You all need to calm down, the Rockets intensity level is just fine. Has it ever occurred to some of you that the Jazz are a good playoff team? So to be down by 2 is not bad at all.
Again, we won 3 games out of 7. The chances are likely. Now that soft T-Mac is gone, this team should be better. We also have Ron Artest who is one of the toughest in the game. We just need to pick up our toughness, Jazz are the most physical team in the league hands down.
stop making excuses for Yao's poor rebounding, we've all heard it before. We all know Yao can't guard Boozer, too bad he can't guard Okur either
On their home floor, on the second night of a back to back. I don't think the world will end if Utah pulls out the win here. Houston's doing fine, they just need to pick up the team rebounding and NO LAYUPS.
I see people have another whipping boy since tracy is gone. Williams was torching lowry also, but brooks has 8. If brooks has 8 and williams 12, that's a wash. Battier hasn't done a thing, yet his teflon suit allows him no criticism.
Young Rockets are letting the team down tonight AB looks lost out there is not attacking DW, Wafer needs to hit the open looks, and Landry is not taking to the rim strong. Artest, Yao, and Scola have shown up for this game. If the young Rockets can pitch in the second half this game should be the Rockets.
Okur is guarding him and that's right. But I think Yao is the main reason we did not collapsed in the 2nd quarter if not for his effort on the offensive end. But I'll agree with you that he needs to send a message if the Refs are fair. He needs to stay aggressive on the offensive end and I hope he could do a better job to protect our own hook as well.
On the offensive end Yao needs to make Okur and Boozer pay that's all it is to it and he is not doing that enough. He misses close shots because he's being soft. Throw the ball in teh rim when you are close to the basket Yao. Put a hand in the shooters face Yao just play basketball and be competitive. A lot of times he doesn't compete hard enough consistently... i don't know why... maybe he is tired or uncomfortable. Needs to fix it.
I saw yao grabbed 2 offensive rebounds howcome only 1?? anyway, other teammates need to help yao, he can't against 3 big guys (boozer, Okur,AK)by himself!
