Yao has been dominant in the 4th on previous games. But this game he was clearly worn out. Yao Ming has played all 5 back to back games compared to Ron and Tracy who has missed a few. We are talking about a 7'6 310 pounds center here, not guards or forwards. Imho Yao is the true warrior. Don't forget he clocked in 46minutes in this game.
ron should be the first attack piont when yao is exhausted.. rox would beat jazz even in the play-off because of ron i love ron!
Artest is the man...he really moves me..... Yao will mentally become a giant after this game. He know he need to take over the team at the end of the game now.
1. Artest is the ONLY clutch player on this team that has proved it this season; I think Brooks could be if he were given more of a chance. 2. My dislike of Rafer borders on irrational. I have this persistent urge to throw him in the stands. 3. If the Rockets play this team in the first round they will be beaten badly. The Jazz reserve unit is better than our starters. Folks, they scored at will. 4. Adelman's rotations are beyond explanation; and talk about slow adjustments, good grief. 5. Glad the Rockets won, but an extremely frustrating performance, as usual. This was a home game, both teams coming off a back to back, and three of the Jazz's best players were on the bench. The Rockets go into their classic fourth quarter collapse and it takes two overtimes. That's baloney.
Non of the OT would happen if stupid adelman didn't take Yao out for the last two crucial possessions. I know a win is a win but beating an injury plagued Jazzhole team like this couldn't make me happy.
ron is a beast tonight. nothing but huge props. for ppl who like to blame the refs, we got 38 ft attempts tonight to the jazz 18. so please, the refs have nothing against us
Artest stepped up at big time. That's where we need him. j*zz fans are complaining about the officiating. LOL. If refs called fairly, two centers of j*zz should have been fouled out.
that's ridiculous, you can ask NBA to change their rules, just checking each players' abilities, then let one team being deserved to win
there was a major coaching break down... you should've heard me screaming at my computer for a play to go through artest during the end of the forth.
Rox points in 2nd OT: 19 Rox points in 4th Qtr: 16 Still, hat off to the jazzholes - they got 36 asssists for this game. Unbelievable.
This game shouldn't be going overtime if Rick Adelman have some clue as to what the hell he's doing in terms of substitution. This is the same shyt i seen in other game where he took Yao out and other teams were able to kill the Rockets as a result. Why the hell if he keeps doing that?? We were up by 3...and he took Yao out?? For what?? Oh they're going to do pick and roll with Yao and pull up a 3 and tie?? This is bullshyt...even if they made 3...it's still a tie game ....but i would be concerned if we're up by 2 and Jazz pull up a 3 and win it!! But Rick Adelman took Yao out for no other reason than to beg the Jazz to drive to score layups easily. In fact, that's what the jazz did...they were able to score TWICE without Yao inside. This is the reason why the game is going overtime..and i am sick of seeing a coach that is just clueless and continue to employ this dumb strategy that isn't even a strategy..it's' just plain stupidity!!
The rox better hope they dont play Utah in the playoffs. Battier is the most overrated player in on the rox and that saying alot. Yao faded like he did in the playofss 2 yrs ago. Rafer sux. Ron showed why the rox really needs him. Scola cant guard my mama. the rox won.
