Blaming players on 1 crucial play is downright dumb because you can throw so many 1 plays that are crucial. How about 9 heat check 3's? How about KM choking in the 4th? How about allowing Jason Smith shoot 5-6? How about NO getting 11 blocks? how about NO getting 42 FTs? How about Scola going 4-15? How about Yao missing 1 rebound? How about Shane with 0 points through 46 minutes of the game? How about Cbud going 1-5 on 3 pointers? How about Rick subbing Hill out? How about AB getting ejected and extending the NO lead by 2 more points? List can go on and on about "WHAT IF"
i thought it was a bad move to put hill in over chuck at the end. when we need stops we have to have either battier or chuck on the floor. especially with david west, those pfs that like to move around (like dirk) chuck guards them better than anyone. i was very disappointed he didn't get more pt to try and slow down west early
Wow. That may be the most ignorant post I have ever read. Look at the numbers sense you obviously didnt watch the playoffs that year. Artest had one of the worst playoff rounds in history. He was terrible! Go read the articles about how he had to play through his bad play. The reason the beat Portland was Yao and no answer for Brooks. Just wow.
There should really be a # posts someone should reach before being able to start threads. This guy is just stupid.
Yao is not done but we should be done hoping Yao will lead us to a championship. He is a role player at best now. If we keep Yao as starting center we need to trade Scola are bring Scola off the bench. We are not winning a championship without a athletic brotha starting at center or power forward. Never happened and never will. NBA is too athletic and political to let that happen.
This guy can't jump at the moment and doesn't have the hand strength to secure the ball for a rebound, grab, or put back. It's awful to watch him, I swear my eyes bleed watching him play. Notice how our post play has no cutters, has nothing, but 1 move... Luis is just a complete idiot on defense, I'd much rather have any of the opposing 4s this team has played against this season thus far. Best PF or top 3 with no D and no lift to dunk the ball.. just scoops? Cute, not really. He's gotta go too.
Seriously CJ, if Yao gets hurt he gets hurt. Don't worry yourself to death with something you can't control. Just remember it was a total reconstruction of the mans arch, it will take time. Personally I think he looks ok this early on. Patience is the key right now with Yao. He will pan out or he won't, time will tell.
That is the biggest problem with you stat guys look too deep into the numbers that's why we keep losing and one reason why the current rockets team is not working out as of now. Get the players you need to win... that is what it comes down too. Everything else is BS.
Like stromile Swift right? He was athletic and a "Brotha". Wonder why we never won a ring with him starting?
Yeah, I swear people think talented shooting big men are a dime a dozen. Name me a better shooting big man than Yao? I was actually thinking of Swift with these trade Yao post.
Stromile Swift was slow in the head. We need one that has all the tools but it needs to be a brotha. Don't take it personal I just want to see the Rockets win. I look at everything and i mean everything. I noticed that and I see how the NBA championship teams look... Rockets don't look right. Too many unathletic guys... we have enough smarts we need athletes.
Remember in the preseason how Jim O'Brian was interested? I think if we made a straight up trade for Hibbert Pacers would bite. Maybe give us other pieces to make the salaries match.
