    He needs to be in that situation more often. Last year Rafer always got the chances, not Yao. That's a learning process.

    What a win..these are the games that makes you believe they can be a good team.. they didn't play particularly great, however, they pulled it out against the Spurs, Hopefully we can keep it going

    Missing three out of four freethrows with the game on the line is non-championship play.

    But. . . . . . . . . . . .

    Well, a win is a win, especially aganist a good team like the Spurs.

    That said, Yao can not be the leader of this team if he misses three clutch FT's in a flow. As a leader, he needs to make it happen in the clutch time.

    And whoever said T-Mac have no clue. Without TMac we lose this game.

    Yao is unclutch. But Rockets wouldn't have been in this situation if they looked for Yao more early.

    A W is a W, but you don't win games playing like that in the last 3 minutes: missed FT's, bad shots, etc. Offensive rebounds saved the Rox today. Yao needs to shoot A THOUSAND free throws in practice!!!

    Only saw the last 7 minutes or so. It looked to me like T-Mac was doing a pretty good job of setting up his teammates.

    Yes, Yao missed some big free throws.., but Duncan has missed key free throws before, is he not their leader? Come on, yes they were big, but don't foget about the big rebound and the dunk/foul off that rebound.

    No kidding. I wonder if Yao will stay after the game and shoot FTs. We all know how he hates not hitting those FTs at the end.

    yao nearly cost us the game, but he was very good from quarter 2 and until the last 2 minutes of the 4th.

    tmac was very poor in the 3rd as his conditioning caught up to him. but he understood that and really became a playmaker. that's what we need from him.

    scola and landry are AMAZING. hayes go to the doghouse.
