He is playing pretty good, like every other guys in the team. But he would have been even better without the jumpers.

He behaved very well in Game 3. But all of a sudden, he forgot what he should not do.

There is nothing wrong with the loss of the shooting feeling for a while. But there are other ways to compensate for it.

Ron, do not get me wrong. You are playing pretty good. You have made the difference for the Rockets this season.

The best luck for Game 5.

Like everyone else, the addrenaline from the win probably kept you going even after the game. Oh how sweet it is. The Yao Ming led Rockets will finally win a playoff series. Oops I spoke too soon. But I really feel confident that we will not lose 3 straight games dammit!. We are just not the same old Rockets anymore. John I definately saw a difference in Yao's game yesterday. He followed what Adleman suggested, which was not to waste so much energy fighting for post up position and just wait to let the game come to him. Last night I saw Yao being more patient waiting for the ball. He just stood his ground and just got into position when the chance came. And I loved how he skys for the rebounds now. His presence is definately showing now. A game high 44 minutes for a big man, that's just incredible. What can I say about Lowry and Landry. They are just clutch role players. Battier has been tremendous. Running around to stick Roy AND he nails daggers. Just a couple of things worry me, and that is Artest and Brooks. Artest is still tossing up contested shots late in the game clock and I feel that is bogging down the offense a little bit, and Brooks is missing too many late game free throws which I felt wouldve iced the game earlier. But regardless I am proud to say that we are finally turning the corner and are learning from our mistakes that have haunted us all season. Props to you for the late game report as always.
