The loss in Dallas should not surprise anyone,but it is $$$$ to lose just before the playoff.So the rocket must benefit from this game: 1,AB should come from bench 2,RA, you are not Phil Jackson,so,you must execute your plan decisively like Slone or Brown. Mr RA ,you never have the fortune to coach the most dominating players in MJ and Shaq and Kobe,who can execute the plan and dominate the team,so Phil did not need to call timely timeout and substitute the right player. 3,RON, you are not Kobe,so play as yourself ,you dont need to be the savior because the rocket must play team basketball,and dont need savior most of the time.
we also learned that fronting Yao is killing us... actually we learned that long time ago, we just can solve the probalem
Some games, it feels like we don't have a second option. It's like AB hopes Yao will get out of the fronting on his own, so AB doesn't have to move.
