    That might have been the worst played NBA game I've ever seen. Just two terrible teams battling for the loss. Despite being the overdog, we pulled it out with Yao's game-loser.

    Missed shot of the game had to be that blown layup at the end by Bogans. I don't know how he was able to pull it off.

    eventhough I know it is better for the team to lose, I still cant say that I wanted Yao to miss that shot. Regardless,...Ping pong balls!!!!

    Very dissapointed with Yao's effort. His heart and mind is just not in this game. Worse than the Phx game because he didn't even try in first 3 quarters. That's not the Yao I expected.

    Apparently, Rox players' minds are not in the game. They don't want to win games, they are just going through the motion.

    If you minus the last minute shot attempt by Yao. All our starters have more shot attempts than Yao. It really show you guys what we are after.......A LOST.

    The ball movement is good. All starts get between 11 to 13 shots. I guess they took their turn to brick and tank. :D

    I think he finally realized that it's in the team's best interest for us to be losing these games.

    The first time Yao meets Morey, I hope he refuses to speak. brings a PS2 or whatever and demands a game of Morey's choosing. And later only says: "Who's your Daddy?"

    Now back to the Yao-bashing portion of our little show...

    I guess the loss is good for us and all... but that was the most frustrating game I've sat through in months. Mainly because Yao never got it going, and the whole team was just ass on offense because of it. It was just painful...

    I'd prefer if we can at least lose with Yao destroying everybody.

    That's kind of hard to do, you know, it's Jail Blazers we were playing. ;)

    If that's the case, I'd be more dissapointed. I don't believe one ping pong ball makes the whole difference. There is no Lebron in this draft. Plus Rockets won lottery that year with 5th most ping pong balls, top four teams didn't.

    See, that very last play crystalizes what I brought up in the "Lottery vs. Pride" thread. Sorry, Clutch, but I much would have rather seen Yao's shot go in. It would have boosted his confidence. It would have established him as a go-to guy when the game is on the line. It would have given the team something, anything, positive to take from this miserable game.

    Instead, we have a .00000002% better chance of moving up in the draft. Yay.
