    yes, but just as many positives.
    1.Tmac was aggressive.
    2. half court team defense good when it mattered.
    3. Finding the open man and knocking down shots.
    4. Roles players stepping up so we don't have to just rely on Yao and Tmac exclusively.
    5. If we get Barry, he will make Novaks sporadic shooting look silly.

    Despite the 12 win, you are right on those points, except in all fairness to Rafer , Jackson took alot of his minutes.

    The free throws is a huge problem pacticulary when we face strong teams. T-Mac and everyone else except Yao need to work out on the free throw line.

    Wow Bobby Jackson had a good coming out game, and will only get better as he adjusts to the Rocket's offense. I was surprised at Yao, it looked like he was getting bossed around by Noah, after dominating Tyson Chandler in New Orleans. The Rockets look unbelievable, the best they have been in a long time. ITS TIME!

    agree to a point, there are always things that need to be worked on and improved, but sometimes its like saying Hallie Barry has ugly toes. Sometimes it just sounds like hatin'.

    I've been wondering that since Yao became a Rocket . . Yao CAN shoot 3's, and I'm sure RA knows that . . So why not condition him with his downtown shooting skills for game time? . . Then not even Dirk Nodickzki can have anything on Yao! . . Wow, just think about Yao shootin 3's after settin a pick, and then settin his feet on the perimeter, gettin an assist from tmac, and bombs away, YAO for 3!

    i think with bobby here, he's going to make adelman open up more of the offense. adelman said we did more back cuts tonight. battier said although they practiced it, they don't know how to do it in the games. maybe bobby can make us even better than we already are offensively during this streak.

    ahhh, i think battier agrees with you. :)


    "The timing for (acquiring) Bobby Jackson couldn't be better," Shane Battier said. "He showed us how to run the corner offense. Especially when a team is pressuring you, he made so many backcuts. For me, I've been running the offense all year, but to watch him run it, it was 'Oh, yeah, that's how you're supposed to do it.' The timing was impeccable for him to come in tonight against a team that pressures."

    In his first moments on the floor, Jackson took off on a backcut to take a Carl Landry pass to a layup. When he was through, he had played 19 minutes, made 5 of 8 shots and scored 14 points. The adjustment period was over before there was time to hang his name above his locker.

    "It's so funny," Jackson said. "I was telling the big guys the way they were overplaying us all night, the backdoor is going to be open. When teams try to overplay us and take our pick-and-rolls away, the backdoor is open all night. They just have to hit the bounce pass. This is everybody's first year in (the offense). It's my fifth year in it. If we get the backdoor, teams are going to play us very differently.

    "I was in Sacramento five years, but it took us a couple years to get it down."

    This kind of "fan" crap has to end. Yao moves over to double a drive and Gooden gets a free rebound and "dunks on" Yao.. so everyone has to run out and point it out.

    How come no one points out the power move Yao made when he pretty much dunked on the entire Bulls team and no foul was called? I guess that was soft too?

    Or it doesn't fit into your pretty little bash on Yao picture? :rolleyes:

    I thought Green would be inactive, but i see he suited up??

    Side Note: do you think his lack of half of his ring finger on his shooting hand affects the accuracy of his shot?
