Him playing 40 minutes is not a problem or risk , we are giving him days off from practices and that what will help. Although I prefer a fresh Yao for 34 minutes than tired Yao for 40.
I really appreciated the article translations. I could do without all the in-game photos posted in the game thread, though. Those were kind of annoying, actually.
Yes, because flopping while running down the court while you're on offense makes TOTAL sense. Especially when you're 7'6 with foot problems. I hope my sarcasm meter is broken.
2-0 to begin the season. I wish it would always be happy like this, but i know the Rockets will still have many challenges to come. I just hope our support will never waver.
Our biggest so far will be Tuesday against the Celtics. The game was voted by the fans to appear on NBATV.
Against teams that have two 7'0 guys playing at center and power f. But how many teams have that? Its funny that Hayes did the best jobbing guarding Dirk being the smallest of the 4's. but back to the point how many teams have that big combo? Memphis and Dallas.....Phoenix.....who else? Lakers....
although if your saying practice is equivalent to real games it doesn't still make sense. in practice your team mates aren't intentionally being hard or tripping people. You are doing more play running if anything.
what a great day, my first post!! i love the fans here, been following the forum for the longest time, tried registering before but to no avail but finally the system is good...thanks CLUTCH!! anyway, it feels so good watching yesterday's game, Ron Ron, is whats been missing in Clutch City all this while, now that we have him, lets work on getting better as a team and AB....he's definitely the future of Rockets!! Always love watching us beat Dallas.
Definitely going to be a huge game against the Celtics because you want to beat them to retain homecourt advantage if we happened to meet them in the Finals. And trust me, homecourt does mean everything....if u look at the history of NBA Playoffs, teams that got homecourt throughout usually are the Champions.
man it breaks my heart to see mcgrady hurting on his knee and shoulder.. this team can be something really special but we just need him healthy and we are unstoppable.. lets go mcgrady!!!
Great to feel so much love flowing here for Rockets. Everybody played great specially our young guys Aron, Carl and Chuck. DWade and Miami pounded SACtown today. Maloofs are geniuses.
When I saw T-Mac like that I just had a really really good feeling that something special is about to happen with this team. It's not often we can go into someone's house and extend the lead(especially in the 4th) with T-Mac on the bench.
