Who Has Been the Biggest Disappointment So Far?

Yao Ming......

His stats are as bad as it was in his rookie year. I think he will be able to bounce-back later in the season like the entire Rockets does yearly anyways.

Tracy McGrady has not been as big of a disappointment because most people have expected him not to do very well.

 

Have to agree with this. Expectations can't possible get any lower for McGrady now, the next time he has ten points everyone will be raving about his comeback.

Yao is off to a rough start. Hope he can shake this.

 

What a low blow...

 

You and every fan that is down on the Rockets......

 

Exaggerating abit about Yao....actually his numbers are much more like 2nd year. He was really bad in his rookie year...there were games he didn't give over 10 points or 5 rebounds on regular basis. He picked up fouls quickly and was only good for 20 and 10 here and there. He hasn't regressed that mcuh .

 

Looking at it that way is one way to put it. But then I have to look at what Yao is going thru. No legit back up playing much more minutes then he should (he is going thru healing just like Tmac although he claims to be 100 percent its obvious he isn't).

But honestly I did have high hopes for Tmac with Barry and Artest coming to unload some pressure but its seems like he is unloading all the pressure?

But we are only in the first month of the season still so lets get the chemistry moving before saying who is sucking.

 

Actually, I was expecting this to start the season. We are a team that is a work in progress and need time to become a better team.

Actually, we're starting with a winning record, and I'm not too disappointed with the team as of right now. Given that Tracy's in a bad condition, Yao's coming off a surgery, Shane's not playing, and our Big 3 have only played 7 games together, there's not much to be disappointed about. This team needs time to grow and flourish, just as it did last year, and I'm confident that it will. All it needs is some luck and time.

Obviously, the team will have a lot of problems at the start, but there's still a lot of time for improvement and perfection, in preparation for the playoffs. If the team doesn't progress by then, then you can start to be concerned.

 

I pick all of the above except Luther Head. I never expected much out of him.
This really should have been a multiple options poll.

 

Artest's shooting has me bewildered. But then again so does Yao's terrible performances of late.

But when I watch the games all I see are Artest playing decent def and jacking up 3s.

If you were just to go by the box score, Artest is doing terrible!

As for McGrady, I wish he would just take a rest for 6 weeks and get better. I don't really care about seeding, we just need to make the playoffs with a healthy team.

 

I'm surprised nobody has chimed in with "the fans."
Won't be me though, Yao's been a model of inefficiency, sadly.

 

Yao, by far. He appears to have regressed leaps and bounds. He is playing at a scrub-like level, very disturbing. Hurt? Out of shape? Done? Slower than ever, and he was slow when he was much "quicker." No elevation, none. Suddenly can't shoot, not even free throws. What in the world is going on? He needs to talk and tell the fans what is happening.

 

Steve Francis..


All that talk and look where he is. Lol i wonder whats really going on. Its been 2 months and no updates on him or anything. I'm pulling for him 2 make a return but by the looks of it he is done or he really doesn't want to play anymore. He has been cleared but hasn't stepped foot on the practice court. So sad. He sees that pg is our weakest area why not step up and try to help out Francis. . I hope he makes it back real quick

 

Yao...dude has been flat so far. Tmac is playing on one shoulder and leg so its not disappointing to me at all.

 

I agree. Tmac has disappointed me, but he is clearly gimpy. Yao, on the other hand, I can't explain that at all.

Still, it's VERY early, hopefully we won't be having this discussion in a month or so, hopefully threads like this one will be replaced by, "Who has been the best?".

 

From the past experience, you cannot just believe what players say about their conditions.

When Yao told us he's 100%, he might be just 70%. Tmac always looked injured, but I do not think even the coaching staff really know.

 

He's not exaggerating at all. You have to look at per minute production to get a better picture.

This is with his rookie numbers extrapolated over 36.0 minutes (from 29.0).

The fouls, sure. But it's been 5 games now since Yao went for 20 and 10. Over the last 3 years he has only had 1 stretch of 5 games without 20 and 10 (although he averaged 20.8 during that stretch). Other than that he never went more than 3 games without a 20/10 performance last year, and had a drought of 4 games only a handful of times in the previous 2 years.

Simply put, this is the worst 5 game stretch he's had in the NBA since his sophomore season. Not promising.

 

Yao is playing down to Shane Bradley's level, almost. And T-Mac is producing V-Span like stats, two games in a row.

These two so called "super star" will be forever remembered as "soft" and "mentally weak".

And I still have to remind people of their post season success, they combined for 0 series wins, 0, and they have been in the league for long time. Amazing.

 

lets not all freak out, the poll was who has been the most disappointing so far...i'd say pretty much everyone, but brooks. that's so far. obviously we are big rockets fans, we don't want to chop on them all day, but right now they are very disappointing, especially because we all expected a quick ridiculous start, so yah i and most everyone else is disappointed, but that is not to say that we don't believe we can bounce back from this. yao is a damn good player, he won't continue this for long, he is known as one of the hardest, if not the hardest, worker on the team, he will watch video, he will workout, he will practice his shot, he'll do it all. we all know this, just gonna take a little more time than originally anticipated
