Yao Ming eating babies early.

 

[Fawzi83]

Is the cow bell back?

 

[Trip]

You need to front Yao, at least early in the game.

Artest is on Roy, Yao's on fire.

 

[Fawzi83]

We look horrible

 

[BasX]

Yao Again!

 

[Minstrel]

If they don't front Yao, Yao is going to kill single teams.

 

[BasX]

Brooks makes it 9-2

 

[BasX]

Blake got fouled, no call.

 

[Sedatedfork]

We are the home team aren't we?

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

Fuck.

 

[BasX]

Early TO by Nate.

 

[Minstrel]

Not getting calls at home. This is going to be a fun series. :/

 

[Fawzi83]

Bring in Oden, Pryz is getting owned

 

[theprunetang]

I kind of expected this. Once we let the nerves settle, we will be fine.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

nerves. Batum is invisible so far.

 

[yakbladder]

Patience. Just need to get rid of the jitters. Yao will cool down. They need to focus on getting him to commit fouls, although the refs will apparently only call first-degree homicide - second degree is just a warning.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Not getting calls at home. This is going to be a fun series. :/

Predicting Greg comes in and breathes on someone and still gets a foul even in this setting.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

changing blazers jersey.

 

[Sinobas]

Well, so much for all that fanfare. And we wouldn't even be playing the Rockets if the NBA had decent referees.

 

[illmatic99]

There goes that defensive strategy.

 

[Brittany_Loves_LamarcusA]

i have a headache im so nervous. I hope they pull it together

 

[BasX]

Good drive by Roy

 

[BasX]

Portland looks to have settled down.

 

[LameR]

Blow it open Roy.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Wow this is scrappy.

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

BRANDON fucking ROY!
