The way you phrased your post just conveniently wiped out the great contribution of other players like Deke Mutombo, Juwan Howard, Rafer Alston and whoever that helped to contribute that winning streaks led by Tracy McGrady during the time when Big Yao was sidelined with injury.

Did you realize it is this I-Me-My mindset of Tracy that had prevented him coming out of Round 1 of the playoff for all these years??

Without YAO's scores in the 1st half,the Rockets would not even have the chance to come back at 2nd half.

I know people like hero. I know NBA needs hero, for whatever reason. But I did not know they could go that far.

Anyone watch that game can see Yao contributed as much as Tmac, if not more. It is not just about his 28 points and 13 rebounds, He set screen much more than his average. He altered shots a lot more than his average. Look at Jazz big two's pitful FG%, how many of their miss shots was because of Yao?

Then what did I see? When we had comfortable lead in 4th quarter, I saw many posts talking about leaving Yao on the bench because we do not need offense as much and Yao was hurting defense because he was slow. That is OK--they are entitled to have their opinions.

I was excited Rockets won the game and put extra time surfing the net--I wish I did not.

I went to Rockets web page. Everything was about Tmac. well, maybe the writer just wanted to make his story more entertaining. That is alright. At least he did not carry too far. After all he gave the Game Ball to Yao.

I went to NBA site, same thing. Except they do not have Game Ball to give. Instead they put those dunk-on-Yao video, as though Yao were beat up while the fact was just the opposite.

Then I came back to this forum. I just quote two consecutive posts(post game thread #191,#192)below: They were the ones made me write this thread.

Who are the stupid here? Yao was the one keep us in the game. Without Yao's effort, Rockets would not even have a chance to come back, not to mention Tmac have a chance to show he is not the one "talk the talk".

Do not get me wrong. I am happy Tmac finally showed up. We need him for the series, we need everyone on the court.

Tmac was the one to blame for the first half and to praise for the second half. Do not take all the credit after a win, espcially after someone carry the burden to compensate your one-point-for-first-half performence.

Sports won't be sports without fainess, on the court or off the court.

Have to get it out of my chest before go to bed.
