    My predictions and game analysis


    Rockets should not focus on John Stocktons shorts, they tend to give a distraction on court and slip away the mentallity focus on playing defense. Hold the man, down please! Steve Francis usually have his A-Game on offense when he takes on Stockton so let Francis drive in the lane more often and early.


    Give YAO THE FREAKIN BALL!!
    What tha hell is Larry Smith doing, setting the offense that seems like little rats running around for fun. Let the offense flow from Yao then it will start to spread to the other players! :)


    Boards, we need the rebounds and I like the way Maurice was playing as a big body yesterday with the rebounds, we're going to need some of those tonight.

    Turnover is a key and so i am going to plead to Cuttino to please don't take the crazy shots! We're going to need as much of a good shot as we can.


    Please do not walk down the court.
    Rockets tend to waste time by staying behind the 8 second half-court line that waste about 6 seconds just show-boating. Run down court before the Jazz could set-up or atleast send the ball to Yao early in the post, so we can swing the ball more or keep the Jazz in foul trouble.

    And yes, last but not least...get Glen Rice involved....

    ;)

    The offense only spreads from Yao if he is on his game, if he is not (IE the other night) giving him the ball is a TO or missed shot almost every time
    i
    if he is on his game, then Yes give him the ball...if not he needs to realize when to stop shooting it and start passing it :mad:

    Has anyone realized that Yao is an absolutely terrible rebounder? He's had at least 4 already that just went off his fingers that he sould have easily had.

    Still can't even make f*cking layups, it's ridiculous. Bill says "Great hustle by the Rockets!" Hustle doesn't do jack if you can't make a goddam layup. How did we get into the playoff race anyway? I've never seen the offense so stagnant in terms of ball movement, not to mention bricking every conceivable shot.

    Lets see:

    Cant hit layups
    Cant shoot freethrows
    Cant rebound
    Cant stop from fouling

    We play like this and we will be lucky to 1 more game this season.

    How we are only down my 7, I don't know since we shot 22% from the field, and even worse, 33% from the foul line.

    Yao's gone because he has zero energy and is contributing nothing to the game. Right now he's a 7'6" sloth.
