    Rocket played better in garbage times, somebody is always doing well in patting his statics, even Yao put game close to 4 points in 3 of 3 shooting, somebody still keey launch his pathetic bricks, 0 for 8 in third, that's what you so called play well, if you are the suns fans, i can understand it.

    Funny how it's never Yao's fault. ya'll traded almost every player on the roster, switched coaches, etc. When does it become Yao's fault. Shaq, Duncan, etc don't have a problem getting the ball regardless of the team they're on. Maybe if Yao stopped running from the ball and demanded in the post...oh wait that would take desire and confidence. Nevermind.

    That's why people call JVG stupid, the rocket is getting burned by wide open 3s, he still send the double team on the people whoever has the ball.

    Not smart on JVG. Anyone could notice Amare couldn't do jack on Yao. How could we give up so many wide open 3s? Tmac was
    playing somed lazy defense too.

    How does Amare win on career averages? Besides beating Yao in scoring, he is averaging .2 rpg more than Yao. I guarantee you that if you give Yao 5 more minutes per game that he will get you .2 rebs. Yao is averaging more assists and blocks that Amare.

    it was Yao's fault, he couldn't break those double teams and wristle those defender to the floor.

    It was Yao's fault, he didn't slam those guards face and yell at them "give me the damn ball"

    It was Yao's fault, he didn't kick JVG's ass and said "let me play".

    We lose the game all due to those Yao's faults

    You can't give 5 more minutes cuz he can't handle it. You would need a stretcher to get him up and down the court. I'm not saying the guy isn't a decent player, it's just that he'll never, let me repeat that, never be a superstar. No killer instinct, no athletic ability. Dream all you want, but he'll never be on par with the like of Shaq. And comparing him to a PF playing outta of position is kinda pathetic. The fact that a PF that's 8' shorter can play him is sad.

    This DaGlide guy is clearly a Suns' fan. Why he posted so much here? He should be banned!!!

    It's not just Yao. T-Mac has the same problem. How many times during the game does T-Mac pass the ball only to never get it back? Or he gets the ball at the wrong spot? Same thing with Yao. He's often completely forgotten on offense by the guards who seem unable to make good efficient passes into the post. Last night, Nash put on a passing clinic at the point and the disparity between his level of play and that of our guards was most glaring to say the least.

    I attribute a lot of Yao's and T-Mac's problems to this poor PG play. Unfortunately, this is something that will be with the team for the rest of this season.

    Put Yao in the Sun and Amare in the Rox, see what will happen. Just look at the performance for other former players of the Rox.

    hahah... dude, get real. you should NEVER be surprised to get the ball. As a player, you should always expect the ball, especially when you are standing right under the goal. I can not believe he dropped that pass that was thrown right to his chest when he was standing all by himself under the goal!!!! Everyone says that Yao's is this incredibly smart player... sometimes i really doubt that. I really like him and everything and hope that he does really well... but it seems like he is still making the same mistakes over and over again. Its pretty annoying to watch. MORE annoying that Steve Francis!!!!!!!

    Dude. get over it. Watch more Duncan and Shaq's games.
    Then pick one out of their 500 stupid TOs and comment.
    Stupid TOs always happen, even moreso to great players.

    The best way the Rockets can help themselves is by running 10 straight plays that start with an entry pass to Yao.:D

    Boy, one more loss and all of a sudden everyone is starting to see the light on Yao. He's going to be a solid center, but not someone to build a franchise around. You need someone with heart and desire, and a fire in their belly. I don't sense that with Yao. Should his teammates get him the ball more? Absolutely. Should Yao demand the ball if they are feeding him? Absolutely. Shaq would crack skulls if he wasn't getting the ball. Still, even if he did get more touches, you're still stuck with an Asian Rik Smits. Not a bad thing, jsut don't try to build a franchise around him.
