I started a thread a couple of days ago saying that if Yao could give the Rockets 12-15 rebounds that they would win most of their games. That thread was a little critical of Yao. So I want to be the first one to post and give the big fella props for playing big, contolling the paint, and helping the Rox post a big win. Way to go, Yao. Let's get 12-15 more next game...
Hey i've been paying attention to the whole "when yao ming blocks two or more shots the rockets win" stat and its eerily prescient. Anybody have the updated stats on this? STuart
We can probably thank KT for getting our big guys to come alive on the boards..they didnt want to be embarrased. Eddie and MoT combined for over 20 rebounds to go along with Yaos tough performance. Yao also out wresrled KT for a couple that could have gone either way.
Not to mention Posey added 12 rebounds, along with 19 points. Our frontcourt was just awesome tonight.
I usually do not like Mobley's play but tonight I think he played great defense. So My cheer is for him too. Infact, I think the whole team were playing hard tonight and go after the ball. Hopefully, they can keep it up.
Great second half by the Rockets, a lot of the determination that we've been hoping against hope to start seeing. I'm still not sure why they didn't come out of the gate with it, but I'll take what I can get. Cat's finger looked like it was messing him up, but he still managed to contribute to the team... that's the kind of play the Rockets need if they're going to capitalize on their diminishing chances. Yao especially played the way we need him to tonight. Another bizarre night for the always-unpredictable Rockets. I hope the flashes of greatness and most of all the intensity stick around for the rest of the season! Whooo!
HTown, if u want to bash him somemore, you should go to his nba thread talking about I forsee the Lakers demise. Pretty Funny!!
Early in the season, Clutch did a statistical chart demonstrating the Rockets record with Francis's various assist levels. I'd like to see something similar only with the relationship of Yao's points, rebs & blocks to Rox wins. Like the PR Francis gets for his "one of two players who is 20-6-6" only with the Rockets record associated to Yao's stats in these three categories.
umm yea did anyone see he shot 6 for 14! thats bad real bad! especially if you are 7'5! haha but a good game, he should do better then that though, damn the rockets better win!!
In particular, that came with 13 rebounds (6 offence), 3 assists, and 2 blocks. You can't argue 42.5% FG was a bad performance either. Maybe 3 TO was not something you always want although that might mean he had a lot of touches tonight with the passing around.
Tell Clutch or Keeley about it. With so many new posts every day, I want to quickly find where my post is and not reading the old ones again and again. Funny you are the one & only complaining about the font....
Let me explain this in a way your ignorant ass can understand.... If you think anyone's buying that the blue is "just to quickly find my posts" and not a desperate attempt to stand out in a crowd you have gone from "normal" pathetic to "Jazz" pathetic Got it now?
uhh maybe he just likes the blue and to be on topic... i wonder what the record is when yao gets a double double?
in one of those chinese interviews Yao said he was going to bust his ass going after rebounds because he felt responsible for letting the Bucks get a lot of second chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. so it seems that he can be a really good rebounder when he sets his mind to it.
olliez, Just as advice, one of the 2 themes used on this bbs is predominantly blue. On some monitors where people use this blue theme, blue on blue is umm... somewhat difficult to read.
