Why did Yao play more than 40 minutes, and he just returned from a broken leg, are you serious? Obviously, you don't want to blame your lover JVG.
11-24, but if you convert the FT to FG, it look a lot better. anyway, is somewhat pointless to argue if you gonna put any blame at yao for this game. Once yao went out, our lead was gone, and he was forced to come back in like 2 min. If yao got enought rest, he can deliver, just like the the Wizards game where Yao pour in 23 points in the 4th.(b/c of like 5-10 min extra rest due to the lighting problem in the arena) Yes it is wrong to blame Yao when considering it was basically a 5 on 1.
You're making my point. Yao recently came back from a broken leg, so he lacks stamina. That lack of stamina led to his low FG% and bad defense at the end. Did you think I was hating on him? I'm just telling you what I saw. Why blame JVG? His defense single-handedly kept us in the game. It was our overall shooting and fatigue late in the game that cost us.
The increase of FT's is a testament to his recent aggression. But it doesn't mean he can't still shoot efficiently. Again, Yao's stamina is still not 100%, and you could see that in the 4th quarter. What are we debating about? I'm just being an observer. I'm only saying facts.
yes, and you SHOULD be able to see he played 40 min while carrying his whole team on his back. The jazz can observe too that all they have to do is take out yao. Yao is a human too, he did what he was paid to do. He struggle in the 4th, but that is b/c T-mac and the rest of the team didn't help out. The 4th is where T-mac suppose to take over. Yao played 40 min while carrying his whole team (T-mac palyed 36 min), and I don't see how anyone can blame him for anything. honestly, I think you are only part of like a minority that will always find fault at Yao no matter what he does.
Again, you are taking my observations and facts and translating that to mean I'm some kind of YOH. Nobody is discounting Yao's monster numbers. Why is it so hard for you to say that Yao got tired in the 4th? If you are willing to admit that, then you have no choice but to admit that it contributed to our struggles late in the game. It's very simple actually. JVG admitted that Yao's defense at the end was not very good. Yao admitted his defense at the end was not very good. So why can't you? I never said that he was the only reason why we lost. But for anyone to say that he had nothing to do with the loss is wrong. Stop being so sensitive about a post that criticizes Yao. I don't like YOH, and I also don't like posters that think that if someone says something negative towards Yao, they should automatically be given the YOH status. I also think that T-Mac's inefficient night from the field contributed to the loss. I guess that means I will always find fault at T-Mac no matter what he does... I also think that Rafer's 1-7 night outside the arc contributed to the loss. I guess that means I will always find fault at Rafer no matter what he does...
I think everybody know current Yao can't play 40min. Without Yao, Rox is still a decent team, 20-12 is not bad record. There is no reason to play Yao 40min. I blame JVG because he overplayed Yao, and he overplayed all his starters to death. If you want to say that his defense single-handedly kept us in the game, I will say his offense single-handedly kept us out the game. We do have two great offense superstars, but still can't play offense, how shame is it?
The game was loss in the first quarter by TMac's 0 for 6 and not Yao's fatigue in the fourth quarter. You are obviously ToF and a Yoh
Why does every rocket fan with a superiority complex have to say this kind of statement when arguing with other Rox fans? What does watching something in 1982 relate to the 4th quarter of this game?
