brijonmang Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Yeah, the Rockets are caught up on this crazy idea of playing DEFENSE! What are they thinking? It's good to see the Rockets get back on track...hopefully we can stay healthy this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Tracy McGrady and YAO kick butt yet again, beating the Wizards 114-109. If you didnt see tonights game, it was a good one!!! Get well soon McGrady !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Tracy McGrady and YAO kick butt yet again, beating the Wizards 114-109. If you didnt see tonights game, it was a good one!!! Get well soon McGrady !! When the Rockets are clicking, they're almost unstoppable. I just got done reading ESPN The Magazine's article on Dwight Howard. Shaq said soemthing like he's gonna be the next great center. No doubt he will be one of them, but... Yao is the man. I have my doubts though that Tracy will be healthy all season. Maybe we should make the trade for Iverson, seeing that Bonzi is obviously never gonna suit up, one of the greatest mysteries of the NBA.

houstonmacbro Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 yeah, i love tMac, but he is not too healthy most of the time. i was thinking the same thing about AI ... come to houston where you are really needed, and prolly would be loved by the fans.

texas911 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Yet Yao still gets no repect. I was watching the ESPN highlights and all they talked about was Gilbert Arenas. They only mentioned Yao at the end, even though he dominated the Wizards in the 4th. Even the crowd ohhhed and aaahed everytime he made a shot (he didn't miss one in the 4rth). Why, because he's not from the US? Or because he's Chinese? Or because he plays in Houston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Yao is way overdue for some respect. The man is a great ball player and a remarkable individual. Coming to a strange land without knowing the language and customs and in a few short months--speaking the language without his interpreter and taking part in the American Dream/way of life--all while playing a good game Props to Yao!

tierwestah Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 man friday and thursday's losses were heartbreakers. The Rockets led the lakers by as much as 21 and they still allowed them to come back and beat them by about 12 points. I could tell K. Bryant was trying to keep from laughing. I think the Rockets need a new coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to know that Yao is almost completly deaf in his left ear.

But, perhaps, it cuts down on the enemy's crowd noise. I love the Rockets. I just don't know about T-Mac. I wish him well, but injuries have been fatal to Houston teams in the past. And at 27 years of age. Did I say 27? Eh??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijonmang Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 There Rockets thoroughly whipped those neighbors to the West at their place for the first time in 8 years I think last night. That deserves some respekt right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProHouston Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yao left today's game with a bone bruise. If he's out even a few games, we're done. We're already half a team without T-Mac, Bonzi is starting to fill the gap, but with Yao gone, we have no chance. I hate injuries, why do my teams always have to deal with injuries?

DJ V Lawrence Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yao is out for a minimum of six weeks.It was painful to watch. Basketball aside, leg injuries ain't fun. I hope he fully recovers before he gets back on the court, and doesn't rush it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProHouston Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yao is out for a minimum of six weeks.That's the season folks. We might as well just roll up the Toyota Center floor now. There's no way that we're going to stay in contention with T-Mac and Yao out. We all said it before the season started, "if the Rockets stay healthy, they're going to be something special." Well, once again, the Rockets get screwed by the injury bug.Can we get anything for Bonzi if we trade him now? He's not worth anything to us with the other 2 down. My focus has officially shifted to the Aggie basketball team, Gig' em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) Don't let the door hit you on the way out.Seriously people, isn't Houston called "Clutch City." Rising above tough times?!? Go watch those Rocket videos I posted, and just hope for the best.The Texans beat the Colts 27-24 by the way.

DJ V Lawrence Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Congrats to Mutombo passing Kareem as 2nd on the all-time blocked shots list against Kareem's old team, the Lakers! Congrats also for giving the Lakers their worst loss of the season!Also, Webber just became a free-agent. Should the Rockets consider him, or are we already championship bound?

lockmat Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Rockets are finishing games with a suicide killer instinct these days.People know Yao is out, hardly care that Bonzi is out, and forget that Kirk Snyder is out. I don't think people realize what we'll actually be like once we have all those pieces back. We're gonna be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProHouston Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm so happy that T-Mac came back. I thought our season was over when Yao went down and T-mac was still out. Now that T-Mac is back to carry us until Bonzi and Yao return, we have a chance to stay contenders until their return, then we'll be championship contenders!
