    Yao now averaging ~19.7 ppg at 54.1 percent.


    In your face, face guy!

    im not trying to hate, but without tmac, the ball movement is awesome. Its a totally different team without tmac...not good or bad, just different.

    He is on an iPhone... it will take him 5 minutes to answer instead of his usual 2.

    You play within what the defense gives you. Yao was double-teamed, triple-teamed like crazy.

    I got to say Rox can beat any team as long as the refs are not too biased.

    Great win. Yao held his own tonight once again. Rafer made some big shots. Wafer will not lose his confidence, he still had a very good 1st half. Landry continues to impress.

    I don't really have a problem with Yao's shot attempt unless it gets below zero. You have to understand that with Tmac and Artest out, he's been on every opponent's defense priority against the Rockets. He is making high percentage shots and drawing double/triple teams. Efficiency.

    Also, people don't realize that after Yao's great stats in 06/07, we had a coaching change. Takes time for players like Yao and Tmac who are number 1 and 2 options to adjust. With Yao's age, he should be peaking right now barring injury.

    Kiddo, bb is not math. 5+1 sometime equals 4. Depends on you add a real player or poison.

    I heard Miami commentators said the best was Wilt went 18/18. But how many times a player went 12/12 in a game before?

    Looked like the Heat did a good job swarming Yao in the third, keeping him from taking a lot of shots. The Rockets did the right thing and looked for the open man, who more often than not made the shot.

    Credit goes to Rafer Alston, who was left open all night but got it going in the second half, and Landry, who made some important jump shots.

    Overall, solid team basketball. Loved it and looking forward to more of it.

    Yao attracts double team and then pass to the wild open shooter. that's the team.
    when T-mac is on the court ,he holds ball too long. So I'd rather he's not on .

    PS I am not hater
