Does Yao going out make the season a little more enjoyable?

Once the winning stops, you'll be the first to change your mind. This team as is will not go far in the playoffs. We lack an inside presence. Our points in the paint are way down. Perimeter shooting will get you nowhere.

 

The lack of all those frustrating turnovers is nice.

 

no, I wanted to shoot myself in the face when he got hurt. Thats not what I call enjoyable

 

To answer your question, no, its not more enjoyable. I miss watching a dominant force at work. I miss knowing we can compete and beat anybody. Now, this team is built on a house of cards. Sure we can win, but we'll get exposed soon enough. And I'm not looking forward to that.

 

Hmm ... I think winning 17 straight games makes the season more enjoyable, with or without Yao.

I do feel bad that Yao can't share in the success of the team right now.

 

It would be a much much much greater joy if yao is still in lineup. shame on you.

 

You mean since the pressure's off so far as winning a championship goes? Kind of, but the team is still going to play their guts out trying to advance in the playoffs. I'm not looking forward to seeing them lose, if they do.

And I've got this lingering sense of disappointment. I was really looking forward to the Rockets tearing people up in the playoffs.

 

Why are you starting this stupid new thread? There's already a dumb thread call "Who thinks this team is better w/out Yao?". This belong in that brainless thread.

 

Yeah we're almost like the GSW except better. We have no baller down low in the post where we can just dump the ball to for 22 pts a night and then he'll grab 11 boards for us.

Once our hot shooting stops, and T-Mac has an off-night or gets double-teamed every possession, it's going to hurt.

To me, the games are just as stressful. I don't want to lose with or without Yao. I can tell you this much, I sure as heck wish he was here. I don't know if we can make it out of the first round without Yao. They will devise a scheme to punish us down low.

 

NO, are you crazy !!! I enjoyed watching the team gel with Yao.

Now it will be harder to win the championship.....and that is what I want.

DD

 

It's amazing how the Rockets managed to win the last 16 of the games Yao did play given that he is a turnover machine who clogs the lane and make games unenjoyable for all involved.

 

I understand what you mean, but the title of your thread is pretty egregious.

Sounds like you're saying you're happy now that Yao's out, BECAUSE he's out, and weren't happy before.

 

yeah, i do believe the team without YAO wont go further in playoffs.

but on the other side, we got more expectations from those young guy now

 

I haven't felt this happy since the 05 season but I know that I can't put my expectations so high with Yao being out. Part of me still feels sadness as what's good about a 17+ win streak without the trophy? Let's get out of the first round first.

 

That and the up tempo style.

 

I might be a little more proud of this team, but I'm definitely not enjoying it more. If/when the Rockets get knocked out the playoffs, we'll be left with a "what if?" feeling.

 

Dude, why are you starting this thread?

Rockets fans are totally not in the mood now. This kind of threads just never helped.

Again, why are you starting this thread?
