Thanks for the positive thread DD. I almost forgot there's still some Rockets basketball left to be played. :)
I am a huge Yao Ming fan, but reality is reality. The Rockets cannot go far in the future if Yao can't hold up to the wear and tear of a full NBA...
Maybe I'm recalling it wrong, but I remember a little after we lost the Utah series two seasons ago, when Yao got abused by Boozer, Yao admitted...
The rest of this series is either going to be extremely entertaining or extremely painful. No in-between.
It's the playoffs and you've got to have your best player out there. I don't know what else Adelman could've done to make that possible. You...
Turnovers has not been a problem for Brooks in the regular season nor in the Portland series, but it has increased in the LA series so far. Plus,...
Just out of curiosity, I took a look at the play-by-play for the third quarter of Game 3, right up until Brooks was subbed out by Lowry at 2:49....
I'm a big fan of Yao, but the reality is he had foot or ankle problems in the Utah series two seasons ago, and he didn't play last playoffs. This...
^^^ Never mind. I see it's already been discussed on page 2.
Every starter except Battier had 3 or 4 turnovers. Brooks had 3. Or do you think Brooks should get more of the blame because he's the point...
How about getting Artest to defend Kobe Bryant? I think our team defense is suffering because Battier is spending all his energy on Bryant....
^^^^ While we're at it, we should give more minutes to Hayes and let him manhandle Gasol or Bynum or Odom or whoever. Maybe even start him next...
I think our biggest problem right now is defense; we just don't seem to be able to stop the Lakers' starting lineup from scoring. Maybe the best...
How did Brooks end up with 5 personal fouls? I don't remember how he picked them up and how many were offensive. I'm surprised that Adelman...
The Lakers' role players did a great job. I thought Farmar really stepped up and especially killed us with pick-and-rolls later in the game....
Man, Yao is missing easy layups and is getting outplayed by Gasol. Maybe it's his knee but it doesn't look like it's bothering him. We...
He had 1 turnover. And no he's not a Laker. The thing that worries me is the balanced scoring from the Lakers. Also, their bench outscored...
Weird energy to this game. I feel a nervous tension from both teams. The third quarter looks to be pivotal again.
Nolen, good points about Gasol. He seems to have the armlength to reach over Yao and poke away the entry pass. I wonder what his wingspan is...
That's good to hear. It sounds like the experience could end up helping him in the long run.
