    When has he? Come on, don't think too long, tell me off the top of your head when has he done so lately? Or even this season?

    Still, my blame goes to JVG as much as Yao, because he took out the group of players that made that comeback, and rewards Deke and others by setting them on the bench:rolleyes:

    JVG, I never thought I would say this, but you were gutless tonight in not sitting Yao on the bench and keeping Deke in.:mad:

    Have more guts next time, although I know the Chinese media might swarm you later on and ask you why you sat him at the end, regardless of whether or not we win the game

    Yao really sucks donight. But I am just wondering why MJ take the most
    shots today. I do not think that is the game plan.

    And once again... we have the 70 other games a season to prove that you're an idiot.

    JVG should put Yao in the doghouse like last January.

    I don't know what is wrong with Yao. The guy never seem to be able to perform consistently. He probably needs a serious slap on the head to wake up or something.

    I will say this..........there is no way he's going to dominate the game if he don't change the way he think about things mentally!!!! There is no way he's going to dominate if he keep showing passive behavior in every game and treating every player on the court like they're not the enemies. It almost seems like Yao had to play with hatred in order for him to perform well!!! Cuz there is no way he's going to play aggressive unless he's mad or angry!!

    He was hot early on. So you would think he could be hot all game along, but cost us with some TOs and fouls. Again, if we put this one on MJ, then there is something wrong with this team.

    Those shots by MJ were not because T-Mac was doubled.

    I remember last year when I almost rooted for Steve to be traded. I am a Rocket fan. I've rooted for this team a long time. I now find myself almost rooting against Yao and for Dikembe. It really sucks to be rooting against your own player. I want the Rockets to win.

    You put him in the doghouse, he will stay in the doghouse. Yao needs coddling, not tough love.

    Yao played terrible. But to be fair, Yao was put in when the lead was already small. I still believe the real reason for the loss was 1st half when we gave up so many offensive boards and made so many TOs.

    If my calculations are correct, the national media will soon start praising Yao for his play during our 8 game win streak any day now. In about a month, Yao is gonna get trashed for this performance.

    Well, whatever. He shot 10-22. That's pretty damn good. If it's not in the game plan for him to shoot so much, then it should be.
