Only reason why Yao is chasing Parker around is Steve can't stay in front of his man. Yao is just trying to be a team player but like alot of people say...he is just too d@mn slow.
If you would just say fukit and not chase around Parker when Steve gets beat, maybe Steve will try harder next time.
He played 21 minutes and got 15 mins in the first half. I don't know what's your standard for effective. BTW, last time I checked we still only have 24 mins per half. Can this board just be a little bit more positive and supportive to the Rockets? They are still in the game.
You guys are amazing.... Tim Freaking Duncan is setting the pick on Steve. Do you think Steve can get around the most fundamentally sound player in the league? If Tim wasn't such a great low post player, he'd be running PnR all day long.
Hey... I AM a positive one. He's just been NOTICEBLY tired around the 8 minute mark of each half... and it got so noticeble, that the announcers pointed it out. Yao has such bounce in his step when he has all his energy (just see how high he gets up for rebounds and his jump hooks), and when all his energy crashes... its damn apparent. I understand that a man that big has a hard time sustaining energy... but its very obvious he's winded tonight.
hopefully that is 20-1 by the end of the night, b/c the rox are only going to score 80 if the spurs play the rox 3 on 5, and even that might not get it done! but the rox are hanging around, that's a good thing.
Don't worry guys. It is a setup. We're setting Spurs up for another comeback win like we did last game. We got them surrounded.
Has Steve EVER, and I mean EVER gotten up off the floor by himself? I mean, he literally will not get up and sit there for 4-5 seconds until someone pulls him up. Let's recap - no dribble, no shot, no pass, turnovers galore, no defense, and NOW, he can't even get up by himself. Seriously now... $11 million???
