Yao is way too tentative going for the shot now that he knows any contact and the foul is going to be called on him. It's called the referees deciding the game and not the players.
man that break was FUBAR. horrible pass to mobley, then horrible job by mobley to pass it to anyone. and then after all that bad stuff, mobley had a wide open layup so it should've been all good then mobes blows the layup. then yao misses like a 3 footer on the next possession. dammit.
Agreed... but this is where JVG says to him... "Who cares if they call a foul on you... you play aggresive and force them to flop/look bad... we'll benefit in the long run for this idiotic ref's work tonight." Seriously, the refs won't call anymore BS to foul him out.
going down to the wire...nice comeback but we gotta keep it up down 1 with 1:24 left....come on Houston show your heart!!
i'm laying even money on the refs fouling yao out on this next possession. i thought we should've got a call on that pass into yao that got knocked away but whatever. maybe a miracle will occur and we'll pull this out.
finally calling Santiago on his stupid fouls.. if they did this earlier he would have fouled out earlier andthis game wouldnt even be close. J
Many of us really wanted Rox start offense from Yao. But when we are doing this, we are really worried about that. See how lost Rox was when Yao is out. Luckily Yao is back.
nice acting job by francis to get to the line...the refs have helped us out as of late stop blaming them....its the rockets that have to win the last minute up by 1!!
