Hayes could defend no one tonight. Scola was a defensive liability, and was not the team player he has always been. Brooks ditched 3s whenever his adrenalin pumped up. Head acted as if his butt was on fire, and ran the floor without a direction. When Yao was fronted, no guard could find Yao. When Yao got the position in the paint, which was rare tonight, his teammates either settled for jumpshots or drove to the basket. So after all these, it is all Yao's fault, Yao could not lead the team, Yao sucked after rest, Yao was distracted, Yao ate 2 much bbq, Yao's wife was 2 horny last night? hmm?
Brook = "Best center in the league"? No Head = The main piece of the team? No Yao = soft tonight? Yes Granted everybody is going to have a bad night offensively everynow and then but come on, 4 rebounds at 7'6 is because his teamates didnt pass him the ball? because its RA's fault?
Yao had very few opportunities. Granted he sucked on defense and crashing the boards... he didn't really get the ball in his hands too much. Why? They were able to double him without having to worry about T-Mac or Artest. We can survive with 2 out of the 3 playing, we can survive with T-Mac and the other two sitting, we cannot survive with just Artest or just Yao.
so you are being sarcastic... good for you. this thread still sucks. and you suck. It is all Yaoterminator's fault...I say. Yes, I do.
the problem is really taht we were on a good roll with artest, suddenly taking him out is destructive to this team. plus yao seriously had a ****ty game. usually he could at least get 20/10 against the scrubs defending him...
After reading your post and not seeing the game, I'd have to say that it is Yao's fault. If all that's true, Yao would have to be a giant 7'6" p***y to let his teammates get away with that and not get him the damn ball. Hakeem would've killed one of them.
so, i guarantee this sarcastic troll of a poster is going to get 100+ responses to this thread. this so sucks ass.
Brooks and Head only wanted to speed up the game,they can't see Yao's position and just did what thay wanna do ,that's horrible
ohh, Chill, man. ... No need to start a war after a loss to Memphis, IMO . I would care more about the games against those potential post-season opponents I still believe in Yao. I still believe in Big threes. I feel that T-mac might come back strong. I m expecting the Big 3s Show in the playoffs this season, seriously. Let's just be patient, wait and see.
yao certainly played poorly and way below his standards tonight. had he played better, like scored a few more pts and grabbed a few more rebounds, we might've won, or maybe still lost. as the star player, he should shoulder most of the blame. what i have a problem with (after each loss actually) are things like people saying it's ALL yao's (substitute yao with any other player and it's still true) fault. "grab a freaking rebound, yao!" and meanwhile that particular rebound was 10ft away from the hoop. things of that nature.
The more hesitant the guards were to pass, the more energy wasted on vying for a position in the low post. Why not just pass in the first place, oh wait, they were just incapable of doing that, and Rick neither. Will D Howard make it if there were no R Lewis and Turkoglu on the Magics? Will Stoudmare make it if Nash and Shaq were not by his side? MJ, Dream... the list is endless. Expecting someone to solely solve the problem is not really practical in the current league. Not even for the best center in the NBA D Howard, let alone Yao.
When his teammates make the 7"6 run back and forth without purpose, his energy wanes. BTW,i see some real p*****s and whining b****es here. No wonder the Rox has not won a playoff series for more than a decade, with or without Yao, and with or without the big-three. It is the fans and city.
Yao was a "hero", a "beast", a "monster", a "leader", and "the best centre" two days ago. Now he's a criminal after tonight's game. Thank you, rockets fans.
Yaoterminator, You are a dick. There are two other threads talking about this, but you had to post this sarcastic droll of a thread. yeah, look that word up, you dork. You did this based on what other threads were talking about. You chose to start a new thread instead of posting in the threads that already existed, in order to make a sarcastic comment about other posters. admit it.
yao ming got 4 rebounds in 35 minutes of play. what can you say about it? and if you saw the game is worse, because many of those rebounds went his way and missed it, if i was keeping the score i would put like 10 to for yao for everytime he touched the ball and failed to get or rebound it.
