The rockets can ride on Yao for many easy wins. Sometimes you have to take that as this is a 82-game season. Yao was very efficient. Teams start not to double or Yao is getting better in beating fronting? Yao usually plays well in the back end of back2back. Go! Yao!
It would be more of a pity if there was plenty of garbage time in this game for Stevie to play and didn't IMO.
Unless I was half-asleep when watching the game, I noticed that Yao was getting the ball exclusively in the low post today instead of mixing it up at the top of the key, and it really pay dividends. He put up 30 pts and 4 asts - constantly drawing double teams and just flat out dominating.
a win is a win thats all that matters. I didn't see the game but from the looks of Brooks' mins maybe we will see Stevie tomorrow i hope. There is no need to play Brooks heavy mins on a back to back
well, he should be proud of himself for being traded for Ron-ron together with some second round picks.
It seems like the Rox are starting to figure out how to play better together. Which brings me to a puzzle: Every year, why does it take the Rox half a season to remember that they need to play inside-out through Yao?
I think the new pieces we added made Yao a little timid to start the season. Hes demanding the ball alot more now and making it look so easy.
