We might be without Ron 2nite, but Utah is banged up themselves (no boozer or milsap). Should be a competitive game, but Rockets need to find a way to pull this thing out....We should be able to dominate the paint.
all I can is "IN RON WE TRUST"......Rockets escape in double OT after leading most of the game. On torn ligaments and all Ron Ron delivers in the clutch in the 2nd overtime after Rick Adelman realized posting up Yao was no longer working. Ron Ron comes through by taking it straight to the hole, and creating for others. The crowd chanted "Ron Artest" wildly, because they like me recognized the HEART this man had out there on the floor last night.................Houston would never do that for McLady (who sat again last night)...........My complaints from last night are mainly with Rick's subbing patterns once again. Aaron Brooks was having a good game yet they sat him the 4th period and both over times for a cold shooting Rafer. And TWO times Rick made a bad decision by taking Yao out on defensive possessions at the end of the 4th. Yao was playing pretty good defense all night, and his length made a difference under the basket. Unfortunately Rick decided to pull Yao on both plays, and on both plays Utah got 2 easy layups. Overall it was a good hard fought victory, that the team can hopefully build off of.
