did yao ming not say that when his team loses he feels responsible? yes he did. first off thats the sign of a leader. and 2nd of all, he hates close losses. i have a feeling that YAO will have a breakout game against philly. watch all season if the rockets play a good team or they play a game after a close loss YAO plays extrordinary. he feels like he has to make up the loss for his team. now we just need to get him to play phisical and strong mentality every night we play. go rox! don worry i have a good feeling this guy will get us a ring.
I noticed that too. When Ming performed big, it always against a good team. Lakers, Dallas, and Spurs. He said in the post game quotes that he need to be more aggressive inside, which I think was part of the problem for Rockets tonight. He did not have one single-dunk, lots of jumpers. Man, I call this leadership as well. Accept the responsibility and move on! I like to see him block 5 shots from Iverson tomorrow.
yeah if he can just get the mentality that U HAVE TO PLAY BIG AND UR BEST EVERY NIGHT! which he will get that way . we wont have a problem against any team this guy is the real deal. when everyone ditched him i stayed on this forum and kept telling everyone.
I agree. Yao Ming is a clutch player. He missed so many shots in the NO game, but the tip-in sent it to the overtime. I read before that Yao Ming was very clutch in the CBA championship game. The thing is that once you are good and clutch before, it boosts your confidence so much that you are most likely to do it again. On the other hand, Steve Francis has not had much success before in pressure time. If you have seen his performance in the NCAA tournament against St. Johns, he is just not that good under pressure. Lots of players do not want the ball under pressure, only one player on that Sacremento team wants the ball, it is just amazing!
