5 games in 7 days. Why don't you e-mail that guy on ESPN who gives inspections on teams who need help. We should all e-mail him to make a report on the Rockets.
Yao is not that tired. The Rockets should feed him the ball early in the game then. Then let him gather his breath on the bench. Yao getting many shots will put him in a rhythm and make him more effective offensively. Maybe the Rockets should make it more of a halfcourt game against the quality teams on the NBA. The Rockets running with the Mavs will never benefit the Rockets. Yao has offensive skills, and the Rockets should use them more frequently.
I think we're talking about a more profound sort of tired. Bone-weary tired. Dragging your ass because it feels like you've had the marrow sucked out of your bones. That sort of tired.
In order for the Rockets to start winning on the road, they're going to have to score more points than their opponents.
