I'm sure Yao would also be a joke without T-Mac. Look at the sort of foul trouble, turnovers and poor rebounding Yao consistantly gets into.... I thought this guy was competing with Shaq? Look at the stats, look at the team records and even look at the players in each team. Yao will never dominate the game like Shaq or Hakeem did and alot of you need to stop smoking crack and saying it is T-Mac's or SF3's fault. JVG's fault! I said it before the season began, I got flamed by EVERYONE. Now is there even one JVG supporter left?
Man, it seems like everybody is at each other's throats. The rockets keep piling up these utterly horrible losses and I bet it's raising everybody's blood pressure and destroying lots of people's tv sets.
Boring.Do not say that too much,just let yao leave and do not think houston can get any pay back from yao.yao will just sign a one-year contract with houston.and then as a free agent go to LA. Houston is not a good place for palying basketball,no real fans,no good coach,no good teammates,...nothing.When yao leaves here,who cares houston suckets win or lose.
T-Mac is T-Mac with or without Yao. He will have some awesome nights like he did against the Mavericks and some off nights where he scores 20 but has to jack up 30 shots to get his 20. Hindsight is 20/20 but I would have preferred to keep last years core and not trade for T-Mac and instead have acquired someone like Quentin Richardson, I know for a fact we would be a lot closer to contending than with this team now.
good point. One more thing, some TOs of Yao are due to refs. Only a couple fo times the ball was stolen.
Without t-Mac, Houston played extremely well against MINNESOTA & LAKERS. The Rockets almost won both of those games.
Did your head see the performance Yao did in those several games (against wolves and lakers) when T-mac was injured ? AT that time, we still didn't have Sura back. Didn't Yao play like a leader? Didn't the team almost get wins. He CAN be a leader. He just need some help from his teammate. I bet the team will be better if Yao shoots more, at least the same as Tmac.
Who cares about his awesome nights ? Only himself. He cares more about his stats than the team win. He will still be happy if his stats are great, like the game against Dallas.
This message board is crazy. We go from saying "Yao Ming is the Chinese Rik Smits and we should trade him while we can," to "we should fire JVG the cancer," to "T-Mac is a crappy player without Yao Ming." Well at least people aren't saying Yao Ming sucks anymore, so I guess it's progress.
That's Shark, not him. He can score more because he shoot more. Just as Barkley said, everyone in the NBA has the ability to score 20+ eacah only if he shoots enough.
Yeah TMAC is so CLUTCH, we should change the game plan coming into every game. Let all of our oppenents be up 20 with 35 seconds remaining in regulation, So Tmac can take over & win the game for us. What the hell is up with Tmac's shooting anyways? Freaken guy better get his act together soon.
