The truth: Ron, with a bad ankle, is more clutch than Yao and more heart than Mac.

    Next time, it will be Ron turn. That's how the world goes, in a circle.

    So can you honestly say that Yao had a BAD game tonight? I can't see many people agreeing with that.

    He had a decent game but he was not clutch down the stretch, are you going to argue with that?

    I will give Yao this, he had some clutch plays on the defensive end (blocks), but he missed way too many shots during crunch time.

    I retracted my comment because I misread his post. You sir, however, have a long record of Yao bashing.

    And I think Yao had a solid game tonight, especially his inside defense. Without Yao protecting the basket, Deron Williams would have scored layup after layup, since Alston couldn't stay in front of him. Ron Artest was clearly the player of the game tonight, but to take a shot at the second best player of the night is uncalled for.

    Yao's defense was super today... even as he was running out of gas, he still was a huge presence inside. Probably shouldn't have given him the ball so many times on offense when he was gassed.

    Dude, you didn't answer my question.

    Are you saying that Yao was clutch down the stretch in this game, tonight? That's all. Thats what the thread is about.

    stop trying to misdirect people

    this thread is about your obsessional manlove of Ron Artest. Way to turn the positives of this game (Artest's performance) into a negative bludgeoning Yao and Mac.

    This thread is not about Yao in this game but Yao not being clutch overall.

    Which is for this year is a lie and I just show the stats, to prove it. But one but game is enough to change Rox fan perception.

    Remember all the hate that Yao was done, he will never be good at the begging of the season now what?

    Rox fans love knee jerk reaction, next game Yao score 14 point on the 4th like he have done this season and everybody will forget.

    The truth: You think fans would learn not to get too high or too low on a player because they end up making you look like a fool. What a ridiculous thread.

    yao was not clutch in this game. (i know there're reasons and excuses.)

    i can agree to that. but if you take the condition of "in this game" away, this thread instantly becomes a joke.

    overall yao played a solid 45 minutes tonight.

    Please click link to see if calling Yao unclutch is a new thing and only applies to this game:

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/search.php?searchid=116974

    The truth is, when the game comes down to the wire and every posession counts and every point counts, Yao's (to borrow a phrase from Charles Barkley) sphincter tightens up and he starts putting more pressure on himself.

    It's not a knock on Yao. Some players love and live for the late stages of a game when it's on the line, "money time" in NBA vernacular. Players like Ron. I believe Tracy is that type of player too IF HEALTHY AND READY TO PLAY.

    It just seems Yao is not.
