That's what happens when you don't puss out at the sight of Shaq. Spurs should take notes.
53-41 and there are still 3:07 left till the half. Adleman is going deep into the bench and playing Aaron Brooks and Novak. Man, I don't think the Rockets are weak from their bench at all. Lot of weapons. I just hope we can make up for the loss of Yao in a seven game series.

Well, just beware, no lead is safe with an offensive minded team like the Suns.
I actually hope you guys lose, the Rockets are the easiest matchup for the Spurs in the 1st round.
Well that's what everyone thinks. I don't know of a single playoff bound team that doesn't want to draw a shorthanded Rockets squad. But yet, they keep winning playing beautiful team basketball. I'm not saying we have the best athletes but this squad is really deep and Adleman has a beautiful offensive plan.
Oh I wasn't knocking the Rockets at all. I think they are a supringly great team without Yao. They continue to play great defense and Rafar Alston is having a career year.
I just think without Yao, it's a much easier matchup for the Spurs. That doesn't mean I don't think it's going to be a sweep or anything.
And for the record, I actually think given the right matchup, the Rockets have a decent shot at getting out of the first round if all goes well.
I agree with you. The Spurs matchup a lot better without Yao. I'd have to give the advantage to the Spurs. Yao gives Duncan all kinds of fits defensivly. I think they kinda cancel each other out when they play defensively and Yao is impossible to stop with his height.
It's like when you played your older brother and he's six inches taller than you..that's really tough.
59-47 Rockets lead at the half.
1) Rox without Yao are much easier for the Spurs. I don't know if any other team can say this, as the Suns are finding out.
2) STAT is an amazing offensive player. Yet Scola/Landry/Hayes have scored just as much against him, while also hitting the boards. Your worth to a team is not great if all the good stuff you do on one end of the court is COMPLETELY negated at the other.
71-57 now with 4 min to go in the 3rd.
and Stat has suddenly gone cold too now, while Scola keeps proving that he was the biggest mistake ever by the Spurs FO.
What Adelman should do is get all his big men in foul trouble. Then Pop will bench Duncan because he'll be worried about Small Ball matchups.
Suns getting their azzes handed to them right now.
ing Suns just beat this ing HOU team and get out of the #6 spot. I don't want to see us face the Suns without Bynum. It's almost worth it to lose every game from here on out to get the #5 seed and play UTA.
Amare has 35 and 8. Amare for MVP!!!!
Hopefully this thread can jinx the Rockets...
Ok I suck

lol Amare's the only offense the Suns got
The worst thing the Rockets could do is start winning these games because it almost guarantees them the #5 spot against UTA which is a sure-fire 1st round exit for them.
^ as in lose and meet the Spurs or Lakers????
plus I am not so sure that they are better off without Yao against the Jazz. Whatever he did to them on offense last year, he gave back to Boozer on defense so maybe now they can actually play D on the whole Jazz team. Plus they still got no one to put on TMac.
Where's Battier?
Don't tell me the Suns are getting their ass kicked by a Yao and Battier less Rockets.
Yep, that's what is happening. 6:24 to go and Rockets are still spanking the Suns.
92-77
Landry, Scola and Brooks are making a huge difference. Who woulda thought that three rookies would make such a difference.
I just really don't want the Lakers to have to face the Suns in the 1st round. Bynum has been huge for us against them this season and without him playing the playing field got lowered considerably.
Holy crap, Battier was out? Props.
This game is over...lead is too big now.
