Points off turnovers and 3-pointers are making up the difference, last I heard/saw. The Rockets are leading in both those categories.
What in the world is up with coughing up huge leads! We were up by 16 at one point and now tis a 3 point lead going into the 4th :/ . I want to see Yao power dunk one on Dalembert's mug...
You seem to forget there were plenty of games last year when James' shot was off, and he was pretty worthless when that happened. Rafer doesn't need to score much to be effective. Seems like people that some people who miss Mike James only remember his good games, especially his first couple when Sura was injured and during the Mavs series. In between, ole' MJ had plenty of clunkers. You never knew what he was going to bring from game to game. The inconsistency is one reason why he's not a good starter for a good team.
Way to stick with it Yao! I like the determination in putting up the shots even if they aren't falling, though the way he hits himself after each miss (or make) scares me :/ ...
Like I said, one of the Rockets trainers need to chase Yao around with a cattleprod during timeouts. Either that or kick Yao's chair out from under him when he tries to sit. That'll get Yao into shape quick.
