    Landry is 100% needed against teams like Lakers and Jazz.

    kings would have a better record if they dont give up easily. the few times ive seen them play, they gave up once they are start losing

    Well, it's about time for the Kings to remember the importance of ping pong balls

    That should read that he's not a particularly good man-on-man defender. It's not so much the post as it is him being isolated on a guy.

    Is *this* what you noticed most about the 36-20 quarter where the Rockets put their feet on the necks of the Kings?

    If Yao could play like this every night the Rockets would be unbeatable.

    Yea, its the kings, and their bigs are weak, but Yao is playing tall tonight, something he should try more often.

    I agree, they wouldn't like it, which is why we should give them more than one quarter before giving up on them, but it really wasn't a big turnaround, they just hit a few more shots and adjusted a bit on D, some people here act like we were being blown out and battled back or something, it was a close game, we made the right adjustments and swung it back around..

    Yao has no FTs, he hasn't been getting to the line at all recently, anybody know why.

    Right. Was gonna say in the 1st half Yao wasnt getting the ball or making his close shots, or getting the calls. He doesnt have good stamina but he still needs to stay with it, keep on battling and try to do other things to stay involved. Offensive boards, blocks, whatever. Until the ball comes to him.

    Or just straight yell at his players for the ball
