    Yao didn't take many shots.......but you will notice that he got three big men into foul trouble, AND had a 4th assigned to him in Petro. Sonics did a good job of giving up fouls to deny him the ball. They certainly have the subs to keep rotating on him. Hack a Shaq like even

    THIS GAME JUST SHOWED HOW HORRIBLY RICK ADELMAN IS.

    THERES THE LUTHER HEAD GETTING CONSISTENTLY ABUSED PART.

    THERES THE LAST PLAY NOT USING YAO MING AS THE FREE THROW SHOOER, BUT INSTEAD USNG A 1-4 GUY.

    THERES THE STUBBORNESS IN GOING INTO A SMALLER ROTATION EVEN AFTER SEEING IT FAILED IN TH FIRST HALF.

    NOT USING CHUCK HAYES ON DEFENSE WHEN ITS CLEAR OUR DEFENSE SUKS.

    AND WE SEEM CONSISTENTLY UNDERPREPARE AGAINST POOR TEAM. DID HE SLACK OFF THINKING WE'RE GONNA WIN REGARDLESS?

    a win is a win, even it's an ugly game....

    tks for T-mac's 3 point, even he lost 2 free throw at the key time.... :mad:

    tks for skip's 3 point, even he lost so many shots b4.... :mad:

    but dont forget sonics is rather bad a team, we just win for it too hard.

    An awful game turns down to be good, T-Mac is back, Landry unbelievable, Shane clutch, Rafer clutch , Yao still the best center in th NBA

    FT almost kill us but we won this game.

    SEATTLE WAS DUE

    SETTLE ONLY WINS WHEN THEY GOT THE LEAD AT THE END OF THE 3RD

    HOUSTON 1-15 BEFORE THIS GAME WHEN LOSING AT THE END OF THE 3RD


    HOUSTON IS HORRIBLE IN THE 4TH

    AND WE WON.

    Hey idiot (and the rest of you whiners): McGrady put the team on his back and the game back from down 13 in the 4th on the road. You don't have to post, you know.

    It sort of makes you wonder...dude was out for WEEKS...he has a practice court at his house...if he couldn't move...he could still have shot 500 free throws a day.

    :rolleyes: Funny how everyone wanted Yao to shoot those FTs, when a few games ago everyone was dissing Yao for being an unclutch FT shooter.

    T-mac just needs to think less when he's in crunch time. You can tell T-mac was overly nervous and conscious when shooting those free throws. Yet when he got the lead for us + the pass to Rafer, he was playing calmly and not 'overthinking'. T-mac is a great player when he isn't nervous, or overdoing things.

    The team showed surprising poise down the stretch today. They just need to make their damn FTs in the last seconds of the game. 1/4 last time, 0/2 this time. STOP THINKING SO MUCH AND JUST SHOOT THE FTS AUTOMATICALLY!

    true but alston 18 shots are easy shots and is wide open and the end of a play yao is getting hammered and doubled and is hard to get shots

    Too many match-ups played by Sonics..

    T-mac.......................................go back and shoot 1000 FTs please!

    An ugly win but a great 4th quarter.

    Sorry, Sonics 12 loss in a row. Ha-Ha.

    Yao played a solid games and T-mac played good.

    Rafer, You missed a bit too many layups.

    Landry need more games to polish himself.

    Battier is not doing good.

    Rockets will play better against Portland. It seems the TEAM plays to the level of the competition.

    TMAC showed why he earns 20M....
    This is a good pattern, Yao carries out 3 Qs, TMAC takes over the game in 4th Q.
    I still believe Yao&TMAC combo will achieve something!

    So, where are the T-Mac haters tonight? Where are the trade t-mac threads?
    Come on people, he did miss 2 key free throws, you got something to work with.
