I have to tell you that you are wrong!NO Yao ,then no win.do you understand? Yao is the leader in this team.
Kobe is a dirty player Shame on you! Laker, Hope to see you lay on the Toyota Center,with a hopeless eyes! Go Huston! Go Rocket! _______________________ Poor English!A fan from China!
Isn't it amazing how similar this series is to the Portland series? Even though we didn't blow the Lakers out in game 1, our defense was incredible, Yao was great, and we won. The media was talking about how tough we were and whether the Blazers or Lakers were tough enough. Game 2 saw an offensive explosion from the opposing team's wing player and big man and we lost the game late, with Yao totally taken out of the game. Hopefully the remainder of the series will follow suit and we take care of our home court. Yao will have limited effectiveness offensively tonight, but if he can control Pau, we should be OK. Otherwise, we should consider playing Chuck on Pau for extended periods.
MOST HYPED GAME OF THE SEASON. ---kobe's sneaky dirty players -knee to battier's head -elbow to ron artest -taunting shane cos he holds a grudge against da kobe-stoppa!! ---ron's blatant unjustifed ejection ---kobe's superstar treatment-ron gets called for getting an elbow from kobe ---suspensions ---ongoing tension between scola and vujacic and fisher of course ---fishers dirty blow to scola ---fans enraged ---tension about to erupt ---series tied at 1-1 GO ROCKETS!!! REVENGE TO THOSE DIRTY MOTHER****ERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How important is TM? When TM was playing together with Yao on the court, had Yao had any significant problem if people are fronting him. This fronting problem becomes a killer for Yao this year. AB is too short, he can not pass the ball to Yao effectively. When Yao is on the court with AB, AB becomes hesitating to shoot the ball because he is still trying hard to pass the ball to Yao. Many times, Yao's present only makes AB less productive. Yao and AB is not a good match if there is no TM on the court.
I fully agree with what you said. If TM will leave us, we will need to find a PG that is having high number in assists. Otherwise, we had better trade Yao as well.
