If these superstars want their a$$es to be kissed for donating a tiny fraction of their salary then I'll pucker up all day long. Every dollar counts and these players deserve all the credit they get for donating their pocket change-many lives can be saved so I don't care how that money is raised. And back to the Rockets, can we make a damn open shot? Our role players couldn't hit a open shot if their lives depended on it.
Hi guys, I went to the game, and it was frustrating to see Yao being mahandled by Chris Mihm. I was representing our Rockets by wearing my Yao jersey. As for the game, I think when we were making our run in the fourth, Jim Jackson would have been so helpful. If you are interested in pictures, I can post them, just let me know.
I hear ya but still it's pissing me off. From AP: ``It's for a great benefit,'' McGrady said. ``I tried not to think about it during the game, but every time I made a shot, I was like, `There's two thousand dollars, there's three thousand dollars.''' 150,000 people just died, so why f*** around by making it into a game? Why not be much more generous if you can afford to be? Not something that should be in the game thread but I just had to add my piece.
看完与湖人的比赛，积压在心底的怒火急速燃烧，“眼高手低”的火箭，三板斧其烂无比，习惯了让对手先发制人，随后在第四节玩“悲壮”，装模作样地展开绝地反击，尽管垂死挣扎，最于是无补，一次一次地重复下来，这样的悲壮已经搏不来同情，把自己的命运早早交到别人手上，死了活该。。 单看数据，麦蒂26分，姚明25分，5板，苏拉20分，一二号得分点“稳定”，第三得 第11届华语音乐榜中榜 新浪会员免费滑雪! 肝病治疗重大突破 新浪会员免费滑雪! 分点“挺身而出”，而“全能”的苏拉，还有8次助攻7个篮板入帐，这收获也不小啊！哈哈，可惜啊，苏拉的数据大都是在垃圾时间抢来的，在关键第一节和第四节，他奉献了什么？我们叫他“数据狂”不为过吧，麦蒂用他那开始一招鲜的跳投拿的26分，也没有实质意义，中远投命中率不理想的时候，应该和科比教真的时候，你的突破呢？不屑使用，还是怕出丑？ 说了半天，该轮到姚明了，赛后，一些所谓正义公正的球迷媒体不会放过他：如果不是你第一节5投不中，如果你少防守少两次失误，火箭还会输吗？问的确实在理，就比赛过程来看，也、这些确实发生了，不能因为说得过去的数据掩盖姚明的责任，但是把话说回来，火箭输球的罪魁祸首绝不是姚明，追究过错，不能把屎盆子都扣在他身上，整体攻防的混乱造成姚明顾此失彼，这一个点揭示了火箭最深层的问题，姚明速度慢，米姆也没快哪去，关键是人家其它4名的速度和防守可以暂时弥补中锋没有回来的,等回来了以后再打,可火箭其它4名球员做不到，让韦斯利去放科比，这本身就是昏招，范甘迪也太小看科比了吧？何况后者客战德州憋了一肚子火想要发泄。 姚明之所以第一节屡投不中贻误战机，经验和意识是一方面，真正令他失常还是流感，这一段的病情，使他的饮食不太规律，体重轻了很多，从电视上面明显看出来瘦了一些，下盘有点发飘，这应是他在篮下优势尽失犯规连连的主因。 说来说去，火箭的罪魁祸首就是范甘迪，顽固不化的他,无法审时度势地制定作战方案，在球队比分被拉开的时候，做为一个教练应该做什么，发脾气能解决问题吗，连外行人都知道要叫暂停了，压制一下对方的士气，看看他是怎么做的，视而不见，这还不算，反而是谁在场上刚起来状态就被莫名其妙地换下去，根本不是一个好的教练，别的教练在进防守并重，他呢，死钻牛角尖，整天研究防守，结果还是漏洞百出，进攻毫无章法，整个一不伦不类，接下来还要干什么？帕特莱利教出这样的徒弟，真是残酷啊。 估计范甘迪，不会反思自己的失误，那好,接下来继续交易，最好把姚明也交易出去，既然人家都成不可救药的软蛋了，你就行行好，就先签后换把他扫出去吧，最好送到灰熊这样最近六连胜的“烂队”，到时候看看火箭强什么样子
当可比对姚明不吝赞美之词的时候，湖人终于亮出拉自己的底牌，为拉得到这张牌，湖姚明-------王者之路只有一条 人不惜将手中最大的一张牌沙克甩出，义无反顾，尽管能否得到姚明还是一个未知数。 至此，你就可以理解，为什末可比说沙克的离去和他无关，至少在我看来，可比没有说谎。如果去年湖人能够夺冠，沙克可能会留下。然而一切随着湖人的被淘汰而改变，沙克已经不能再建立一个王朝，尽管它还有无与伦比的统治力，可是这种统治力已经在下降。如果放在几年前，华莱士赶在禁区你横冲直撞吗，就算两个邦一块，也得满地爪牙。可以说，湖人的管理层是最职业的，至少和火箭想必是这样。留下沙克，修修补补，湖人有可能还能夺一次总冠军，但已不足以重建王朝。而建立王朝是湖人的传统。 放眼整个nba,还有哪个球队比湖人更有资格建立一个王朝呢，马茨还是活塞，邓肯还是话来时，由那个雄心嘛。夺一次总冠军或许更现实一点。不要忘啦，目前，可比世权联盟最具统治力的球员，不只是球技，更可贵的是它具有坚韧的意志。看不到这一点，只是纠缠于花边新闻和口水官司无疑是不得其门而入的。 设想一下，如果以湖人现在的阵容，再加上要命，会是一种什末情况，强大的外线加上最具潜力的内线，哪个球队敢轻易言胜。很多人都在质疑姚明的能力，我敢说他们大多都不懂篮球，至少是没有正规的接触过篮球，只看到现象，没有接触到本质。姚明表现不佳，大部分原因在于火箭没有足够强大的外线，对手可以轻松的对他包夹。不信可以关注一下麦迪的命中率，用惨不忍睹不算过分吧，上一场25投8中，还要当什末老大，是不是有点搞笑。换成克比的话，胜率最高的太阳其不轻松拿下。 很多网友感情用事，用中国人的道德观去评价可鄙，这很不可取，不要忘记，这是在美国，在洛杉矶，当年张伯伦号称和一万个女人发生过关系，约翰逊曾和两千个女人有染，还换上了艾滋病，岂不是十恶不赦，可这并不妨碍他们在球场上取得辉煌的成就，和他们比起来，可鄙的所作所为简直不值一提。既然要明能和约翰孙同拍广告，为什末就不能和克比一块打球呢。 以目前火箭队领导层的管理能力，运作水平，以及球队的人员搭配，都不足以言夺冠，这不仅仅是一个大前锋的问题。或许休斯敦人还在怀念奥拉朱望时代，但那只能算作灵光一现，休斯敦从来就不是一个能够放飞梦想的城市，尽管它能放飞火箭。 到洛杉矶吧，要命，如果你想建立属于自己的王朝。
Seeing as this is a site's based in the US, for english speakers, please post in english or don't post at all. Not trying to be rude.
I can translate the last sentence: "Yao, go to LA, if you wanna build your own dynasty." That basically sums up what the article is about and who the poster is.
We have lots of problems, but the main issue with the last two games: WE GOT BURNT BY THE OUTSIDE SHOOTING OF THE OPPONENTS. Adding Wesley and Barry was supposed to fix out perimeter defense problem. I am blaming JVG for the defensive strategy: meaningless double team leaving the shooters wide open. Double team on the ballhandler works great against a team like Rockets who have laughable outside shooting, but not against teams with great outside shooting like the Suns, Supersonics, Lakers, Heat. If JVG uses such strategy against the Supersonics, we will lose 10 games in 10 outings.
That was wack! Now we're below average again with games against Denver, Dallas, San Antonio and Memphis coming up. ::sigh:: Go team!!!
That whole ESPN crew Steven Jackson, Greg Anthony, Tim Legler, John Saunders are a joke. Those guys defended the players in the Detroit debacle, saying the players were justified in going into the stands etc. Anthony and Jackson sounded like 2 clowns arguing about Vince Carter, Mike Tiriso had to calm them down. I got so sick of the ESPN commentary, I watched Worrell and Van for the 2nd half.
Someone says JVG has broken down Yao mentally ? If that's the case he's not man enough to to play NBA ball.
I completely agree. I got so disgusted with the lackluster play that I turned it off before halftime. Bottom line is you can't let your opponents shoot close to 55% from the field and expect to win. Or if you do, you better outshoot them, which we did not as we shot in the 40s. And when role players like Barry and Wesley are not hitting, it can make things get out of hand in a hurry.
Isn't it Steven A. Smith, not Jackson? Well anyways, yeah the ESPN crew are a joke to basketball, they're not even analyzing games anymore, they're trying to create drama within the teams that they have playing that night. Basketball is a sport, not a freaking soap opera.
yeah they jsut try to be all animated and get involved in everything. I have never liked Steven A Smith and will never like him...the guy is a joke in my opinion.
Tim Legler has always seemed like a Yao-hater, but he had a few insightful comments while doing the game. I agree about his comments on Yao regarding him always being half a step slow on defense. He said that if Yao would meet the ball intstead of always retreating, he would get fewer fouls. He also bashed Yao for his horrible first half which Yao completely deserved. I have never seen Yao play worse than he did in the first half. He missed his first few easy shots, then kind of stopped posting up as agressively. He wasn't rebounding, and he got burned by Chris Mihm and Brian Grant in transition. I would also like add that Mo Taylor is a complete disgrace. Yao has a pretty good reason for being slow, but isn't Mo supposed to be in the best shape of his life? To see Yao chasing his man, huffing and puffing, and then see Taylor half-assing it back right next to him made me want to throw up.
I don't think Tim Legler is a Yao hater, hes always advocated that Yao should be the first option since he broke out his rookie year. There is a difference between being a critic and being a bigot, and I don't think Legler is the former. People who never take criticism will never fix their flaws because they assume that they're perfect (which is far from the truth). His assessment were very valid and I agree with alot of what he said about Yao. Yao just doesn't have that fire that every great player has nor does Yao display the aggressiveness or the tenacity to keep going at the opposing team.
