Big ups to Jimmy Jackson who was a great role player, he chipped w/ 14 points, 4 assists, 8 boards Taylor had 9 points, 7 boards Howard had 11 points, 9 boards off the bench but only shot 4-16 MUTUMBO WAS A BEAST ON D. He had 7 boards and 6 blocks, and was heavily contesting everything inside. Yao had 8 points and 4 boards in only 22 minutes, fouls hurt him alot. Fouls hurt everyone alot as a matter of fact. Ming and Mutumbo had 5 each, Taylor had 6 Tmac carried the team w/ 30 points (only shot 8-19 though), 4 reb and nine assists. All in all a great win for the Rockets!

Congrats on the win from a Grizzlies fan

YES! 2 game winning streak (against West Coast teams I might add).

Yao Ming: 33 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists
Tracy McGrady: 23 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blk

^^^^^^^^
These are the type of stats I like seeing from the stars. If they can pull off some form of this nightly, I see big things in our future.

Howard is still struggling to make shots (only 2 of 8) infact alot of the team was tonight... Taylor (2 of 7), Jackson (3 of 12), and also Ward (4 of 11) but it should be noted that he made key shots when they counted to force OT. all 11 of his attempts were from 3pt.

All in all this was a game that showed how Tmac and Yao can definately carry the team if they both play good.

That's sad... he had 12, 6, and 7 in the little time he played and was easily on pace for a potential triple double. I hope he's alright, it doesn't sound too bad, but if either Yao or Mac go down for a long period of time, we're gonna be in alot of trouble. I just hope he comes back soon and we get word of how severe the injury is sometime in the near future.

There's a possibility that T-Mac will be playing in tonights game against the New Jersey Nets. Right now, it's a "game time decision". I want to see him play, I'm sick of losing, but then again, is McGrady really needed to beat the Nets??

Should he play or rest? We'll know soon enough.
