That was a pretty good game - but without Yao, it just did not feel the same. But a win is a win and I applauded the effort of Ron Artest, Scola, Battier, and perhaps Wafer. I guess AB has hit a rookie-wall, as they say. Hopefully, he will come out of it soon.

I wish I knew. He was a big-time scorer in college, like Von Wafer.
Definitely part of it is psychological. –John

What do you think the issue with Brooks is? I wasn't surprised to see him playing questionable defense so much as seeing his offensive collapse lately. He just got something in his head?

The Rockets needed them badly. All of them. T-Mac, Ron and Scola. It is never easy going to place like Auburn Hills, getting a win there.

I think Scola’s contribution was more crucial as in his case, he was stepping in for Yao. He did that last season when Yao’s was out. The Rockets went on a 20 games unbeaten run.

Will there be able to emulate such feat again? Tomorrow against the Knicks much of that will be answered.
