    Wondering why Rafer is still starting, he doubt he even deserve any playing time at all. It's time to try Brooks!

    To an extent, not the desired approach

    Scola's emerged in this game as the scoring alternate and hot hand, so you had keep involving him. He's a frontcourt guy so sometimes it'll take touches away from Yao. That's a GOOD THING though. You dont WANT to lean on your superstars every darn night if other people can contribute when the superstars cant.


    "Coach, how come Jason Terry and Manu are on the bench for the other two teams in the state that whooped your butt. But Alston gets protection and security for his starting spot?".....

    A couple times Yao sealed his man and didn't get the ball, a couple times Yao set a screen and rolled to basket only to see guard's looking at oppoisite direction.

    and you will get the same answer as usual:

    "shooting is just one part of the game. yes he's struggled but he gives us so much more. he gets the team in the offence early in the shot clock. makes great play calls. doesn't turn the ball over and is a great passer."

    you can't win at this game.

    yao missed 2 shots and travelled once in the low post against shaq. shaq has been able to push yao a bit further out of his comfort zone, meaning that yao's fg will be below his average. and yao had trouble guarding shaq on the other end that's why deke got so many minutes. and look at shaq's touches, i don't think you can complain too much about yao not getting enough touches.

    well let's ask alston: "hey rafer, do u think u should start? u can't even make open shots and no one guards u. do u see yourself as a liability?"

    hahaha, yeah if you want to get him fined for cursing your ass out!

    i may agree with you but you know a pro athlete isn't going to listen to that.

    imagine asking that kind of question to mike james? :p

    i can't believe the rockets haven't been able to go on a run yet. this game needs to be blown open.

    actually with this defense, i can understand why.
