Four new themes tonight, which changed things from Game 1: 1. That whole fronting Yao Ming thing works. Tonight he ended up 3-6 from the floor, and the Rockets often just didn't know how to get him the ball. 2. Ron Artest is not as effective on Brandon Roy as he once was, and it seems Battier is the better Rocket at containing Roy. 3. LaMarcus Aldridge can now score against Houston. 4. Rick Adelman was out of timeouts down the stretch.

And also, on a slightly off topic question but, is it me, or is the "tell them what they've won," the worst shtick of all time?
