Jesus! Burke is hitting shots, too! :)

Don't let Burke shoot anymore. I want 100 before the end of the third quarter! ;)

Why is raja bell in, and not dijon, w/ a 45 point lead. I know we've blown some games, but i doubt any lineup would blow this.

No kidding. TNT just said how if we didn't even score in the 4th, we would win by 10 points. :)

I was thinking the same... I was us to blow out more to break franchis history.

Sorry, I have to say it again... Burke sucks. He is slow, predictable and again...slow. I don't know how to describe him but 1.) he can't finish with his side 2.) when he shoots, it's awkward 3.) he is not fast enough to defend.

Instead of giving mins to Burke, why don't we let Skita play?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'd love to hear the Rockets fans' explanation for this, since they seemed convinced that this would be an easy win for their team.

Yea, Suns don't play any defense. lol

Can't think of a better way to head to the break.

I couldn't watch the game, but who took the primary assignment on McGrady?

It never ceases to amaze me how a guy as big as Yao can get b****slapped and manhandled around the paint by guys so much smaller than him. Nice to see us going into the All Star break on such a high note:thumbup:

Marion with some help from Raja

Okay cool, thanks. Nice to see Marion come up big defensively against an All-Star wing.

It really shows just how much the center position has fallen when Yao is starting on the All-Star team.

The best comment was during the post game with TNT -- they showed Swift twisting his ankle, and Ernie Johnson says, ".. and to add injury to insult..." I liked that comment quite a bit.

I also don't get how they made such a huge deal about McGrady going through personal problems... what was that about? They all but said he is going through depression... at least I felt that way listening to it... That's the trouble with blowouts, announcers have nothing to talk about, so they make big deals out of small tangential info...

It is remarkable how slowly it is dawning on people that big, slow teams are going to have a problem with the Suns pace. The biggest quarter the Suns had was against the Heat and the Rockets are even slower.

Right now, the only way to beat the Suns is to go small and hit jump shots. Most teams are not capable of doing that.

Yao is highly overrated... shouldn't have been selected, at least as a starter.
