I'm sure someone's already posted this, but maybe this is an NBATV protest. Maybe the Rockets only want to win on national broadcasts. So far they're 3-3 on those.
This is an intriguing idea. Wafer has the athleticism to guard Steve Blake who isn't getting the shots anyway (Roy is) and gives us someone who can see when Yao is open and actually pass him the ball...plus he can probably take Blake off the dribble easily and create for his teammates...
there are far too many...if they claim to like the rockets soo much, why do they always come on hear complaining all the dang time? its like saying you like to eat chicken, but one time you were eating it and it led to a chipped tooth so you don't eat chicken anymore.
Watch the game, he is constantly demanding the ball by directing traffic, he can't get the ball if brook constantly swing the ball the other way
Tonight was the first time I saw Yao Ming PISSED during a game. He really wanted the ball in many occassions and it's not like he didn't have position. Brooks and artest ignored him or they were scared of passing or something. I think Rik needs to tell the team this IS Yao's team.
He got blocked on quite a few, but that's not new, portland has been blocking shots well, and not just on Brooks..unfortunately we're too short
Aaron can take 20 shots by ignoring Yao, dribbling for 20 seconds then driving into a clogged paint for a block or missed shot. Thats our brilliant PG right there.
NBA refs are too powerful, they can change a game so easily by several whistles. We have 24 fouls while Portland has only 12, WTF? Those early fouls in the 4th were nonsense, and Yao got no call.
I hate to say that, but the refs really act like the last straw breaks the camel's back, they didn't do too much, just enough to stop us
1) Too much momentum killing foul calls on the Rockets 2)Battier needs to shoot more. 3)Artest.....meh 4)Brooks....meh Oh well, homecourt advantage = more fouls in Rockets favor.
I really really don't understand what is the coach's tactics in his hell mind. Why AB can shoot without any hesitation? Is this the secret weapon to pass the first round? Suck the game tonight!
I hope Yao completely trashes the locker room right now to show how pissed he is. If the Rockets don't advance, it's NOT on him!
