    How the .... did Yao get shut down by a 19yr old rookie who is fresh off a knee surgery in the 2nd half?????

    I just don't understand. If Yao is the most dominate center in this league and the kid defended him is a frigging 10th pick rookie who is recovering from a surgery, shouldn't Yao take control of the game instead of going super soft mode the entire 2nd half...

    Didn't see Yao play with a lot of energy tonight. Didn't jump. Hands were down. Wasn't rebounding well or shooting well. I guess it all culminated with his very first NBA ejection.

    Yao had foul trouble and Tracy revved up.

    Still Yao had 30 and 12 or something to that effect.

    They also changed their defense.

    This is a game we win easily later in the year.

    We missed Stevie tonight.Right now we're having tpo slug it out until we get down the system and finish off the roster.


    OMT....I'm not one to normally rank on the officiating,but it was atrocious tonight.

    did you watch the game? the kings made adjustments to stop yao and let others beat us. and our guards could not pass the ball to the big guy.

    Well, ask the corrupt referees why they're so corrupt and gamble on games that even the FBI is investigating on this matter. As a matter of fact, this game has tons of evidence of NBA corrupt referees.

    Basically all Spencer Hawes did was pulling, shoving, grabbing, tangling on Yao. Where is the fricking foul?!??!?! Yao gets roughed up and no fouls were called, people running at Yao and draws a ticky tack foul on Yao. I mean wussup with this crap?

    China TV stations is gonna block all NBA access and games if this crap doesn't stop. You can bet on it!

    Yeah, that 29, 11 and 2 he went for sucked. I think every 5 in the league does that on a nightly basis.

    I make my second call for a lock.

    How the hell can you say Spencer Hawes shut him down when he score 8 points in the final period? If u are a real YOH u can say Yao dont know what to do when he got double team, Yao cant do nothing against jump shooting Centers, or Yao cant stay out of foul trouble...
    Please post some intellegent posts please

    Exactly.

    Tmac wanted to score more. Yao wasnt agressive at all, in awe of what Tamc could do.

    This team is in trouble if Tmac is take jump shots 5 times in a row, even if he makes all of them.

    Or you can check the real stats that REALLY matters in the end:

    Kings 107, Rockets 99

    Maybe you didn't realize Spencer got 10 rebs including 5 offensive rebs in just 14 mins... Guess who he took the rebounds from :rolleyes:

    You need to watch the game. Yao was getting double and triple teamed in the second half. The Kings defense was centered around not letting Yao get the ball.

    are you on crazy pills? Yao is not a player that can create his own shot and must depend on others. they didn't do a great job looking for yao in the second half.
