I will translate First part basically is Yao is not willing to critisize the refs, cuz he doesn't wanna get fined, and also he thinks his teammates are responsible for the loss. then he said: " we came here like we are vacationing, we didn't have any energy, it's nothing related to the refs". he continued, "we acted like the game would be easy to win, cuz the Kings didn't have a good start in the season," "but so what, the kings almost beat the warriors...what about us?" he finally said "our plays are too stagnant, no movement, players are not moving around eagerly, most of time we are playing slow-paced half-court games. Also, the kings did a good job adjusting their defense after the half-time (I guess he meant how well they adjusted to take Yao out of the game)".
Thanks! I thought that was RA's plan, more movement/sharp cuts.... I believe in the idea and saw how it worked for the Kings... How come the Rockets are not able to do it? Is it just a matter of time?
I knew it! It must be the Maloofs dishing out free rooms, free food and pet jets to Las Vegas; also free drinks and free admittance to strip clubs in Sactown. Damn the Maloofs, u make the Rockets players fell for that. Dirty owners!
The Rockets clearly have a lot to be criticized about with this loss, but Yao needs to grow another set of balls if he's afraid to b**** about the refs cuz of some small fine. And instead of approaching his teammates about their poor effort, he goes and b****es to the chinese media? Man grow a sack. BTW... im a huge yao fan. This just is saddening.
Nah, I think Yao is wise. The Rockets management should do the talk to the League. Even Tim Duncan has been biatching/whinning a lot less after his run-ins with Joey Crawford. This League just doesnt like to be publicly critized. If u do it, the refs are not forgiving.
MY letter to TMAC: Dear TMAC, I really like you as a person. I say this because I dont want you to think this is personal. You seem like a really good guy. That being said if you just played hard for even 3 quarters you would be talked about in the class of Jordan, Magic, Bird, and Kobe. Then the Rockets would probably have a couple of championships. But instead I am afraid you will just go down in history as a forgotten player who could never live up to the ability that God blessed him with. I have watched every game since you went to Houston ( yes every one) and I live in Alabama. I have never been to Texas and I dont have any relatives from there. I just started rooting for this team because I like Yao and you. I say these things because I like to see good things in sports happen to what I perceive as good people. Thats why I am a Rockets fan. What I am trying to say is if you played the whole game like you do the last 5 minutes you would be a top 5 player of all-time. Instead you just shoot fadeaway jumpers and dont really hustle at all. I know you hit alot of those shots but dont you think if you dribbled in closer like around 15 feet away you would make like 5 or 6 more shots a game. Look, I know you have a horrible bunch of shooters around you but we can still win with you and Yaos great play. I would not write this if I did not believe you had the God Given ability to do these things. I mean I know those couple of fade away jumpers look cool when they go in from there a couple of times a game, but wouldnt winning a championship by hustle and a new will to win be even cooler. I know you guys dont get the calls but it is because the refs dont want to reward players who dont hustle. I would really like to see you go down as an all-time great, but Im afraid you will be thought of as the guy who had Jordan ability and the hustle of Kwame Brown. I know thats not really how you want your legacy to be! Do you? Best wishes, The Byrdman P.S. Dont pass up anymore layups or potential free throws so Rafer can shoot wide open threes ! I dont know if you guys know this but he really sucks at shooting. Comments appreciated. byrdman22
Once the rockets are behind, they can never catch up! If we're behind in the 4th quarter, chances are we lose! This team sucks!! Where the f*** is adelmans offensive system? The kings looked like they were using adelman's system!
biggest mistake: Mike James - can't defend, can't shoot either now bigger mistake: rafer alston - can't shoot, can't drive, too much of an offsensive liability for a starting pg. Why not let arron brooks play? big mistake: coach RA - he had bibby, pega, webber, bobby j, vlade, all good shooters, he has none other than tmac and yao in houston. he shouldn't have taken the job.
at least, fans from china can understand some english even they arent perfect.how about you, can you speak or read chinese, i guess you cant. so try to respect them and also there is another word : self-respect.
With mighty JVG defense, we will never lose to crappy team like Kings. It seems like we kinda took a big step back from last year. Last year, every other teams repected our defense and compared our defense to Spurs D. But now, our defense is not good, but that doesnt mean that our offense is superior. In my opinion, we are just a good team, but not an elite team... meaning just like other middle ranked team like Nuggets/ Warriors/ Cavs/ Jazz.. etc.. There are just not enough fire, mojo, guts in this team, man. Come on ROCKETS!!! It is not too late yet!!!!Its just beginin of december!!! Step your games up and lets go to NBA Final!!
To all the fans from china : Dont translate anything from chinese website if you didnt know they are true. some reporter may be just made up the story.
THE TRUE PROBLEM WITH THE ROCKETS IS........... SHANE BATTIER and athough i know most of you will disagree its true. Eventually rafer will get replaced in the starting line up by steve francis and soon chuck hayes will be replaced with scola but who is gonna replace the useless 3??????? Bonzi? Shane Battier has always been extremely overrated but know its getting painful I mean he cant even play the role of bruce bowen which defend the best player and than STAND IN ONE SPOT and make the open 3 on offense. I shane cannot hit the open 3 or slow down the opposing threat at 2 or 3 then what is his purpose? The rox should move tmac to the 3 and start bonzi at the 2 that the only way we can maximize our chances at winning. YAO SCOLA TMAC BONZI THE FRANCHISE
how much better would the rockets be if it was Brooks in Alstons spot? could it get worse? i doubt it
