    This is an old, old story: a team with consistent shooters against a team with no consistent shooting. Sad, pathetic, sickening.

    Hmmm, maybe during this timeout Adelman can come up with something better than "stay positive you guys, it'll be OK." I mean, I know he's only our head coach and all but maybe, just maybe he'll have a play for us or something. Wishful thinking, I know. :rolleyes:

    Hard to say, but I'm worried come playoffs. Yao is so easily shut down.

    Rockets need a perimeter player, Rockets need a healthy McGrady.

    Call me delusional, but when Yao is fronted like that only McGrady knows how to get open shots for Yao and our team.

    Rick Adelman knew all season long that fronting Yao is a problem but he never figured out a way to fix it.... This is why he isn't winning coach of the year... One style of defense beats us every time..

    You want to know why Rockets always falling apart? They only desperately search for Yao Ming when they absolute need to. By that time, the opposing team know they only need to have one defense, and Rockets don't know any other offense.

    I do no want to face Dallas in the 1st round. Terry plays like Jordan against us.

    LOL!

    Kids, get ready to see a lot of fronting on Yao in playoffs.

    Superman with a Kryptonite stake deep in his heart has better chance of saving the world than Yao Ming helping the Rockets against a fronting defense.

    Is it really that hard to guard jason terry????????????

    He is 6'1 and All he does is shoot jump shots! Is the guy guarding him leaving him to double damp or something

    Artest is a glorifed jump shooter.
    I knew the mavericks would be a problem. We need to avoid them at all costs for the Play-offs.

    and there are still ppl who say Yao is the best C? sorry but he is too easy to shut down and he can't bring the rebounding, and easy points, like Dwight. Yao is as good as the opposing defense allows.
