    Anyone agree? These two are so turn-over prone during a close game that I think RA should sit them out with under 6 minutes in the 4th qtr. Sure you can add Rafer, but he has been pretty clutch at the end of games.

    agreed. yao is so unclutch he'll either miss his shot or turn it over. him and head are turnover machines. we won because of execution down the stretch.

    Huh.

    See the thing about taking a general statement from one game...

    ...is that it makes it look like you haven't done your research.

    na.....i dont know, today it was ok because they were zoning up on Yao.

    but Yao has been clutch in many games before too. his presence demands double team and makes the late game easier for other teammates.

    plus, he is a terrific free throw shooter (for most games) that you really need to close out games.

    Clutch really should ban new thread for at least 3 hours after each game.

    I don't agree. Yao is out in the last 8 minutes due to the foul trouble, not because of his proneness to turnover. We do need Yao in the clutch.

    For Head, don't ask him to control the ball

    I am totally impressed with the Adelman's decision to leave 3 rookies on the court in the final minutes. They are fantastic and we are going to have big force coming off the bench in future.

    Go Rockets!
