U never give up dont you. You posted pretty much the same message in another thread. Yao had 2 blocks on Boozer --- so the rest of time Boozer started jacking up jumpers. Hater, get a life.
Uhh Boozer has a humongous advantage over Yao. He had that elbow jumper all night, if Yao comes up to contest it, Boozer will just blow by him. Not that hard when you have a your 7-6 center guarding one of the best PFs in the league.
i remember seeing francis and another player the only one standing when mike james blocked a player from the behind. does that make him a team player now? also. rafer almost lost us the 3rd quater. 2 consecutive bad passes. good thing he made that 3 pointer and mid-range jumper. to me, it looked like yao was scared of the weak side defense. the help defense. he rushed his shot, so he wont' be blocked. what puzzled me is, he went to the same side over and over, and did the same move over and over, until late 4th quater. was that part of coaches plan? also, i wanted to see some high post against utah, but guess not.
kobe looked like the best pure scorer b/c he has free reign the last 3 yrs. tmac has a free reign on this offense right now. and had yao not played at all tonight, tmac would have gone for 60. tmac is doing this in the flow of the offense. he scored liek 10 pts in 2 mins in the 3rd when we barely went to him except the last 2 mins. tmac is as pure as u can get w/ scoring. mid-range game is on point. 3pt shot will be there. penetration is there. melo doesn't have the all-around offensive game tmac has.
TMAC is god this game, no doubt about it. Yao has a bad night, but who doesn't. Lebron James had 10 pt yesterday. And we are in a road game, and the refs,mmmm
T-Mac had an amazing game because he did not have to work us hard. Seriously, if this was last year and we fell by 10 within the first 5 minutes, who would we have turned to? This time we have people to turn to so that T-Mac does not have to overexert himself
but this is the SAME physical team he struggled again last yr. if this was portland or something, i don't mind. but this is the team that we all thought yao's injury slowed him down. but that's not the case
The problem with the Boozer/Yao matchup is that Boozer isn't a center... he's a power foward and an agile one at taht... even though Okur is the center, he doesn't even play in the post as much as other centers do. i agree that Yao has a hard time with Utah but cmon guys... lets not give up on yao yet...he's probably the hardest worker on the team and you know he will get back up and put up monster numbers... he always does.
im not here to be the negative nancy or anything, but damn 19 assists for the team? really hope we'll have better nights to distribute. other than that, we're still badass. woot!
Wow, I really thought the Rockets would lose to the Jazz tonight since the Rockets are trying to learn a new system but this is awesome!!!!! There is no way we would have played this well with VGundy.
trust me, when james becomes the starter, scola REALLY knows how to adjust to the refs and where he should be on this team, we'll be on ANOTHER level. scola really helped us tonight w/ just his hustle. when he really uses his skill, oh my
