there are still major flaws with this team

synder- Byron Scott was right, he is a ballhog, once he makes up his mind to drive to the basket he just will NOT pass even if Novak and Battier are wide freakin open

Novak - he's a keeper

battier - he's a keeper,however he lacks rebounding/height/vertical to be an every day pf

yao - feet are injury prone,still foul prone,

tmac - back is injury prone,terrible outside shooter,borderline ballhog

vspan - dumb decisions, just look at jvg's face when vspan has the ball, he can't shoot from outside and is a turnover waiting to happen

lucas- just terrible defense,very very short, will be abused

juwon - time has passed him by

mutumbo - old, but he's on a good contract

wells - what a joke. if there isn't a trade in the works then the rockets really have a bonehead in this guy, oh yeah, did i mentian he's a terrible outside shooter

jacobson - will be cut

hayes - extremely extremely foul prone, and gets abused by centers, can't shoot outside to be the right pf, basically has no spot on this team other than to take minutes from juwon

Godness! Hayes can not play 5 definitely!

We need another bench center other than Mutombo. We need another trade. Yao would be enjuried easily after a big game like fighting against O'neal. Why JVG can not understand this???

Hope Yao's OK with his ankle.
V-SPAN had 8 TOs!! It seems that he has to learn more about the NBA Game!
Click to expand...

No~
If you had watched the game, you would find that most of his TOs are travling calls that can't be so strict in regular season.

Span did a really nice work while he was leading our backup roster in the court. He is glaring with the ball in offense.

Yao would be Ok after several days' rest. Not a severe situation but we should be careful....

Chuck is a 6' 6" rebounding machine. Dwight Howard is a 6' 11" rebounding AND scoring freak of nature. What did you expect? If there is one player in this league who could completely neutralize Hayes, it's Howard.

Allow me to point out the major flaws in you:

- You are incredibly ignorant.

- Your opinions are astoundingly myopic.

- You have no patience.

- You have no sense of appreciation for basketball talent.

- You are depressing and negative.

- You are unfairly harsh.

- You are overly irrational.

I could go on, but it's no use. You'd probably do a much better job of castigating yourself than I could anyway.

Tracy McGrady led the Rockets with 18 points, but played sparingly in the third quarter and sat out the fourth. Yao Ming had 13 points and 4 rebounds before leaving in the second quarter with a sprained ankle.

The All-Star said the injury was minor, and he sat only as a precaution.

"It's not a big problem," Yao said. "If we had practice tomorrow I could do it."

So he's fine

You're out of line buddy. You are scorning the racist, but you are making similar remarks.

What difference does it make what race he was? He was ingorant and insensitive

I'm not your buddy ...PAL, save your political correctness to yourself, if you don't like what I have to say , just ignore it like I'm gonna ignore you.

I still want to know what race that ahole was so everyone can take a real good look at him.

After all, the reason Deke was beside himself because that
loser lobbed a racial slur towards Deke.

Funny how yesterday this team was amazing and prime for a playoff run. All of a sudden, they're in the lottery again. Make up your mind people.

Probably the wrong post to post this, but since I can't start a new post, here is what I wanted to say:

I watched the highlight from the Rox - Heat game over and over again for the play where Shaq got a steal and Dwade had the reverse lay up on Yao. I thought he used 4 or 5 steps. can someone confirm for me on that one?
should that play be considered as a "travel"
