wow you're full of ****. Did you even watch the game? Not great D? YOu ought to get slapped. THey had NO dribble penetration; the rockets cut off every drive except for the threes GInobili had in the first half, they doubled Duncan and got back on D. Devin Brown hit big shots, one i remember with like 0 seconds left on the shot clock 23 feet out contested. The defense was great. Bowen was playing D, blocking shots left and right, Yao had his shots blocked left and right LOL but he had a couple himself, and the pick and roll defense was great. Parker was 2-9, mostly because he didn't have the layups he usually gets with his speed and agility.
Yao got 3 of shots blocked by TD and Rasho, yet still managed to shoot 60% (9-15) from the floor for 27 big points. It took Duncan 22 shots to score 26 points and the MVP was 7-22 from the floor for a great 32%!
OMG. That is beyond ugly. For the present we really need to get JJ back, and sign a shooter like House. For the future, can we please dump Juwan and Mo into the ocean somewhere and sign a real PF?
I remember last year, Parker passed by Francis like he is nobody. Like Tmac said in the half time, Rox took notes of that and close down the penetration from outside kicking in. Spurs had hard time putting up the shots. I hope the rest of the league took notes of what Rox did to the spurs.
it was not great D it was a garbage game untill tmac exploded, both teams stunk up the toyota center.
Unbelievable ... !!! Unearthly ... !!!!! Holly COW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy I recorded the game ... got to watch it again tonight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The video will be kept carefully for my son ... when he grows up ... I will say .... "Once upon a time .... " Sweet ..................................................................
Don't get me wrong, I love Yao, but that's just one night. Duncan deserves all the credit he gets. Yao is still learning and still getting there...but what I liked about Yao in the game was he never gave up and just kept on attacking and playing good D.
Once in a lift time come back. Yao had few great dunks. I realy like the one he almost broke the back board. The one he caught on the fast break was also amazing. TMac is just unreal. It must be an out_of_body experience. Feel great to be part of it as a Rox fan.
What was amazing is that he only missed like 1 free throw if i am not mistaken. That helped them a great deal....
One thing that i would definently like to note is that yes T-Mac's heroics were unbelievable.. I would like to give at least a little props to yao and Padgett for picking up those 4 points that we thought were garbage at that point. Without those points T-Mac's 13 wouldn't have meant much... I think they just deserve a bit of thanks as well
