They blew these games under him too.....this team has been blowing 4th quarter leads since Yao and Tmac were paired together. DD
ROFL..he just came back buddy, if i go by what you say, than everybody must be traded, battier did bad when he came back, hence tmac and artest
That is what I said. Yao should not have set the pick. You don't send Yao to do that because Philly knows he's not quick enough to roll to the basket in that amount of time. That call was just silly. Should of threw it to Yao in the block.
I missed that Rocket team: Yao played like MVP Wafer/Rafer/Barry shot 50% 3s Scola/Landry made layups and midrange Js
I have seen enough games like it this season. The owner, the GM, did you watch this game? Something is wrong with this team...
I've been a constant Battier backer since we traded for him. This season with his injured foot he looks even slower than he already was. He's like Chuck on offense. Other than the corner 3, he is useless on offense. Aaron Brooks, man were all of us high on him. He's hit the sophomore wall and lacks a pulse at this point. He's shooting as bad as Rafer does, but does not defend or run the offense. Yikes!
You, I, and the Glide are in total agreement. Yao didn't even have to take the last shot. If a double came find the open guy and let him take the shot.
Play dekembe over hayes.We need length,shot blocking,intimidation,rebounding.We can't hold leads playing matador defense.
And lets be honest the pick and roll never works unless T-mac and Scola is doing it or T-mac and Landry.
Yao does not get any calls. The refs let anyone guarding him get away with a lot bs down in the paint. They do what ever the hell they want with Yao grab and shove the refs don't see any of the crap. Why hasn't Deke been allowed to play in any of the last couple games?
But we NEVER win close games with Rick.. <br> We won a considerable amount more under JVG It's not really about Van Gundy, its the fact that Rick Adelman is absolutely horrible at drawing up set plays
I officially give up. Battier's defense is gone. I love the guy, but he just seems like a liability out there now. He barely scores and can't defend that well anymore. Artest tried playing in the system, but he just doesn't fit. Adleman is not coaching this team right. I so badly wanted him here, but I don't understand his substitution patterns. Wafer should have gotten more minutes. Reefer is the biggest piece of **** player since Snottie Quitten. I am so depressed that we have not managed to get a decent pg in year 5 of Tmac and Yao. Tmac played better tonight and hopefully he gets a lot better. That is our only chance of doing anything in the playoffs this year. Though I doubt this will happen. Yao missing that free throw at the end....wow
Artest was completely ineffective in the 4th quarter, my god this guy pisses me off so much. He should only stand and spot up for threes. Any time he catches the ball he tries to go 1 on 1 iso and throws up a brick. Not only that, his defense is slacking too.
T-Mac played well but took the lazy way out at the end. Wafer needs to play more. He's proven that he's a productive player. Artest and Brooks need to step it up. Another solid game from Scola. Rafer, as he's done his entire career, showed us why he sucks. Battier is clueless out there. He should be moved, because somebody else who's more productive should be getting those minutes. Deke needs to play period. Adelman needs to give him 10-15 mpg.
<font size=3 face=times>Same ol story, can't deliver in the clutch... whats next for this team? Another first round exit??? I'm just upset now.
