i didn't watch the whole game, i mainly watched the first quarter, and little parts of the other quarters, but our offense flowed a lot better than the other games (in the first quarter) and yao ming getting his shot blocked twice per game or w/e, so what? that even happens to dwight howard, that's nothing. rafer alston is really aggravating me, i saw one play where he shot the ball at the 3pt line, missed, we got the rebound, got him the ball again, he shot, airballed -.-' and lol @ yao ming air balling a dunk, he always knows how to make the "most f'ed up play of the night"
I wouldn't say TMax has a bad game. When he started I saw him moved with difficulties and could not jump high. He attempted 1-2 drives to the basket and could not elevate. The commentator here in Hong Kong said TMac's knee might be hurting. I hope he's fine after some rest.
He got hacked on that play early in the game. He didn't airball a dunk. You know he can at least pin it against the rim.
"Yao bruised his right knee, but precautionary X-rays after the game were negative. " from jon feigen anyone noticed this during the game? i sure didn't.
Statistically so far this season this team win as long as Yao+Ron score over 25 and TMac's performance doesn't matter.
tracy's knee is fine. just fatigue from yesterday. plus, he didn't want to barf on the court, might ruin his pristine image
if the defensive player is moving ron can, is able to, and should go right through them. its a foul everytime. ron goes through people. its a good thing.
What is wrong with our rebounding this year on some plays it looks like Yao just forgets to box out. And what was up with him letting Kaman get 23 points on him he usually destroys kaman
Rebounding is a problem because our PF's don't reach 6'10. we have an incredibly short PF group which is kind of why we're losing on the boards. Yao did forget to box out on some occasions but to his defense, he wasn't that bad tonight. and he didn't let kaman drop 23, alot of his points were'nt directly 1on1. You could blame that on yao, but to me, the reason why kama scored so much was coz our guads were getting killed and yao had to come help D when Davis drove into the lane so often. coming from a backtoback, i'm sure fatigue played a role in this game. the fact that he has somewhat got his shooting touch back makes me slightly happy
actually the rebounding is bad because our perimeter players are getting beat and the bigs are having to challenge/attempt to block their shot. this leaves their man in perfect position to rebound because no body is rotating over to box out.
It was fatigue or something like flu (because of that towel). It definetly wasn't anything physical. Even ehwn he was on the court, he didn't even want to see that ball. Shouldn't have played in that game, but we still won. This game doesn't matter, tomorrow matters.
Yao must change,turn solidly like laundry and artest,he can't always display a invincible attitude,that's his fatal fault,on the court u must have a faith of reign.
Artest said in a post game interview that Tracy was ill. Thats why he played so few minutes and he was covering his mouth.
