Rockets are still a great team. The losses to the Spurs, Pacers and Blazers could have easily gone our way. I still think of us as a 14-3 team As we stand at this particular point, I am a firm believer that we are the second best team in the league behind the Lakers.
Agree you two, about the opinion for Yao's 1 reb... As we can see, Yao has scored at least 2 long shot, it's should be a good tactics for the team. And Yao's defense, the block to Park and Duncan, it's great defense... Duncan has 2 many turnovers in 4th, like yao aways was...which harm to the team. Fortunately, Yao don't have to play in 4th... And Head, he is the star this game, but only this game he is, can he Keeps in the best state? I will reserve my opinion. I love this game..^_^
Great win. I just noticed something... as much as everyone complains about rafer's shooting percentage... there is another starter shooting a little worse than him so far this season. Rafer .359 xxxx .354 Guess who it is. (hint it's not tmac but he's in the big 3)
I'm not going to complain a lot after a win, but 1 reb is un acceptable for the tallest guy in the league. Especially when one team shoots in the 40's, there are a lot of rebs. People can talk about hockey assist and boxing out, but 1 rebound is 1 rebound.
I won't miss tmac but I'll really miss barry whose father ric and brother jon both retired in Houston. It should be a destiny for the barrys to retire in Houston but barry may not inherit his family's glorious tradition, because he's been traded to Miami with Tmac.
And the defense also started with Yao. He had Duncan flustered and out of synch. At least three steals (team steals in double figures), several key blocks, and some worthy intimidation.
Between Yao and Dwight Howard, one person doesn't care about stats and one person does. Can you guess who is who?
This is team game. 7 players scored double digits and 8 players has at least 1 steal. Two disappointments on Artest with continued low FG% and Yao with low rebounds. I thought Head is good, he can make the shot. He would be good fit with Suns when D'antoni was coach. So Glad coach Adelman started him today.
hey why did carl landry get a tech foul today? i saw it on the bottom of the score sheet and didn't see the game?
i'm really upset that many of you are looking at the stats or his offensive production... sure yao did not live up to the hype of being the top notch scorer with t mac out, but he worked that double team so beautifully, much like how RA would run this offense... that was the highlight of yao...he was unselfish tonight, and moved the ball very well, much to the dismay of the spurs defense who also expected him to make the big plays.. im proud of yao tonight in working this unselfish game, and moving the ball effectively...i was upset, b/c he didn't show for his defensive presence...
We win big games, thats diference. When postseason begins, you should beat the great teams not Pacers to advance. 32/21 means nothing.
