Finally we win. But I think AB took too many shots this game!!!!!!!!! Ron 5-13,Yao 6-15,Scola 5-9. AB 8-20. I think Scola should score more and AB shouldnt score so many! In the 4th quarter,AB scored like he was T-mac.
Love Ron's heart this game, but that one play in the final minute where he went for the steal and Roy blew past him for the two handed slam was quite unfortunate to see. I hope he doesn't try the same thing with Lebron. He'll put a couple more exclamation points up on the rim.
Damnnn Pass the ball AB 8-20 yao took 15 artest took 13 Last game all were mad at wafer taking more shots then Yao Now ab thinks he is AI oo and lol ab stands for air ball damnn He killied him
good win, no make that great win. a lot of the scoring at the end was due to trying to get the ball into Yao. he had scored on a few possessions and had a smaller guy on him, but that doesnt always work. I think at that point the rockets should have gone elsewhere to score points, at the end when aldridge was guarding yao the rockets should have had either scola or artest posting up on either outlaw or roy. i think that would have been a lot more successful and forced the blazers to adjust. its a work in progress it was also a bad night for yao early on. but the ball movement completely stopped in the fourth trying to get yao involved thats where the issue was and thats what allowed the blazers to cut it to 2.
It isn't entirely Yao fault if they can't give the ball to him. It seem like we didn't know what to do when they fronting Yao. Everyone was standing around. We really need a plan B when this happen.
and for those upset brooks took too many shots remember this: yao hardly played in the first half because of foul trouble and because the rockets had a comfortable lead then in the fourth they kept trying to get the ball into yao but couldnt. it wasnt like Brooks was out there ISO'ing Yao.
My thinking is that AB does better with Bigs that are just big but slow. He can do really well against bigs like shaq, dampier, Z, K Perk... etc.. but he's ruined against mobile bigs like alridge, KG, Tyrus.. etc.. He tried to drive in too many times but the bigs are able to catch up to him today that's why he seemed bad but he would've made those shots against bigs that lack mobility. We need to punish those soft bigs with KYLE!! we should've give him more minutes and let him drive and draw fouls
Scola was the difference of the game. Those offensive rebounds were huge. If we had Scola agaisnt Utah a couple of years we would have advanced. Aaron had a great game, but he still needs to improve on execution at the end of the games. Ron was just Ron. He does some great things and some things that just make you scratch your head. Yao played soft, but give Portland credit--they really defended him well. Wafer became a little too trigger happy in the second half, and they weren't falling for him. Other than those two and 1 fouls, Shane had a good game.
YAO MISSING THOSE TWO POINT-BLANK DUNK/SHOT WAS CRAZY!! but still a great win!!! 4th place baby!!! and still moving up!!!!!!!! go rocketss!! go rocketss!!! go rocketss!!!!!!!!! go rockets!!!
