Lol, whatever it takes man b/c we sure aren't going to win with turnover Rafer and powerless forward Juwon playing the way they are right now.
Is Yao looking tired out there? I mean, he's been doing so much since the All-Star break, it must be taking a toll. Either that, or Great Wall is just having an off game. Which is it? I just hope he doesn't over-exhaust himself...
Frahm can dunk. That was a surprise. I'm glad JVG gave Hayes an extended look in the second quarter. He made some nice hustle plays early, got called for some questionable fouls, and he missed a pick and roll assignment and didn't box out wilcox well on one possession. I'd like Hayes to continue to get minutes in the rest of the games this season to prove his worth for next season. I think he can be a valuable contributor. Rafer, just keep passing the ball to Yao. Don't think to "dribble and create" when Yao is open for a pass in the post, because you're not particularly good at it.
For those who complained about Alston, I did see he and Yao made a sequence of pass-post-pass-repost, which resulted in a 3 pointer by Alston. He was also responsible for keeping the Rockets in the game (sort of) during much of the first quarter.
Dick Bavetta is using shaq's comments to pay it on yao ming tonight.... I think we should resign Frahm to league minimum and waive ryan bowen this summer... at least Frahm can shoot!
A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Sonics decided to DT yao like no other team has done in the past week. Also, the refs got together before the game and said "let's play that scr3w-Yao game again".
Let's make a swap right now. Rafer Alston and Rick Brunson for Luke Ridnour and Earl Watson. We'd probably win the game . I mean, it's not so hard, just go back to the locker room, switch jersies...
Our two starting forwards, Bogans and Howard, have been the biggest culprit so far tonight. Yao had an average game.
If you don't got a touch for 4 consecutive trips down the court in the first quater, and then your coach benchs you, you prob would have an average game.
Based on current Yao, he had a bad game so far. Who knows, there still another half to turn it into a great game.
Woo!!! Another rebound!! And juwan made it???? Cannot believe my eyes! This is his first point tonight!
