Good win, I wished they would had the 19-2 run in the 1st half. The strategy worked against Hawes, let him hit jumpers early punish him with Yao in the paint and watch him miss in 4th qtr.
Got the win, don't really care how we got it. Let's win the next one tomorrow, and then we are finally done with the bad teams.
tale of 2 halfs. good win for the rockets. yao dominated hawes in the second half. artest didn't really ball hog that much. battier finally hitting his 3's. and wafer had a good game off the bench as well. like i said before the rockets had to win by double digits..now win tomorrow at golden state!
Yao Ming; 10-17; 20pts; 9reb Spencer Hawes; 10-17; 20pts; 11reb Wow! Spencer better than Yao..... Based on the scoreboard..........
You know what's sad? Some people are actually taking this post seriously which means its not uncommon for people to react like this. Says a lot about the state of the GARM these days.
good win. I can understand how the rox were bored in the first 3 qs and did not start playing until the second half.
Actually the Rockets started playing D in the 2nd quarter, they only gave up 21 in that quarter, and then continued the D in the 2nd half but started scoring themselves. DD
Am I the only one who's not really seeing any fouls in those pictures?? Seriously, that just looks like good defense to me.
Yeh, but Yao is the worst flopper in the league. His reaction time is too slow and by the time he flops its too obvious. Sadly you're right, and sadly flopping has become a skill that Yao doesn't possess.
DH doesnt flop to get the calls, he just is athletic so the horrible NBA refs think he has to be fouled in order for defenses to stop him. I dont want Yao to flop, and Artest and Deke would not let him sink to that level. Just keep playing your game big man, if we can get out of the first round and prove this team to the NBA and national media, he will get the respect.
there's no unobvious sarcasm in there, both paragraphs included clear sarcasm and I made sure to add sentences that made it very, very obvious. not to mention this is like the 3rd straight game where i make comments like that.
