I hear you, but when Tracy is on fire like this, Yao better settle for being Robin. Yao should be good and rested for tomorrow's game against the Celtics. He should erupt against Mark Blount and Kendrick Perkins. After Tracy's game tonight, it's Yao's turn to be Batman.
Mark Jackson is an idiot. I can't stand his crap. Plus, I know you dont' wanna see a brand new episode of Kobe/Shaq here in Houston, right? you wanna see Yao and T-Mac fight over whose team this is? accept who Yao is.
Yao only had 2 rebounds tonight because: 1. Foul trouble. One offensive and one phantom. Enough to sit him on the bench. 2. They plugged the middle up pretty well so there weren't that many short rebounds. Nets were bricking for a while from mid to long range so there were a lot of long rebounds. 3. While Yao was in the game shortly rockets were shooting pretty well so no offensive rebounds to grab either. I'm happy with his performance tonight in the limited time he had. A win makes everything much better though and that performance my t-mac was just out of this world I actually shed a tear. sorta
Really ? If you take out Yao's 18 points. Rockets will lose. If you add Tmac's 35 points to each of the last three games,Rockets will win ! [ We can win without Yao but we can't win without Mr. McGrady.[/QUOTE]
The best part about a win like this...... all those lurkers who start a new pessimistic thread after a loss, asking the ballboys and their dogs to get fired, are sitting in front of their monitors, shocked, for about 5 minutes, before switching back to p*rn. Spare the bandwidth, thank you!
Not that I don't think Yao wants to take it to the next level but why do you think if he did, Yao and Tracy would fight over whose team this is?
Glad to see that JVG gave Luther 30 minutes tonight, JVG used him at PG, SG and SF. He did OK didn't do great but JVG needs to keep giving him these kind of minutes, he might be the best thing that happened this offseason.
This is one of the worst officiated games I ever saw. Swift looks totally stupid out there. Head should start. Welcome back to the team Wesley!!!
I guess TMAC bring this team confidence. previous three gaMES HOU got a lot of open shots and ca not deliver them. tonight is much better. superstar is superstar although only one game. go HOU, 10 straight win!
I don't know if they will fight over this considering both of T-Mac and Yao are very unselfish. . But I certainly don't ever want to see it happen. It's all about not taking chances. Of course, When T-mac is on fire, and score at his will, Yao, as nice as he is, is not the type of guy who would b**** about not being to rack up a few ponts for the sake of nice stats.
Can someone use two hands to push opposing center out of the block while figthing for the position? Collins does it to Yao every single time. Swift cut down to one stupid drive today, that's a plus. He still needs to find a way to contribute more. Howard is a world better than him right now. Head played aggressive. I am not sure I am entirely trust the ball in his hands. We might find ourselves another 2 guard in 1 guard spot. Errr. Of course it's only his 4th game.
I already see the winning formula for this team.... Just let Yao dominate the 1st,2nd and 3rd qtr, and then have T-Mac help dominate the 3rd and take over the 4th qtr all by himself and we will win 95% of the time.
