    We were up 17 with 5 minutes left.

    Offense wasn't our only problem.

    A few defensive stops would have been nice.

    The reason is simple: We have Yao in the whole 3rd and miss him in the 4th.

    I don't think it is wise to play Yao for a whole quarter bearing in mind the pace under Coach Adelman's motion offense system and his power spent for fighting hard for a spot in the paint aginast double-team defense.

    He needs a breath after playing about 8 minutes. I have seen many instances that he played longer than 1 quarter this season. A legitimate replacement for him (for about 4 minutes per quarter) is a must if Rox management prefers the service of Yao next season.

    If Yao had only play 24 (3x8) minutes and entered 4th quarter of the game at the 9 minutes mark, I don't think he would have any stamina problem.

    Nice one! Yes, we Clutchfans know that Rockets have been capable of 4th quarter collapses for quite some time now...

    During our run in the 3rd quarter of the game I almost put up a thread titled "I'll will never doubt the Rockets again", because prior to the game I had a bad feeling in my gut. Well... :rolleyes:

    What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger I guess.
    Right now wouldn't be a good time to be a T'Wolves fan, that's for sure... I have a good feeling about this next game. :D
