If you look at tonights game you can come away with many things. First off, the refs continued their truely pathetic officiating. Second, Tracy is very very tired and is in need of this two day rest I believe he will be getting. And three, Yao ming looked like shaq tonight in many ways (free throws near end, and a multitude of dunks). The reason I say I'm very confident is because of yao and tracy and how they worked the small ball to an advantage in the 4th quarter. We almost played ourselves out of the game right at halftime, but we fought back and if we would've hit our freethrows, and if the refs would FREAKIN open their eyes (i am infuriated at this point).. the outcome would have been different.. I am a college student so I wont be able to go to the game in houston (money, finals) but please guys,, go crazy because this series isnt over!!!
sorry, posted my thread 30 seconds too late. I would have just replied here if I saw yours first. admin please merge two thread if you see fit. and again, I BELIEVE!
I agree, Yao looked unstoppable at the end. The only thing I see missing from the Rockets offense is the 3 point shooting and the 4th quarter clutch shots from Mcgrady. I know the refs and the FTs blew this game for us, but it didn't help that guys like Terry and Stackhouse were knocking down shots exactly when the mavs needed them. [give some credit to their clutch shooting too ).
Exactly what I am going to say. I thought tonight is the MOST dominant game from Yao in this whole season. I believe at the forth quarter, he was just so angry or whatever, which is also a reason why he missed so many FTs. If he keeps this up next game, that would be an easy blow-out to the fu8king Mavericks.
I feel this series is like Lakers/Kings 02. And we are the lakers. Remember what Shaq said after game 5? "Make History!"
I mean anything is possible. We won two from them already, so its possible. Our backs are against the wall, and its time to see what we're made of. This game was very close despite T-Mac having an off night and Yao missing all those free-throws. Just take it one game at a time. Win a big one at home, then go back there and take game 7 in their house. The thing is the way Yao played in the fourth with all the dunks and stuff, he can play like that all the time. They gotta get him going early. The rockets gotta get back to playing their usual game.
And if they do, they will win two straight. I feel more energized than I have been since the Rockets won the first two. I know this is crazy, but I have a strong feeling that the series is about to shift the other direction. The Rockets just need to get back to the basics, they are close, very close. I Believe they can pull it out, I really do.
This is exactly what's costs us in all of the losses. Open jumpers from the Mavs. I'm optimistic considering everythign that happened we still had a chance to tie it on a last second shot but if the Rox can't rotate fast enough to stop open jump shots and hit clutch free throws all the optimism in the world isn't going to save them. I've said this already and will probably say it again. We're getting screwed by the refs but we also need to play better. If we capitalize on the opportunities we have we take it out of the refs hands.
Damn me toooo! This is the best ive felt after our 3 losses. yao played a lot better when he was mad after that 4th foul.. He had that look. Somebody punch him in the face before the game....Please
