Why were Mike James and Tracy McGrady hanging around in the offseason then? Oh, and it's all the better that Mike James has a problem with Juwan Howard, all the more reason to get rid of him.
excellent loss. on the other hand, refs are treating yao like a scrub. is it going to be the case for the next 10 years?
more good news :: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2403280 Aldridge is leaving - bumping Brandon Roy another spot down to us!
Maybe Rafer & JHo was told in a secret pact or deal with Darth Les & Darth Van Gundy to help TANK games cuz they know they can't turn Luke Yao Ming to the dark side! Oh well! Maybe next year will be great for the Rockets!
From Arco, the officiating looked terrible. Yao was getting abused every time down the floor. When he finally would push back, the refs couldn't wait to call an offensive foul. He was pissed. Early in the game, there were no passing angles into the paint, and the Kings were doing a good job having one guy in Yao's lap and another all over his back. As time went on though, Yao started getting single coverage in good position, but they still weren't getting him the ball. He should have had at least 12 more points. Deke looked fantastic out there. He was blocking shots left and right (I don't know how the official scorer only credited him with one block) and controlled the paint in limited minutes. On a night when we had no reason to win and the officials were making it 8 on 5, I would have liked to have seen Lampe get some time and less for Howard and Brunson. Arco is incredibly small. It seems about half the size of the Arena in Oakland.
Rafer is ridiculous....this guy can't score and he turns the ball over way too much...i dream of packing him and stromile to get a decent guard/forward.....
RAFER MAKES MORE TURNOVERS THAN SHIPLEYS !!.Yea it almost feel like Rafer for Moochie is an even trade now!
Yao or JVG need to go off on the officiating, Yao needs more respect out there. He gets 2 hands in his back, all game long...and then he breathes on a guy and it is a foul. Silly. DD
I wish Shaq would call Yao up and they organize a mayhem day with one of these last remaining games. Get both of them to go off on the officials the same day and get thrown out with double Ts along with their coaches. Throw some wild elbows around. Yao would never do it though.
LOL - no kidding. Here's what Yao had to say about the offensive foul he got on Bonzi Wells and the subsequent T. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/3782955.html Defenders hitting each other. That's awesome. Bounce passes to refs off target resulting in a technical. Yao's reaching new heights (or lows depending on how you look at it) .
Heh, wouldn't that be something? You know Yao did step up and do the "snake" in the intro to the ASG.
