a coach that will yell at thier face if they do not follow the game plan, play selfish and under-achieve.

That works for me too. I would miss him on TNT.
I just want to see some wins. It is alright when Nash/Finley and NOwitzki bust your butt, but House/James and Best? Something has to give. I think Rudy's job would be alot easier if he had a good veteran PG to help the team keep composure and stick to the plan. Maybe that woudl be the answer.

you've got to be freakin' kidding me, now i know your crazy. man that ball was nearly thrown into the first row! and your not listening. take Oneal for example, he doesnt get isolation posts, the ball is constantly moving and there is teamates moving and cutting around him right before he gets the ball; they dont gingerly set him up in the post and then go stand off to one side, if they did you could take your time n set your defense to front that all night long. it doesnt matter how strong are big you are if a team wants to front you they can do it really easily if you set your big man up in a predicatble isolation post and have your 3 teamates stand off to the side. thats way too basic.

I was hoping Pat Riley would get discouraged and quit or get fired in Miami. He could whip these guys into shape.
I would like to see Van Gundy or the Czar either one. If they could win consistently with the group they have now, I would be happy.

And then on the other end B-Grant makes a simple cut into the paint, leaving Yao once again with his feet cemented in place, takes a pass and jams it home, with Yao nowhere to be found.

Or how bout when Yao catches the ball in the low block, holds onto it for like 5 minutes before he makes a move, and then when he does make a move, he throws a wild pass to Cat, but Cat has to become Jerry freakin Rice just to get a hand on the pass, and if we're lucky, instead of turning the ball over out of bounds, Cat, whose defender has had like 5 minutes to recover due to Yao's desperately ugly pass, only has time to jack up an airball prayer with a defender draped on his jock.

That Moomoo must have no idea about post play. Yao has the ability to take this team to the next level if his teamates would learn to trust him and to play to his strengths. THey are too busy trying to find their own shot to give him the ball when he is in the position to so something with it.

How about we hire JEFF VAN GUNDY AND THE CZAR MIKE FRATELLO?!?!?! Two great assistant coaches. We pay them all we can...and fire Glen Rice and Maurice Taylor and Kelvin Cato and don't resign James Posey. Muahahah! W00T!

OKAY. They attempted to get YAO MING involved. But God. DIDN'T Y'ALL SEE THE MIAMI HEAT PLAYING GOOD BASKETBALL? THEY WERE PLAYING GREAT AND AGGRESSIVE BASKETBALL. Their coach is really smart......good strategy against our Rockets. They played good and PREVENTED YAO FROM GETTING THE BALL.

Rockets are just sad.

BE PART OF SOMETHING SAD.

This guy has a point. The Heat played great. The Rockets let the Heat get off on them. With Riley coaching them, they are going to be mentally prepared. The Rockets just didn't execute and fell asleep on D.

You are the No. 1 moron on this planet, moomoo.
How to start a poll on Moomoo's qualification as the No. 1 moron?

I just do not understand why people are down with Posey. These guy does everthing for this team even if he is the 5th option among the starter. He hustle, steals, rebounds. I agree that he does not score much but that is because he looks for his own shot coz the selfish guards SELDOM look for him unless he is running the break. I like him in this team. He deserve a good contract unlike Norris ($3 million) , Cato ($6 million) and Taylor ($7 million ??).

BE PART OF SOMETHING SAD. Now that's a good sign to diplay while watching a rcokets game. Maybe then, rox org. will wake up and get a new coach.

Chill out everyone. moomoo... haven't you already know by now that you should NEVER say something, even a bit, bad things about Yao at this BBS? You can bash anyone you want except HIM!! Otherwise, you'll be bashed, labeled stupid, moron, idiot by all post-May 2002 joined posters.

I would try to package Mobley and Mo T and try to get Gary Payton or even J Kidd. They both are talking about leaving. They want a championship. This team could see a strong run in the playoffs next year barring injuries.

Absolutely shocking. I thought they would play down to the Haet but the performance tonight was just horrible. Poor defense compounded our offensive woes. The Heat did their homework and we didn't have a clue what to do.

I couldn't have said it better myself. The Heat may not have huge talent, but they are most always prepared.
