Yao is guarding Amare one-on-one, the Suns are doubling on Yao for each possession. As I expected, the Rockets guard air balls/bricks on wide open 3s, jumpers; on the other hand, we leave the Suns guards wide open for 3. Is the the brilliant defensive strategy by JVG?
In at least 4 possessions, Yao got EXCELLENT inside position. Yet out guards waited 3-4 seconds intentionally before making any move. Another JVG strategy to effective milking the clock?!
The Suns are at least 2-3 steps quicker than the Rox at this point. They better step up their D or it's gonna get REAL UGLY.
I believe its 8 threepointers for the Suns in the first quarter. Thats more than the Rockets have given up in a game all season. There's really no defense for it.
Suns are playing with fire if you ask me. I like the fact that perimeter jumpers is all they can get.
David Wesley is the only Rocket who's been finding Yao. Juwan Howard tries to find his own shot and Bob Sura passes away from Yao. We need T-Mac to come alive.
I think Bruce Bowen said it best on the Jim Rome show. He said the best teams like the Sonics and Suns have been able to hit the 3 pointers well. This is just horrid.
To think positively, all Western teams lose to Eastern teams today, we still be no.8 seed even we lose this game!
