from 'Sheed. Nice job Ben, as well, both defending Yao and on the boards.

Don't know what's up with Dyess but Darko played well enough to take a few minutes away from him.

These Rockets look like us from the RC years. Clearly the P's had more talent but Houston was able to keep it close by slowing the game down to a halt. Without McGrady and Yao at the end, though, they had no one to get them a basket when they needed one.

Let's see what happens tomorrow. 'Sheed will have to play Nowitzki the way he did last year to give us a good shot.
