    I don't blame him. Last time he dunked in transition, he aggravated the knee.

    it's just due to his long arms that make you think he got up high. his head is NOWHERE close to the elevation he usually gets off of dunks. his freakishly long arms allow him to dunk w/ minimal elevation (considering no one was in his path going to the basket). that's a "cheap" dunk u can say.

    it would be nice to see this exact rotation in games coming up!

    keep tmac on the bench and give him around 25 minutes or so until he starts having confidence in his health and everything.

    if it works out, he might actually like coming off the bench instead instead of starting. if he still gets the same amount of minutes and finishes games etc. might be better to start the game getting everybody else into it first, and then letting loose, our beast off the bench.

    reportedly he was wincing in pain during deadballs - all is still not well in t-mac land. if anyone still wants to question his heart, well, i don't know what else the guy can do.

    The scene I love MOST is this one !!

    I just love the power, the passion, the energy, and the I-will-give-my-all-to- win determination of Big Yao, and the great chemistry between him and his team mates !!

    You are way too much of a YOF. Can't you just be a YF?

    The solution is to get the ball to Yao creatively. Start him out on the weak side, get it to him after the pick, let him repost, etc. etc. Basically the stuff people on this board have been talking about for weeks and weeks and the Rockets still have trouble doing.

    Sigh, and that right there is the number one legitimate reason to try and trade him. I guess we'll see how his injury plays out in the weeks ahead.

    "That's right Yao, throw is down on my countryman! Oh, wait."

    I really like Scola. "Nobody promised me anything..."

    The fire he shows now is really encouraging. And the way he chest bumped with Yao leads me to hope that there's some real chemistry emerging here.

    Yao was fronted. Adelman's solution for yao getting fronted is having the the other big man set a screen on the ball, which usually gets something.

    Tell me, you don't feel the same way? He deserves all the compliment for this game and that scene! And you label people for that? Why do we have so many "Fans" like you?

    As you can see from the end of the game, Hayes is not going to the dog house.

    And now you have realized why I do not use yahoo sports. Also, download a streaming program and watch the game, lol. It's better that way. There's a slight delay, but at least you can see the game.

    Yao has millions of people of one country on his shoulders. It's kind of a big deal. I mean, imagine how many asian people are Rockets fans because of yao? Also, in no way am I trying to be racist. I'm just stating the truth. I completely understand why some would be Yao only fans. Now, when the YOFs bash all other players, that's when it is not cool. Like I said, I mean not to be racist, but just want some to realize that he almost has a whole country on his shoulders (ie: the milwaukee bucks game that drew over 200,000 fans). I am sure there are YOF (Yi) in milwaukee too, for some of the same reasons we have YOF in houston.

    Was it really multiple timeouts? Hmm. I don't know. He sure finished the game, and when he left the game with like 5 minutes left, the trainers weren't even messing with his knee. He had a cut or something.

    no matter what he does, you'll advise us to trade him. If he leads teh team to a ring, guys like you will say now let's trade him while his value is high because he'll get injured next year.


    Get off the trade t-mac broken record, we get it and have heard you guys like 10,000 times. Why don't you just put it in your sig so you don't have to post it every time - might save you some typing at least.

    I 100% agree, everybody talk about 3rd person shooter, but until now the problem still assist. Everybody know Scola can do it, but nobody pass the ball to him. Everytime when i watch rox game i felt bad for scola. He played so hard but nobody pass the ball to him. Lets imagine, if YAO been doubled or triple and you pass the ball to scola in the low post more often, do you think they wll go to double yao so easily? Sometime I just wonder why is the teammate so skeptic to pass the ball to scola in the low post, why don't they pass the ball just like passing the ball to Yao, in this case they will have 2 option instead of 1 option in the offensive side.

    In the game I always see the guard scratch their head try to pass the ball to yao but don't want to try another method. If yao fronted, ask scola to the low post and pass the ball to him. He can attack or pass the ball to yao if thet turn to double him.

    IT"S TIME to develop a new method instead keep on using the same method through out the season.
