ClutchFans Game Thread: Knicks @ Rockets 11/10/2006

15-21 with 33 points, 15 rebounds, 7 blocks. what else do you want Yao to do? well, there is one thing, 8 turnovers is not good . but let's not be too strict with Yao, he's play very well.

and, Tracy, when will you be really back? Yao's gonna need your help.

GO ROCKEST!

 

yeah,for sure, he will be a superstar as long as he shoots 15-20 shots a game.I was really impressed with his rebounding tenacity today.

 

Are they saying he didn't?? 17 was my count. Hell, the guy was a monster out there.

WE'RE SO FREAKIN' LUCKY!!!!!

 

No one would be sober by half-time...

 

Yao is playing olajuwon like.....

 

Come on, TMac, do you shooting pratice at home. You do have a basket court at home, don't you?

 

he did

 

yea he has a better basketball court at home than my highschool

 

Good win, but still have some concerns:
1. Yao's turnovers: when it was at 5, I said, OK, the refs are gave him two pathetic travelling, one offensive and one 3 second, none of which I agreed with. But by the time it hit 8, there is no excuse any more. We have a problem. It's not only Yao either. For example, I thought Rafer hit him with a couple of passes when the defender (especially Balkman) had his arms around him (foul that's not called). Forget Yao, who's slow, even a fast player would have that knocked away.

2. TMac: the guy is averaging 19 even before this game. It seems that his role and Yao's role reversed. He's now the supporting player. You might say, well, 19 PPG ain't too bad at all. The problem is, he hit that at an a lot lower % (on both FG and FT) than Yao.

3. 4th Quarter collapse: nothing new there.

4. Lack of an option when Yao's out: TMac isn't doing it for us this year. Suppose we're playing a good team and Yao subs out or have an off game. We're in real deep ****.

 

Ya they just updated it.

 

No way. Iverson likely take half attempts for 76ers, no matter they win or lose.

 

Sounds familiar, I am the same way, though spend much time watching Yao and you become one of his fans as well Great guy, on and off the court.

 

He needs 14 boards on Sunday to get back to 20ppg+ and 10rpg.

He is now averaging 9.33 rpg.....come on yao...hit those boards.

Except those turn overs...

 

folly JVG!

Why not play some bench players like Novak and Span more?

4 of 5 starters played at least 37 mins!!

Yao and Alston would be too tired to be efficient in Playoffs!

He is overspending Yao, Battier and Rafer especially Yao (his stamina is not good).

 

Overall a great game. The slow point in the 4th quarter made me a little nervous but it was great to see other players step up around the perimeter to make the shots!

Lot of fun to watch Yao tonight!

And Chuck... mark it down, my boy was 4-4 from the field and 2-2 from the line.

 

yeah, on TV, Yao got 35, 17, and 7. Not sure what happened to the NBA scoreboard. Loser stats tracker!

 

how many points does he need to stay at over 25, i like that number, 25-10

 

I don't understand why Chuck was not playing more...he only played 19 minutes tonight, and he was playing GREAT......

it took a while to update on nba.com, it was stuck at 48 seconds for some reason, at that time yao had 33 and 15...
