    Let's play a game!

    Yao's ability to choke in the clutch reminds me off _________

    I will go first: Chris Webber

    He didn't even get a shot, you cannot choke if you dont get a shot, This entire team is a chokejob

    Yao didn't touch the ball in the fourth quarter. That's everyone passing to him's fault. This game shows how reliant we are on Yao at least being a threat. Close out Yao completely you beat the Rockets.

    how do you choke without getting the ball? are you stupid? he couldnt get the ball, they keep fronting him, he had 5 fouls if he try too hard bumping and grabbing he would have been fouled out dummy

    why dont you talk about how artest forced it all by himself instead of passing it to wafer?

    why dont you talk about how we didnt need a 3 but we shot 2 in the closing minutes?

    Yao touched the ball ONLY ONCE i.e. at 9.25 and it resulted in an offensive foul. If the shots didn't fall, why not go through Yao and be patient for good shot selection? There were so many quick shots when there was a lot of time left in the shot clock. There are still some shortcomings in this team. If they review this game seriously with a view to introducing amendments in future games, today's loss should be a blessing in disguise, though I hate this loss. Rox, relax, just learn from your mistakes.

    Don't need to, just look at other post game threads where we lost big leads.

    Yao was wrestling with 3 Bulls players the whole game, every minute literally! And I don't remember Yao ever managed to touch the ball even once in the 4th qtr! We don't have a strategy when yao is fiercely fronted. When Yao gets the ball, we play way more efficient and smart than otherwise.

    Choke, Choke, Choke, no ball movement.

    Bottomline? With or Without Tracy, our team cannot run motion offense when pressure is on. Though psychologically, who can? Motion offense leads to turn overs because there are so many fast ball movements, but when the other team is putting extra pressure on?

    Artest gave us a big lead, Artest took away our big lead. Artest also took away our last chance to tie the game.

    our short-handedness on PF spot and AB's size and indecisiveness really showed...

    Yao Ming did nothing for us in the last 6mins of the game except stall the offense because he is not capable of getting open when people front him and don't let him get good positioning.

    We had 17pts lead into 4th then collapsed. No ball went to Yao's hand
