Because of Lakers' D! There is no time-out. The ball had to go to someone...like Yao. People are arguing AB being open. Please, go watch the video again, there's a guy between AB and Yao.
these comments are hilarious. yao plays a monster game until he's taken out by the refs, we keep toe to toe with the lakers without t-mac and artest, and little b****es still only want to talk about yao being unclutch and this team sucks. unfreakingbelievable. what game are you people watching? maybe if yao could even get remotely close to fair officiating he could give you whatever it is you're looking for.
Good game guys. Almost gave us Laker fans a heart attack lol. This Rockets team is gonna be tough to beat when Artest/Mac return. I noticed that Carl Landry was playing small forward, does he do that a lot? Or was it just a matchup adjustment to match Odom/Ariza?
Explain to me why he couldn't hit a shot to save his life in the 4th quarter. I am not talking about the stupid 2point attempt he made at the end.
he got double and tribble team. passed the ball out and got 2 assist, what do u except other than that
we lost but it was a good lost. they have a kobe and we dont. and ppl shouldnt blame yao for that last shot, it was a broken play and he had no one to pass it to anyway.
It's kind of funny that Yao was kicking the ball out all game long until we absolutely needed him to.
A closer isn't necessarily the best player on the team. If we got Joe Johnson (who's pretty clutch), Yao would still be the best player on the team.
Rafer Alston!!! He really pisses me off to no end. Rockets are going no where with him leading the way.
Stop blaming the refs, that's for b1tches. A winner like Kobe will make the shot that counts the most!
Lots of unclutch blame to go around etc but the real problem is with the refs. 'It' always matters not just in crunch time. Adding on a few fouls here and there and taking yao out of the game and the refs can insure the lakers have a nice cushion to win with while rabid fans focus on clutchtime
the refs played this beautifully. blow calls the entire game until the 4th and then call it fairly even so that everyone forgets what happened. we lost this game because of the refs. period.
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.
Man we have got to deal with this Point Guard problem. Rafer has proved time and time again that he cannot do what we need him to do. Officiating was awful as per usual. Was a really great game to watch though.
Who would he have kicked it to? The double team didn't come until Yao turned his shoulder for the jumpshot.
