Houston Rockets @ New Jersey Nets

[NOMAM]

Yao looked pretty relaxed there at half time.

Yao looked pretty relaxed there at half time.

What could be more relaxing that the knowledge that your entire country is watching your every move at that exact moment?

Seriously though, it's like a home game for him.

 

[Malorkayel]

The only one exposing himself tonight is Najera. Those shorts are WAY too tight...

lol, you know what they say about Mexicans.

 

[ly_yng]

[race-baiting] I don't. What do they say about Mexicans? [/race baiting

 

[NJ-VC-AI]

The Rockets aren't doing anything spectacular. It's just the Nets beating themselves. Giving up second chance points, committing stupid fouls, getting beaten by blow bys. They're pratically giving points away. Hard to be any team playing like that .

 

[Mr. J]

Trent Hassell with the jumper! Hey, maybe the Nets can get back into this.

 

[ly_yng]

Man, I get a tingly whenever Marv talks about penetration...

That was a joke, but Mexicans like to dress sexy all the time.

I disagree. The Rockets are really good at making the team they're playing look bad. The Spurs used to do the same thing all the time.

[Malorkayel]

Hassell doing it all!

 

[ly_yng]

Nice!

 

[ly_yng]

Nice closeout by Brook.

 

[Malorkayel]

LOL! Najera? that you?

 

[ly_yng]

Ugh, Yiiiiiiiii.

Hits a nice shot, the crowd reacts, and he loses his man down the court.

 

[NOMAM]

It seems the Rockets don't mind giving up long 2's. It seems that shot is always there. Nets just aren't hitting many.

 

[ly_yng]

Ugh, not a strong closeout by Yi...

 

[Mr. J]

Aaron Brooks is having a field day with the Nets Swiss cheese defense

 

[ly_yng]

Hah, Lopez is not helping himself with the Tim Duncan comparisons if he wants to try and learn that off-glass move...

 

[NOMAM]

That play where Yi got the 3. They should keep running it more. A lot more.

 

[NJ-VC-AI]

Harris is getting owned defensively.

 

[NOMAM]

This game was competitive for what? 30 seconds?

 

[NOMAM]

I feel like I'm watching an Olympic game with the team USA vs Angola.

 

[NJ-VC-AI]

This game was lost the moment Harris gave up that 4 point play..

 

[NOMAM]

Nets can't make a sustained run. Nets go on a small 4-0 run. Rockets come back with 4 points.

 

[nets1]

why is nagira shooting 3's?

 

[NOMAM]

Most of the games the Nets got blown out in I think it happened in the 2nd half. I think this is one of the few blowouts where it was over in first few minutes.

 

[NJ-VC-AI]

The Nets are flat out getting outworked. Hopefully they have a better showing tommorow. AWAY from the izod.

 

[NOMAM]

Nets only need 6 three pointers to tie the game!

 

[AhLian]

Rockets are just far too superior in terms of defense. Battier and Artest, what luxury. Not to mention Yao's defence on Lopez tonight and Scola's on Yi.
