I watched game2 again. I found that during 3rd and 4th qtr,we had enough to beat LA.
First, our bench are more productive than LA's.
Of course, if Yao on the court, we have an efficient weapon; but if not, we still have more weapons than LA.LA only KB and Gasol reliable shooters,but we have Ron,Scola,AB,Battier, Carl, Vefer and lowry, Chuck can promote more on defence, he is more efficent to gard Gasol and he,with quick footwork, sometimes can promot double to help Battier, which Yao never did.
As matter of fact, Ron controled well last game, he just gave KB warning that if you were in my home you would not allowed to do like what you get in LA.
so,this series will be Rockets in 6 .
Go, Rockets.

yao is efficient when they are playing behind him, but when he's being FRONTED, he's the most useless center in the nba. pau gasol was also his professor last game doing spin move dunks on him. this is a mismatch because pau can get his shot any time against yao.

in other words, we need chuck hayes to play 30+ minutes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, pump the brakes dude. Just because Yao is being fronted and he can't get the ball as easily doesn't mean he's useless. The mere fact that he's being fronted opens up space/lanes in other areas of the floor that should be exploited. Chuck Hayes playing 30+ minutes is absurd.

He is not useless when fronted because his teamates will get chance to shoot,that is,sacfry his score for his teamates. What I mean is Chuck cam meet up Yao's off court to promote intensive defence.

I agree , but on defense , which is why the Rox lost game 2 and won game 1, Yao Ming was the reason, Gasol did anything he could and got EASY buckets

1. Get Yao involved early and often
2. Defend well against Gasol and protect the paint
3. Get back in transition defense
4. Stop turning the ball over in the 4th Q so much
5. REBOUND

Scola isnt consider a pitbull? you better put him on that list because he is our biggest pit bull out there who plays on a consistent basis.

I donot want to make a thread one more about the third game.

But It seems ONLY ME WORRY ABOUT this game. I really worry about that we will lose this game and lose the series too. What is more, I even feel that there is a chance that Lakes blow out Rocket for this game in our home court.

But if we can win this game, we will win the series in 6th. I think that every player in the Rocket will not let the fourth game go away.

Go Rockets! Please every player steps up and win this game!!!!!!.
