    If you can't write, at least learn to read. I didn't say you bashed Yao, I said you keep bashing the fans. LOL, is that your argument every time - calling people YOF's? It gets old you know, well not for someone who seems to be 8 years old. No wonder you're a rookie. I'm a loyal Rocket fan, thanks very much.

    OMG, this is too much. How can you say he is YOF? He is just trying to let us konw the importance of Yao when he was on court, which medias said little about. You are too sensitive and overreact to other people's points, especially about yao.

    Yet your first post was when Tracy was traded here. Quit denying it, TOF. If you don't like being called TOF, then stop calling other people YOF. Hypocrite.

    Well, blame the search engine. I had my buddy run up your post history and the first post was when T-Mac was a Rocket. Keep calling people names if that makes you feel better. :rolleyes:

    The only thing stopping Yao from taking over the league is his stamina.

    Man you TOF's and YOF's need to just quit it...

    did we forget the role players and bench players... played a big part too in the win...

    did we forget we won the game? if all you care about is stats...then...

    over at the Jazz boards they are talking about who did the crapiest job... Sloan, boozer, okur etc...

    I seriousy doubt any of them would be trying to compare or say one player got more attention then the other player... are we all still in preschool?

    true I saw some jazz boards where they had videos on the two slam dunks by boozer (over Yao)...

    but then most were talking about how Yao got into Boozers head....

    bottom line is both Tmac and Yao did what they were suppose to do.. and that was win a game...

    That is right.
    It is like when you are hungry and eat a burger, you still feel hungry then you eat another one. Now you feel full, so you say to yourself:" It is the second one made me full, why did I eat the first one?"

    Case closed my ass. I am not a YOF (neither TOF). But you were really disgusting. Without Yao, Rockets would have lagged by 20+ point, and the game would have been virtually over whatever TMAC did in the 2nd half.

    the reason i think beyond the stats that tmac gets the love is that "he makes his teammates" better. point blank. that's the aspect of tmac's game that everyone is enamored with right now.

    is it a coincidence that when tmac shot well, the team started shooting well. when tmac is involved, our offense flows smoother.

    that's part of tmac's game that no one cares about apparently and only look at the points he puts up. my goodness.

    yao is our scorer. he's our most efficient scorer. he's our anchor in the paint. and anyone who doubts that is stupid. w/o that, we won't be able to weather the storm v. teams who can score. but again, we have seen yao play well v. utah in the last game and he frst half and no one else plays well w/ him. that's not a coincidence either.

    yao will get his. tmac knows yao is dominant. that's why he says yao is the best big man in the league everytime someone is dumb enough to ask him that. and please, stop saying yao is the best center. it's a GIVEN now.

    BUT tmac will get his and help others get theirs. our role players are dependent moreso on tmac than on yao.

    that's why tmac is our engine. he is our sura this yr b/c when he has confident and shooting well, it's a given the rest will shoot well. outside of the mavs game earlier in the yr, i never saw tmac shot well and the team sucks.

    This team in YAO AND MAC- whether they suck or not, that is OUR Team.

    The sad part is that we will only go as far as Luther makes his shots, and Rafer does not freak out in the 4th quarter on crucial possession.

    Mac was poetry in motion in the 3rd quarter- the guy is a STUD- an unselfish STUD at that, that is NOT very easy to do.

    Battier / Chuck Hayes are our hustle guys- who play their hearts out.

    Juwan should NEVER be on the floor with YAO unless Chuck is in serious foul trouble. Let us wrap up game 2.

    BOTH Yao and TMAC were just what we needed yesterday.

    Yao: Did a great job of keeping us in this one. (he was the only reason we were in this game in the first half)

    TMAC: FInally clicked and won this one. (you can't argue with his 3rd quarter / 2nd half)

    Yao kept rockets in the game in the first half! Without him, I don't see a big come back if we were down by 20+

    man rafer needs to get credit for defending deron pretty good in the 2nd half while tmac was on harpring.

    and even though he shoots bad (it will hurt us if he doesn't improve), but he contributes w/ rebounds and assists.

    this is a TEAM. it takes 5. let's forget about the individual players. everyone who stepped on that court contributed to the win in one way or another.

    The Rox won, Yao was probably the biggest reason we kept in it in the first half as did the other players who helped contribute.

    In the second half, Tmac exploded and took the game to another level that only he and Yao could do. Yao played a great game throughout but Tmac played much better in the second half.

    Overall, Yao was the reason the game was in touching distance and with Tmac's help, the Rox went on to win the game.
