Haha, how insightful? Anyways, this game was GREAT to see. From Yao's dominance over Dwight, to the overall game by the Rockets, this was definitely a message to the other 29 teams in the league. The only thing I had a problem with was Artest's shot selection. Yes, Ron. We know you can bully your way to the basket. But to take a gambled shot, instead of driving and dishing is just boneheaded. That +17 rating is incorrect. Yao is the best center in the game. He even had that pest Gortat fronting him the whole time Gortat was in there. Then Howard started fronting. I really do not know how people can sit there, see Howard dominate the weak ass Eastern conference, and call him the best center over Yao, who has to take care of the better crop of big men from the west. Was Landry seriously shot in the leg? Nothing from his game seemed like he was hampered at all. He is so darn consistent with Scola, that Carluis Scolandry can seem to still be a hustling monster to deal with. Wafer again provided instant offense. But, more importantly, he provides SO much energy that gives an uproar to the crowd. Anyways, that ends my rant.
yao ming found a way to beat fronting, get more offensive rebounds. great win deight howard destroyed once again
Contender my a$$. Although it wasn't a 20 points blow out, we pretty much controlled the game from minute 1 to 48. Not much pressure was put the Rockets. Yao hooked DW to death in the first quarter, we kind of cruised through. It's not like Rockets are putting up incredible shots, we are just a better team. I don't want to argue whether Yao is better than Howard, but one on one, DH doesn't have a chance. This game was kind of boring, not even as exciting as the Portland one. Comparing to previous 6 years, we have a serious bench now. Good things are going to happen in playoffs. But, Ron needs to calm down.
yao with the pull up J off the dribble haha, couldnt get the ball inside so trying turnaround fadeaways from the elbow and crap, pretty funny to see
someone has to carry the Steve Francis torch of over dribbling. Yao's TOs are really down over the last 10 games or so.
MAD props to Landry for coming back and playing since three weeks. Loved the energy and hustle he brought off the bench. Also, YAO MING! Thanks for owning DHoward again en route three straight 50 win seasons! GO ROCKETS!
Mark Jackson will never admit it.Yao is still better than D.Howard despite the latter's all world athleticism and size.
kings up next, Martin is injured...then GS....with SA playing portland and Utah next, we may have the #2 soon..
Very happy for the win. Things we have to work on the future: Ron Artest has to stop chucking shots. 6-21 ppl . Yes, we all want you to be aggressive. But it annoys me when you continue to make jumpshots in the 2nd half when you're obviously out of rhythm. Dont act like you're Bryant Why weren't you attacking the rim. If I remember correctly you took a McGrady-esque shot in the last minutes of the game and clanked out. Play smart buddy. I like Von Wafer but seriously, this guy acts like he's Tmac. Love how he does not quit but c'mon, it's embarassing when you force a shot and see it miss. Otherwise, love that you're hardworking. Good to see Landry play. Yao cannot play under pressure . Mutombo still has it. In all else, good defensive effort by the Rox. AKA boring game. Wasn't surprised by the outcome. This game did prove we are not solely a 3 pt shooting team unlike Orlando. They took 25+ 3 pointers wow. Talk bout live by the trey Good thing, our offense is very multifaceted. I think this game proves we have the Magic's number. This does not mean we are elite but we match up well with them. YAO>>>>>>>>>>>>>DHoward
Where are the DHoward is better than Yao? Yao is getting ready for the playoffs. Just win the next 4 games and the 3rd or 2nd spot is for the taking.
How can people compare Yao and Howard when Howard practically admitted that he can't guard Yao when he started fronting
