BIG FELLAS ARE IN CHARGE NOW!!!!!! Cat and SF combined made 7 for 25 shots Yao, Cato and MoT made 26 for 41 shots. We can beat anybody if our big guys can shoot more and little guys shoot only when they are supposed to shoot. Good win, no bash.
I was pretty mad at CD for not signing CHilds...... BUt he now seems like a GENIUS for deciding to go with MJ!!!
I wasn't lucky to see the game but I'm delighted with the win. How many times did Yao and Mo score in the paint today? What was wrong with Steve Francis?
At the end of the third, with some 20-22 seconds left and the Rockets holding the ball, Francis AGAIN did the isolation play to milk out the clock... and it failed miserably (desperation shot). Is this what Van Gundy wants every time? They had plenty of time to run a play.
Clutch, thank god we are in a position to allow SF to still do his junk, albeit, much less than before.
It maybe luck but it probably is a skill. I play basketball, so I know that the passer can pass to the right spot such that the shooter has an easier time to make the shot. It is possible that as good as MJax is, he knows how to pass to make the shooter make higher percentage shots.
I'm really glad that Yao became more aggresive...and congratulation for 37 points!!! But, what I really want to say is this!! "Welcome Mark Jackson!!!" His playing just showed how a true point guard can contribute in the game!!! He was great!!!
can anybody who watched TV recap this ? Orlando guard Keith Bogans sat out the second half after bruising his right leg in a second-quarter collision with Yao. ... At one point, Yao delivered a quick elbow to DeClercq's face, caught a pass from Mobley, knocked DeClercq down and dunked to give the Rockets a nine-point lead.
How about Mo Taylor!! He keyed the big run that took the game out of reach. Mo could have scored 37 against this Orlando front line. Dude is way underrated by the national media. He could be a first option on a lot of Eastern conference teams. At this point, I say Mo is definitely worth his contract.
I was at the game tonight, and yao was truly amazing. I've never seen him play like that. Everyone in the arena was truly stunned. It was funny listening to all the magic fans being completely puzzled about how to stop yao. It was practically like a home game for the rockets with all of the asian fan base coming out to see yao.
An all around ass kicking... thas what i like 2 see! Lets hope they can keep it up 2morrow in Miami and come home with a win streak... Everyone and their mama better man up and buy some tix to the Sacramento game on Wednesday and show their appreciation/excitment/support for our rapidly improving ROX. I'll be there for sure!
