    It doesn't matter if we win or not Yao still isn't going to dominate a game on both sides of the court. He looks more dominate when you take him out and slip DEKE in and he blocks a few shots and plays as a threat on defense then Yao comes back in a does his damage on offense. That is what makes Yao look like is dominating the game somewhat but when you just leave him in alone to carry the team defensively guards attack Yao and finishes lay ups right over him as if he isn't even there. Offensively Yao is fine when he is in his rhythm but defensively he still has his issues and when he gets tired he's done. Yao goes all out I give him that but I'm just saying he is not dominating and I don't think we should expect the guy to lead the team... just give us 20 and 10 at least.

    Is that you Mrs. McGreedy? Please realize your husband has as much importance to this team as the towel boy. Just accept the fact that Yao is a BEAST and your husband is a FAKE.

    Hawks are just daring the guards to shooting open shots. If those start going in the Rockets have a good chance to win this game. Hawks can't shoot 61% throughout the whole game?

    Then almost every team double/trible him? If you don't call that is being scared of him, then, you are right.

    At least pick up a better opportunity to bash Yao, not when he got double/double by half time.

    Better perimeter Defense needed, Rockets are Making Josh Smith look like Lebron.

    It seems that we are forever in search of a capable PG.

    How are we supposed to beat a 21-11 team without our 2nd, 3rd and 4th best players?

    Those Hawk players made a lot of mid-range shots. Hopefully, Rockets will make some changes in ther defense scheme.

    Also, please shoot better percentage, rockets guards.

    This is why Wafer is very overrated in terms of our board. He is really streaker and should be a bench warmer, not a starter.

    Does anyone else get the feeling that other teams percieve us as the team to beat up on?

    He has stats but those stats are not making as big of an impact on the opposing team. Offensively Yao is dominating as of now but defensively NO. Therefore overall he just has good stats. Atlanta doesn't mind him doing that if they have the lead and nobody else is helping him. Now if the Rockets were winning that would be domination. With Battier, Artest and McGrady out there it would be dominating but when they are out there I guarantee you Yao wouldn't have those stats.
