When was the last time you saw Dikembe scored double digits? And Yao with 24 shots but only 1 turnover? .......... and 4 assists? that's amazing!!!
I feel kind of bad for Novak having gotten tickets for his close friends and relatives and not being able to play a second for them. On the other hand, Novak is a gem and once he gets his body conditioned for the NBA game he will have loads of chances to showcase his talent at the Buck's arena. Vspan needs to work on his turn overs and then he'll get his chance to play.
I have stopped responding those drama queens. They don't really care whether the Rockets has won or lost. These people just came here to pick on the negatives of the game and our players. The only way to shut them up is for the team to have perfect performance and every player has a flawless game. May be you should save your time replying to their posts too.
considering that novak is a 90%+ free throw shooter, why isn't he playing at the end of the game? forget about him returning home. you want the best FT shooters at the end of the game to preserve a lead, period. this is one of the few reasons why i miss david wesley. he was calm and clutch at the line in the 4th quarter. if we have a lead late (like less than 30 secs to go in the game), yao, howard, novak, mcgrady, and alston should be on the court when we have the ball.
Before you think for the Rockets you should consider Yao's instructions from JVG is the "shoot the ball dammit" when he draws single coverage and that what he did..you don't put a limit on one of your star players. Every shot he took was in the flow of their gameplan. 10-24 is a great night for most NBA players and it is just under Yao's normal 54% accuracy. He normally makes these shots so I'm glad he took them and so were his teammates and coaches. It's only you armchair coaches that probably never played any organized hoops that don't realize this. These shots didn't fall at his normal clip because of 4 games in 5 nights. Had he shot 14-24 and scored 31 pts...you would say, "I love it when Yao scores 30 blah, blah, blah..."
R2K is slacking on the video! Fire him! Trade him to Dallas fan site pronto! I demand to know why after 7 hours, there is no highlight video.
Though you use a wink emoticon and just kidding, it's still not cool and it's not funny man... yall have no right whatsoever, kidding or not, to complain to R2K. If one day he decides not to do it at all, it's allright too.
Phoenix ain't looking so hot right now either. The Rockets have a really good shot at home court this season if they survive this early part of the schedule.
It is just the start of the season, I think both Yao and Tmac are finding the way back to themselves. more patience. we will see that day soon.
ya..we dont want to dig a hole. dallas and phoenix will get better soon..and we should be using this time to get a lead in standings.
That was actually pretty funny. Bucks: Yao is on fire (previous game), maybe we should go through TMac via a detour. He must be still sleepy. TMac: Hey, I am awake today!
