I actually thought Yao looked a little more comfortable tonight. I am hoping he is rounding into a little bit better shape. I see some small steps from him.
Brooks is lightspeed. gotta love that speed he has on the court please coach Adelman put Dorsey in,I wanna see him play
The good news is that we are still above .500. Our only losts have come against the world champs, the western conf. finalist, and a miracle shot, while we are still gelling. Things can only get better.
We have beasts coming off the bench as in Landry and Brooksy.. Now lets see if our starters learn from our bench
He only play 27 minutes and was 0/4 at the FT. By making his FT he would been 16pts, 8Reb and 2 blocks in 27min not bad when he didn't play a lot. Thank again for the quick whistle of the Ref. The big problem I see with him today was the interior passing he is a great passer inside out but a horrible passer from the high post. He need to be in the low post all the time for him to be effective and help the team. RA need to spot trying to run his offense with the first unit. Yao need to be getting touches download 90% of the time he is in the game, not Artest or T-Mac. He need to get other team big in foul trouble early and he nee to go the the FT line more.
the good news is we got our assed whooped. and we needed that, maybe JUST MAYBE it will send a message to our players to stop standing around and play better, we havent had a good game since dallas and we still were winning or barely losing, and i'm sorry but we needed to get it handed to us, perhaps it'll send a msg to our players that we can't do this and win a championship, let alone a playoff series...we have the talent, but we're not playing as a team right now, not at all. this isn't a bash yao/rafer/mac/artest comment this isn't a omg one game lets freak out, this is an overall the first 6 games have been atrocious PLAY BETTER. YES i realize we have to work everyone in the rotation and get accustomed to each other, but that doesn't excuse the awful shooting and passing and lazy lazy defense at times, and rebounding, box out, hustle, and make smart plays...im done
Scola have been great, not problem with him. He is money from mid range and get a lot of rebounds as well as steal and are one of the few starter to move without the ball and play with a lot of energy.
Hardest I laughed today. Thanks. I can just see him laughing and saying, "You can not rebound like Mount Mutombo".
Well, at least the good news is that we're trying to fly under the radar. This team is tanking games against good teams so no one notices us until it is too late!!! We're doing a great job of it too. With T-Mac and Yao leading by example. There is no good news yet. Really. I wasn't scared of the Suns but with this new gameplan the Rockets have to suck hard, I am. Very. We're going to get whooped on at least twice more on this road trip (probably) and then we'll start to pick it up slowly and then get rolling by All-Star Break.
