Boston's shooting almost 60% while we're shooting well under 40%. Those stats will find their middle.

If this is the case, then we may have a shot once our % get closer together.

Obviously, you can post whatever you want. Free speech IS given to the mentally handicapped, you know.
Yes, Yao is sucking. But, we don't need you and all 80 of your IQ points to post the same useless thing every five minutes. Yao is struggling, ok. We can all see it. I don't need the village idiot spelling it out for me.

He is right though, I was really hoping yao could come out and dominate a good team. When is the last time yao scored 40? Other than getting the ball right under the basket for a dunk he is virtually useless. When his shots ain't falling he really has no other game to bring except a pass every now and than. People claim this Yao's team and how we should trade Tmac but... Yao has no greater time than now to show he can dominate... and guess what it's not happening.

that's why his FG% sucks so bad for a center this season.

Actually thats more due to the high post offense. Yao shooting long jumpers does not equal good FG%. Just look at his stats last year.

I'm a Rockets fan and although they're not playing well, I will continue to support them. That's what makes me...a fan. Criticism is cool because they deserve it. But I'll continue to believe until the final buzzer. Naive? Perhaps. But I'm a FAN dammit.

beautiful excuse as always, but it can not explain his taking jumpers, fadeaways instead of passing them out.

There's the genius coach starting the same freaking lineup that started the game again! Freaking nut case!

How come he didn't start AB, Luther, Bonzi, Scola and Yao? that would have been better with Rafer, MJ, Battier and Chuck coming off the bench!

it can't be helped, the garm section is now a YOF board, no need to stress it out, if this team under Ming leadership is 20 games under by the end of this season there are many here that will still hold up the Yao shrine -the demigod of Demigods who can do no wrong.

Same old excuses will still be used season after season:

we don't have that ideal PF to shore up his rebound deficiencies and protect him in fights, we still don't have NAsh as the PG that will make the perfect passes for his butterfinger hands, we still do not have that coach that will loosen up his tremendous low post moves and give him the chance to use his super duper unbelievable passing skills,

we still do not have etc. etc. etc.

The only difference between a reason and an excuse is semantics. Going by your logic, Garnett in Minnesota sucks because he didn't make the playoffs multiple years in a row. Any defense of him is an excuse for his suckage.

Yes Pryuen but there's no excuse for his shot selection. He needs to get closer to the basket.

I'm guessing the game strategy was to establish him early.

Oh my GOdz!! flu must be the reason why he doesn't even look to pass anymore and he just jacks up shots and misses close layups..

Pierce is an excellent flopper. He gets to the line consistently.

Adelman needs a kick in the behind by Morey and Les! We will be down by 20-25 by the time he puts Scola and Bonzi back in for garbage time! FREAKING SUCKING IDIOT OF A COACH!
