    blah blah blah.

    again, yao played all but the last minute of the 4th. and during that last minute, all we had to do was to wait for the blazers to foul. yup, we sure looked a whole lot better while yao was out of the game. is that the flash point of your post?

    did you really watch the game?

    Gee I love it when noobs come out of the woodworks and take a post out of context to make their profound reply. :rolleyes:

    My question (which you quoted) was a hypothetical on if Yao could carry us in the playoffs. Learn how to read noob.

    I just looked at your past posts, and you got alot of exact repeat posts. Almost bot-like repeat posts. Someone might want check into this as it looks peculiar.

    This board never ceases to amaze me. We didn't have Tmac, Landry and Alston on the team. The guy we got to relace Alston is still learning everything. The starting team on the court has only played together for 10 games, Yao got stitches, Artest needed them, we didn't make a basket in the last 6 minutes and we still won! We have won 5 straight. We are improvong.

    Yes Adelman needs to figure out a solution when they front Yao. They obvious one is for Yao to let whoever front and the ball handler shoot a three or drive to the basket I am too tired to go into detail be we are a work in progress. We will get better and we are the 4th seed right now. We will be a force to be reckoned with this spring.

    I don't think the problem was Yao. The ball movement just halted when the Blazers made a run.

    They stopped swinging the ball along the three point line. The penetration came to a holt, and we began jacking up shots.

    Did you read the entire post? Yao can't get open, Rockets waste the shot clock because they can't get him the ball, then someone else is forced to take a bad shot. This is why the offense sputtered. If Yao isn't effective, all he does is clog up the lane and make it harder for others to drive in. In this instance, it would be better to take him out of the game. Also on the defensive end Chuck plays better against the pick and roll.

    this in itself is debatable. and i don't believe you're a yao-hater so to speak.

    but...

    pls don't come back and say "our offense looked much better in the 4th quarter with hayes in and yao out", okay? :cool:

    Don't look, but I actually agreed with you in the "don't forcefeed Yao" thread. :cool:
