Sook's keys to the game:
Yao has to look to dominate early, none of this

Get in Rafer's head so he thinks he is the man and shoot his low FG% + Watch him shoot that ugly floater

[Gummi Clutch]

My god KEELEY HAZEL...SO DAMN PERFECT

[Gummi Clutch]

oooWOWOWOWOWOW

:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow:wow

[Kai]

Yao is making Dwight his bitch.

[sook]

rockets can't buy a call but Brooks broke Alston's ankles lmfao

[Lars]

Wafer looks smooth as hell tonight, goddamn.

[sook]

This is exactly how mu8ch better Landry makes us. Teams can't front us, he'll dunk it on you or shoot it in your face

[sook]

Yea Wafer is like an offensive machine holy crap.

Why aren't the rockets getting any calls?

[Lars]

Officiating seems alright to me, havent seen anything too one sided.

[Kai]

Agreed. A lot on non-calls going both ways. It's great to see Landry back.

[sook]

Ron artest you idiot. Do you know what a shotclock is?

[Kai]

Well, it looks like we'll be able to pull away when both teams go to their benches. The starters are competing pretty well though.

[Roxsfan]

orlando sucks.

[Lars]

Looks like Adelman is trying to implement a solution to the fronting defense on Yao. They have tried 3 lobs to Yao.

[Lars]

I don't know if it is our defense or what, but the Magic just looked awful tonight.

[robbie380]

yawn...dwight howard put up a double double with 3 blocks but he was a non-factor. yao owns howard again...:sleep

[The Franchise]

Why is Orlando doing the fouling thing?

[The Franchise]

Yao stop collecting dumb fouls.

[GuerillaBlack]

Orlando extended this game longer than it needed to be with the fouling thing at the end.
