ! ! They said we addressed our issues and will be a dangerous team in the playoffs, assuming Yao and T-mac plays 75+ games.
Rockets win 96-71 Great game by us. Novak was killer from downtown yet again, 4-7. Lets hope he can do this in season games. novak is tight.
51's reception was bad (I'm still at work)....I didn't even get to see the game (except for a few plays). Is it just me or does Tmac seem a little sluggish on the floor?...I've yet to see any real explosiveness from him this preseason.

About 51's [crappy] reception. I heard it is better when you use an antenna, rather than Timewarner Cable. Not sure if it is true, but next time I see an antenna I will grab one since a lot of games are on 51 this season. It's gonna suck having to set up the antenna every time the game is on 51.
Yao had 5 turnovers as well, is the new ball effecting him too? And well, he did get over-powered by Shaq, but yet again, it is Shaq. He should be able to be aggressive of mostly all the centers in the league now. Steve Novak looked great out there. He was one the top shooters in this year's draft and he showed it with 4-7 from three-point land. He should become a threat off the bench this season if he keeps this up.
