This fu*cking Yao couldn't rebound the ball wtice. Boozer did what he wanted! And it would be our game... T-Mac did that all...he was great, but we lost. ****!!!!!!!!!!
T-mac just said "In some sense this feels good" WTF. this is what I'm talking about, this "we really competed" is BS
McGrady played a very good game overall, but as usual no one guy can do it all. Still, with ALL of our deficiencies, we had a chance to secure the game at the end. Instead, what happens? Well, we decide to give up 4 offensive rebounded on two different possessions. Boozer grabs the boards, Yao doesn't. That was reflective of the entire series. It's the series in a nutshell. Boozer >>>>>>>>>> Yao. Still, you have only two options right now: 1) Keep Yao, McGrady, and Battier and continue to build around them (it's an extremely slow process with Le$ at the helm). 2) Trade either McGrady or Yao and build around only one superstar with a bunch of solid role players. But do you really want to trust our front office with getting the right role players around either Yao or McGrady? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Realistically and without trying to be too emotional here, we have NO CHOICE but to ride out the Yao/McGrady experiment at least through the duration of McGrady's contract. So what can we realistically do now? Well, you start with the coach. You decide whether or not JVG is your man or you want a guy a bit more creative offensively. Second thing is looking at every possible upgrade this team can make regardless of position. The mindset has to be to get BETTER at every position, be it starter or backup.
You must be blind or TOF. T-Mac is guilty as anybody on the team for the loss. JVG and Yao follow next in the order.
U are Tmac's b****, nothing else... Open your fuxking eyes, the last 2 shots are all fuxking long rebound, Yao is very deep...Blame our fxcking PF who can't DEF the 3 point shot and can't rebound... Shut the fxck up
During the season when Yao was out, Mac did the wonder with the rest of the role players. Maybe T-MAC is better suited for a team bulit solely around him. With that team going 20-12, adding two or three solid board line all starts might get the team over the hump. Yao for Odom+Bynum+paker may get it done.
I think if there's anything we've learned from Dallas/GSW, it's that you can't build a team in this NBA solely around a big man. You end up getting the Pacers. A passing point guard, defensive PF, and we'll be fine. I still believe in Yao and T-Mac!
Trade Yao for whom, to where? If Yao is on market, 29 Teams would ask.... Put your TMAC on market and try....
NEITHER guy is going anywhere this off-season!! Rox will not trade Yao And you will not find a taker for TMac and his max contract. We just need to build around our guys. And I'm sick of hearing about Battier's intagibles when what we need is some consistent contribution from a reliable 3rd scorer / playmaker. Taking a few charges a game is fine, but I didn't see him come up with any game changing steals or rebounds this series. DAMN!!!
I think everybody sees what being saying the whole time is that JVG was to reliant on one-dimensional players who r great in right system, but this team has become to easy to key in on defensively. Teams are defending us like they do the Lakers just put 3 players on a superstar or clog the paint and you can pretty much beat us. I think T-Mac and Yao were actually about average in this series. I think it showed that everything else needed to be changed the role players were horrific in this series under 30% from the arc and around the mid 30s for fg% that was terrible. We have good role players, but they are too prominent on our team, because when you have Alston, Battier, and Head shouldn't be getting 35 mins a game. We should have had deeper rotation or brought in more players.
I'd like to point out to everybody that our starting center is not the far removed from broken leg....which is an injury that should've ended most of his season. He did not look healthy in series he looked like he was injured...like fell down and it look like he injured his knee
Trade the owner to Dallas for Cuban. Cuban is hating the Mavs now, he might be willing to trade teams. Les will be happy because Cuban has built a cash cow in Dallas. Once Cuban comes here, he will spend money and promote the team. Rox will be an instant contender.
I think we are overating the whole Boozer >>> Yao thing. It's a bad matchup and the Rockets don't have anyone else to guard him. Its like Duncan trying to guard T-Mac or something. He was just to quick. How many times did we see Boozer score when Hayes was on him? He did a GREAT job whenever he was on him. Even blocked hos shot a couple of times. Yao just didn't punish the defense enough to regulate the mismatch.
too little too late, where was he in game 6 and the first half of game 7, why he played so soft for the entire series only decide to show up when our backs were against the wall? had he played with this kind of fire then entire series, we would be playing the GSW tonight
