pacers have a height adv in the frontcourt their shortest forward is peja at 6'10. it mightn't hurt to put rybo on peja and move t-mac to two-guard. maybe t-mac can use his height to stop some of the three bombs.
I think because tmac is back and he is hitting his shots, the other players mentally relax a little bit and defer to Yao and him too much. I think due to the injury, tmac might not be efficient on the defensive end (he only had 1 rb so far). Rockets need to rebound much better in the 2nd half. Pacers is a very balanced team, so to match that, Rockets' supporting cast needs to step up.
No one can stop yao right now!! I mean no one!! Not even Osama even if he has control of entire Delta Airlines fleet.
Pacers' 3 guards had 23 points and Rox 4 guards had only 10 points and that tells the difference. Let's see how JVG handles this in the second half - if he fails Rox would very likely lose this game. Can we let TMac plays SG, Keith Bogan plays SF, Yao/Swift/Hayes/Mutombo rotate for the front court and Juan just watch?
Peterson on referee Tony Brothers after that ball clearly went off Jackson... "Man, that Tony Brothers. They gotta replace him. He is one of the worst." That's why Geno is the best!
I don't care how good Yao is, the Rockets can not win this game without McGrady. The rest of our guys aren't playing well enough.
