You can't be this obtuse unless you just want some attention. Yeah, Yao was the reason we lost the game.
Yao was having his best game of the season, up until the last 6 minutes of the game. He needs to be someone we can depend on down the stretch. And Rafer was dribbling the ball entirely too much down the stretch. I would have liked to see the ball in Wafer's hands instead out on the perimeter. He was making things happen.
Not to mention the fact that the Lakers sent double and triple teams the moment he touched the ball. He was guarded by a 7'0er, with the guard giving pressure up top, then another 7'0er came over to help. He found his open teammates pretty well.
Kobe missed playoffs when he didn't have help, Lebron missed playoffs when he didn't help in the weak east. KG missed postseasons before he got help and won a ring. In today's NBA, no single player can take scrub team to playoffs in West conference. You need at least two all star level players.
The best part for me was Yao showed some leadership initiative and we fought hard all the way. I hope people don't start pointing finger at each other. We desperately need some chemistry building right now.
ITS TIME FOR RAFER ALSTON TO GET INJURED. ITS TIME FOR BATTIER TO AT LEAST TRY TO BE BRUCE BOWEN (without the dirtiness). ITS TIME FOR TMAC TO SIT THE F DOWN AND HEAL HIS ASS ITS TIME FOR ARTEST TO GOTO THE OSTAR GAME ITS TIME FOR WAFER TO PUNCH RAFER IN THE FACE ITS TIME FOR YAO MING TO SNAP! ITS TIME FOR ROCKETS FANS TO REALISE WE WILL NOT BE ADVANCING PAST THE FIRST ROUND (slight chance...maybe...) ITS TIME FOR YAO MING TO TRY TO DUNK...
we didn't get the ball to yao down the stretch and there's not really much he can do about that. He can score in any quarter at any time but not if the other teams collapse on him. If mcgrady or artest are playing, they can create for themselves or perhaps ease the defense on yao for him to take over.
You screwed your own logic. Yao makes 8 figures, which means you need to become more demanding and inspire yourself. Or you could just sit back and enjoy your life being avg.
Yao played great.....the center centric players do not always hit the key shots late. They get doubled and it is up to their teamates to take advantage. Elie, Cassel, Horry, Smith, MadMax etc..etc..etc... If Rafer hits those 2 FTs, or if Kobe misses that 27 footer...Yao would be getting major props. He played AMAZING ball tonight. DD
Someone who does what haters do = hater. What our fans can do on this board? Being haters or fighting haters. You can't just make 6 figures and direct the NBA team by posting on this board. True fans need to step up or jusi sit down and do as what haters do.
its time for you to realize that this is last year's slogan its time for you to stop posting in caps actually just stop posting all together
