Is anybody watching this game? The Rockets are really destroying the Cavs so far and at the moment it doesn't look like that will change anytime soon. Yao Ming has been absolutely ridiculous. I didn't think the Rockets had a chance coming into this game. Maybe HCA isn't out of our grasp after all.

Go Rockets!

it sucks to say it but they really play better without TMac, is horrible defense was the reason we beat them earlier in the season. Tracy was on Pierce and he was lighting him up, then they put Artest on Paul, and TMac on Ray.... THEN RAY WAS LIGHTING HIM UP. Artest is a good player for that team. TMac is done.

I watched a bit of it.  Delonte looks terrible tonight.

Wade thinks the C's are the best in the East

Yup

Saw the 3rd Q.
Rockets are my sleeper pick to make noise in the west. Rockets are good team with or without Mcgrady cause of their defense. They have 2 of the best defenders in the league (Battier & Artest), and its hard to shoot over Yao. I wouldn't be surprised if they finally win a playoff series barring more injuries. Anyone notice Louis SCOLA, dude got game not athletic but very crafty.

Hoping suns crush the ladykers.

I wouldn't say he is done... I don't think he will ever win a championship in a demanding role because of his lackluster defense. Coming off the bench I think he could be a great 6th man though and possibly a champion. He's still a terrific offensive player when he isn't injury. Maybe a bench role, putting less pressure on his body is just what he needs.

Von Wafer is really becomming a great offensive player... I don't know anything about his defense though. I should have taken him or Yao in the player over/under like I was originally going to, but I decided to go with Z. What a terrible decision.

Did I hear right when the announcers mentioned that Ben Wallace has a broken right fibula?

Yes, a broken right something... I'm pretty sure they said fibula.

The rockets defense has been really really good in this game...
Ron artest/Shane Battier is a pretty killer defensive sf combo

Great Game from Ming, probably the best Ive seen him play in quite some time on both ends of the court, and a terrible game for Lebron, who actually just came up limping, ben wallace also broke his fibula

Rockets are better off without McGrady, that would be somehwhat hilarious if they get out of the first round

Houston plays much better when they go inside out starting the offense with Yao. Also Aaron Brooks looks pretty solid. He shot awfully tonight but seems to have a better stroke than Skip to my Lou.

Is it just me, or does McGrady hold this team back?  I was impressed with them tonight, particularly on the defensive end.  Bravo, Rockets...and thanks.    ;)

Psst... The Rockets are a much better team without McGrady. Outstanding play from Yao and Scola.

Contol the paint, win the game.  Happens every time.

As I said in the Celtics/Cavs thread last night, "the sky is not falling."

The Cavs will lose games.

We're back to where we were a couple days ago.
