dont overreact. The last four losses were all winnable.
We are probably a .5 team without Tmac. Rockets dropped 4 hard-fought road games. They can still compete.
Shanghai-shake is no contest to Dream Shake. Fade away and hook shots are Yao's money. He can use them to dominate the same way as Kareem.
Well-said. Hakeem also had other little things that Yao could only learn from years of playoff battles.
Are you watching the same games as me? I have yet to see a player to be THAT good to foul Yao out in 10 mins. The only player who were remotely...
Well said. this guy is a tool and making himself a complete a******.
this should be a good training game for our rookies, unless JVG insist to spoil it.
I guess it's still too early to panic. This team shouldnt play so much worse lately. They need to learn to win without Tmac. The good thing is...
San Antonio would be a good model for us.
By stat alone Amare would be the best player in 05 playoff. Averaged 30 pts in 15 games including 38+ pts per game against Duncan.
Dream transcedented his career in 93 - 96. Hopefully Yao could get to that point sooner.
both lottery teams
dirk is a great player. I don't like him but still wish him well. Mavs games are not the same without him.
Exactly. I don't think tha even Hakeem could stop Yao One-on-One. Yao has more problems against fronting and quick double-teams. He actually...
Worst case? We tank this season and grab a secondary star to take Tmac's role. Yao + another all-star + complementary pieces are good enough to...
From now on Rockets should bring more players complementing Yao rather than the so-called YaoMac combo. We can't count on Tmac.
Come on, stat-wise it's going to be much closer than some of you thought. At the end of the day, Yao would get his 27/10 and dream would get...
count 15-11 even with a healthy Tmac.
I wouldn't sell 93-94 role players short. They might not be all-stars, but the team had fantastic chemistry and complementary pieces.
This game exposes Yao's mental and physical weakness.
