Once again, you're an idiot. Absolute moron. The point of boxing out is to put yourself between the rim and the person you're boxing out (in this case, Boozer). Watch the replays. Can you guess where Yao is both times? The correct answer would be "between Boozer and the rim." Its unfortunate that the rebounds went long, but Yao did what he was supposed to do. When you box out, you're putting yourself between your man and the basket. Which is what Yao did. It doesnt matter how well you box out if the rebound is long and bounces behind you. Agreed. Ball bounced behind Yao. No amount of boxing out would've helped. No it is not. Not surprisingly though, you understand neither.
I've figured how it out. This team can win it all as is if we do the following: T-mac is not allowed to shoot much on Monday, Tuesday and Sunday (with absolutely no 3's on Sunday. He should pass more at home. Biggest thing though, he should never, ever, be given more than 1 of rest at a time. Rafer should pass more on the road. Should be given free range to shoot on weekends, but on Sunday's he can only shoot 3's. Most importantly, his minutes should be limited severely on Friday's. Shane should not be allowed to shoot on Monday's and Wednesday's. Head can be okay if. He only plays on the road. He should only ever plays if he has had no days off or exactly 2 days off, though he is okay after 3+ days off. He should only be played on Monday, Sunday, Wednesday & Thursday. He is money on Monday & Sunday. A. Brooks minutes should increase on Saturday & Sunday. On Monday's he can only shoot threes & on Friday's he cannot shoot any. He should only every play on zero days off or on 3+ days off.

I don't think scola would suffer that terrible injuries which may keep him off the the court for so many games. He is always healthy although he can't jump high enough to reach the hoop for a dunk. His paces remind me of our legend ,Dream.
here is my rough translation Title: Rockets has potential to make top 5 in the NBA. One player will be the perfect match in Houston July 8th, Houston did not make any move after their lottery picks, even with free agents like maggette. and we didn't see morley making too many comments. It looks like this summer will be very quiet. This seems to disappoint houston fans, because houston haven't made it to the 2nd round playoffs in so long, so adding depth should be the goal of the team. This kind of situation shouldn't be surprising, lets look at houston fans across the atlantic on this issue. On clutchfans, a fan bimathug indicates that it's a clever and informed decision for houston to not make a move. First, he thinks that even without the best player last season, houston got 55 wins in regular season. Under this assumption, houston only needs a few experienced old players or some young atheletic players in order to do something real in the next playoff. bimathug realizes that with yao and scola starting, rockets got 12 wins 0 losses. This along is enough to indicate the problem. Houston fans shouldn't quickly forget scola's position as a starting power forward bought core changes to the team, and with scola's first playoff series, houston and jazz's series were in fact very close. scola is a good compliment for yao, even though yao missed playoffs due to injury, the argentinian power forward was an important functional part of the team. When yao returns in oct, rockets will have a terrifying starting five, and they can be in the top five in nba. Second, for maggette, bitmathug thinks houston's problems cant be solved by him. To have a third option is great, but it wont guarentee playoff success. houston's main problem is that besides alston and mcgrady, houston lacks a efficient ball ahndler or a play maker. that is why alston and tmac played very long in the season. head has proven to be unacceptable pg, and old bobby is better to play along a pg, and brooks isn't ready to take over yet. this is why brent barry is the best candidate for the rockets team, of course this does not consider his age. first, his salary level is not high, enough for rockets who is under pressure for luxury tax. second, barry can be both pg and sg, and can make threes. last season he had 43% avg, career 40%. thirdly his career he had played along the best scoerers. in sonics, he played with ray allen. if rockets really can get barry, he will add flexibility in the rotation. he can go in for tmac, and he can go small and play at small forward. the key is he can play with any guard. even though he's 36, his competitive level still remains high. this is agreed by chron sports column figen?, he thinks barry's arrive will help rockets add depth at 2 and 3, and this will provide time for green to grow. for jackson's contract, this fan thinks that it is rocket's secret weapon this season. when the market opens in feb, morley will have plenty of time to trade him for someone who is a better fit for the team. with francis' expiring contract, houston has a total of 9 mil contracts expiring. this is enough to get a really good player. many examples prove that even though winners prepare early like last years celtics and lakers, for majority of cases, if you make a move at the last moment, then you will be the final winner. houston already have a very powerful rotation. this team does not need major changes, all they need is patience. if theres something unexpected during the season, bobby jackson's expiring contract will be houston's ticket to solve the problem. 08-09, rockets is ready!
