    Look how fast TMac gets up the court at the 0:37 mark. We need THAT guy, not the imposter that has been playing. :(

    No Tracy, no worries.
    No Barry, we'll be alright.
    No Shane, We're in trouble.

    No seriously, I have a feeling someone is gonna step it up.
    Yao?
    Ron?
    Scola?
    Landry?
    Brooks?
    Rafer?
    Head?

    Who's it gonna be?

    I'd just like to see 6 players in double figures, with a strong rebounding and defensive game. and team play with passion and hustle.

    Those are my keys to the game!

    The thin air is rough on visiting teams. Yao will be gassed early, BUT, the Rockets generally play well against the Nuggets. If Artest shuts down Carmelo, there is a chance. Scolandry must score big, and unleash Brooks. Houston wins in a close one.

    What I liked about last night's game was the ball movement.

    It's definitely a good thing when 5 guys score in the double digits.

    But Yao still has be the focal point. The Rockets have to utilize Yao's effect on the opposing team. If they double Yao, then Yao can pass out. Yao can create space for his teammates. And if they single him, Yao is dominant inside.

    During last years 22 game winning streak, if you recall, Yao had played 12 of the 22 games.

    And the next 10 games of the 22 game streak, you had T-Mac driving that team to victory.

    What I'm getting at is, either T-Mac or Yao has to be the focal point. You need a superstar.

    But you still have to pass the ball, and give the open man the shot.

    What's good:

    #1. Pass the ball.
    #2. Five guys scoring double digits

    What's bad:

    #1. Not utilizing either T-Mac or Yao Ming to be the focal point of the offense.

    JVG understood this. That's why when he was the coach, the offense ran through T-Mac / Yao. But the problem was, there wasn't enough ball movement. Everyone else just stood still while T-Mac / Yao did their ISOs.

    Adelman's offense is more exciting in that there is motion, and there is a lot of ball movement. But I fear that Adelman is ignoring T-Mac, and especially Yao Ming. Yao has to get the ball in the low post. If I am "Addled-man", I would play TWO systems with the Houston Rockets, as long as Yao Ming is their center.

    When Yao Ming is in the game, and he's going well, I'd play "Inside-Out" with a lot of ball movement.

    If Yao Ming is not in the game, or he's having a bad game, I'd play more of the Addle-Man "every-man" offense.

    They are playing well. This is going to be a huge game.

    We will need nearly everything to go right.

    They are going o get their points, so we will have to make shots.

    Not having Batman to help out on Melo hurts.

    Luther with the game winner!!!
