    I agree totally with the SMALL BALL crap. That has to go. It only works on different teams, and the Mavs weren't one of them. Ming needs to be more involved like in the Wizards game. It looks like he is coming out of his rookie shell and flowing w/ the offense.

    Mobley, his 0-8 crap on Friday night, just killed us. That zone was they had was a piece of s$%#!!. But Francis and Mobley could of broke down that zone down w/ penetration. That wasn't there on Friday. But it seemed like Hawkins did the job against the Wizards that Mobley should of done against the Mavs.

    Yao is a rookie. Dont put too much pressure on him.

    Pffft.... he just gets started in his NBA career and you expect the team to just throw him the ball on every posession? I recall you telling someone else in this thread that "If they are biased they got nothing to say." Tell me how you are not biased? For heavens sake the guy was being doubled and pounded and was fatigued. I highly doubt he would have continued his performance level during the second half anyway!!

    To sum everything up, to state that Yao is even close to being the first option on the team is pure stupidity. Experience is the key factor here, Steve has been the leader of this team for most of his career. I don't think Steve should just throw that role away for a guy who has had 2.... I repeat.... 2 good games!!!

    Gimmie a break..... :rolleyes:

    Yao is a decent player, but not even in steve's range yet he needs a test in the games offensive wise. Yao does good latly in the games but Yaoonly has to worry about scoring. wait til he gets to Duncan, Shaq, or Garnett hes going to be beat up down low and his offense will struggle.

    This is not a useful thread. At least not what we need right now. I am a YAO's fan. Frankly , I became Rockets fan because of him. But as a fan, I don't want to watch the team I like lost. That's just not the attitude you should have to watch the game.

    There are some media already implied the situation Rocket might need to face in the coming future, the situation(KOBE VS SHAQ) that Lakers faced back then. IMO, as long as they play well together and win the game, I don't care who is the first option. Both of them have the capability. It's not the time to discuss who is the man right now, at least not before Rockets gets a ring.
