Major shout out to all my guys for getting it done last night and throughout the series against Portland. They played hard and physical all series, and they definitely earned this one. What really made the difference in the series was their commitment to defense and to playing team basketball. That was as complete of a team effort as you are going to find, and I couldn’t be more proud of everyone on the squad. Everybody took their games to the next level too. Ron did a great job of slowing down and hounding Brandon Roy all series, and that’s no easy task. Scola, Brooks, and Battier took their games to the next level too and Yao did what he does best: dominate the paint and put pressure on the other team’s big men. Portland is a good young team, with a lot of talent, so beating taking them down is something to be proud of.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it to the game last night as my doctors advised against the travel and stress it would take to be there. That decision was made even more frustrating when the Bulls vs Celtics game went into 3 overtimes, making me miss the entire 1st half of the game!!!!! Couldn’t TNT have put our game on TBS or even NBA TV or something? It’s hard enough to sit at home while your team is playing, but to not even be able to see the first half? Man that was frustrating….. Anyone else out there have that issue when trying to watch our game?
Anyway, again major shout out to my guys for taking it down. I’m sure people will want to make a big deal about the Rockets finally getting out of the first round, and doing it without me, but that’s the last thing on my mind and the least of my worries. I know I’ll be back and have my shot to advance in the playoffs, and for now I’m enjoying the ride watching my teammates. Next up is the Lakers. I think we matchup pretty well and I know coach will have us ready. Lets go Rockets!

我要为队友们昨晚和整个系列赛的优异表现喝彩。他们打得非常出色，他们完全值得拥有这次胜利。在这个系列赛中他们打出了防守和团队篮球，这就是你要去寻找的一种团队效应，我为场上的没一个人感到骄傲。每个人都发挥了很好的状态。RON在整个系列赛对ROY的干扰和阻碍做得实在太出色了，这不是一件简单的事。scola，brooks和battier也发挥得相当优异，而yao则做到了最好：通知内线并给对方的内线大个子施加压力。波特兰是一支年轻拥有着很多天赋的球队，所以打败他们是值得骄傲的。
遗憾的是我没能够赶上（观看）最后一场比赛，因为我的医生建议我留在那儿来缓解旅行所带来的压力（这句似乎有问题...）。让我更郁闷的是KAI和公牛竟然打了3个加时，让我错过了火箭上半场的比赛！！！！难道TNT就不能把我们的比赛放到TBS或者NBA TV去直播吗？球队有比赛而你只能呆在家里是非常煎熬的，何况是还看不到上半场的比赛,这实在太郁闷了......其他人看我们的比赛直播时遇到了那个问题吗？
无论如何，我为我的队友们喝彩。我知道人们将对火箭在没有我的情况下突破第一轮而小题大做，但我并不在意这些。我知道我会回来并在季后赛得到提升，而现在，我最大的享受就是看着我的队友们取得胜利。接下来将面对湖人，我认为我们已经磨合得非常好了，我也知道教练会让我们做好准备。加油，火箭！
