Can the on-court officials hear the TNT commentator? The guy was constantly calling out the wresting that was going on in the paint. He actually use the word wrestling, instead of sugar-coat it with BS like Portland is just playing physical D.
You guys said it all. It looks like I'm watching bunch of hyenas on Lions back on david attenborough. Come to think of it its more of wwf when it comes to reacting to Yao's contacts while they haggle Yao with mma and jujitsu. Would be a bloodbath if they were any good at it.
It also somehow depends on our G, for these boys keep driving to the rim and make portland's big guys in foul trouble will also free Yao.
God damn right! I think that every fan of Rockets has the ability to command this team. b/c we know this team very much!
even with the change in reffing, I would say Yao had to get into his rhythm midway thru the 4th quarter. He was demanding the ball and fighting for position like I haven't seen too many times. He was even getting up high for rebounds. It brought back memories of when he was first emerging a couple of years back.
so do I. but we may not be this luck next game, so better prepare to fight even harder, Yao. me too. IMO, Yao did not take full advantage on this game, he can score 35 points when refs were as friendly as you and me GO ROCKETS! GO YAO!
