I think in the playoff, Yao should try fighting for every rebound, even with his teammates. For now, just keep healthy.
Yao needs to grab the rebounds that hit his hands...if he can't do that we are screwed. We know that his physical limitations do not allow him to rebound well outside his area, but for the rebounds that fell on top of his head he needs to GRAB them. If Yao caught a few of the dozen rebounds that he let slip through his hands tonight we would have won this game.
Are you guys watching this post game? yao is pissed. He just talked about all the offensive foul calls he's been getting against him for the last week. "Even if the other guy sits down to take a rest I get offensive foul." He said 'at least I won't have to worry about that next game. Shaq isn't that type of player. He doesn't flop.'
I hate to feel like this but I will have: Got to kick the Refs' @sses everytime when we play with J@ssholes Yao played his heart out. 4 of 5. The Rockets played Great. If not for the fatigue, I think we'd win the game for SURE. But let's move forward and waited at home for the Suns. We'll beat the crap out of the Suns'. #$R%$ Go Rockets
This warrior run out of gas in the 4th. It reminds me how he was running through the last mins of the Timewood game two days ago.
people need to give yao credit. defenders can do about anything against him and no call every game. the only thing i want him to do better is rebounding. yao, be mean.
Yao he just did In all honesty, bigger really stronger player are much better for Yao, guys like Nene, Howard, Shaq, They don't try to flop because they don't need to, Guys like O'w**** and b****er need to because they're outweighed by Yao significantly.
I really thought we were going to win this game seeing Yao was raring to go on the fourth. He was having a surprisingly all round game after a dismall start. This might've been the game where he handed it back to his foes as good as he got from them. It was a tough game and really there for the taking. We got a stop and chance to level it up a couple of times. Very hard to criticise Artest when he is trying to step up but he needs to try n go with the grander scheme sooner rather than later. Move that ball a bit more when its tight and maybe they'll find you open. This team has yet to develope a sense of whats working when push comes to shove. Momentums are being killed every tight game. I also felt that coach should've tried to trap boozer when he checked in with 5 fouls. But Sloan was the clearly the clear thinker tonight.
I will always respect Yao, the man is a great teammate, he doesn't cheat, like JVG says he finds happiness in the success of others and he constantly fights against the opposing team and the refs.
I hope we do not have to play the Jazz in the playoffs. This is such a bad matchup for Yao. Too often he is getting exposed at the defensive side of the ball. The Jazz get so many shots they want it is ridiculous.
Elbow, just one word, Elbow. I think Yao should use Elbow more often in the first quarter against the teams like Jazz. Yao would probably get one foul or two, but he can set the tone of the whole game.
yao is obviously pissed off and was releasing his anger. If you watch the game carefully, especially the 4th quarter, he is jumping like mad, trying to grab those offensive rebounds and he almost got them several times. On of his 2+1 is from a offensive rebound and if he is not hacked so many time, he would get like 3+ boards at least.
