My question is what the hell is wrong with Devin Harris? He fouls T-mac hard and then whacks Yao in the face?
If that is what is going to fire up the team then the team is in deep trouble. This team should be fired up every game to prove themselves in the tough West. Like the Patriots of the NFL if you don't want them to score stop them. The Rockets need to get tougher. I hope by the end of this year they get the right players in here. I believe getting Artest would help out. I am all for getting rid of Luther, Rafer, Battier, and Bonzi.
The message he was sending was, "this is a high percentage play." When McGrady try shooting his long 2s or 3s, they go in about 30% of the time. Just think about that the next time he launches. Perhaps he should think about driving still when we have a lead ....
He's playing basketball, my friend. You'll note that his foul resulted in one point to the Rockets (even though it was a flagrant 1). Yao's foul on him resulted in three points. Differences like that separate the good teams from the also rans.
If the next time when Dallas comes into the Toyota center and no Rockets whack Stackhouse with a flagrant, I will lose all respect for the entire Rockets team
Those two points on the flagrant will probably cost the Rockets the game. With a team as stupid as the Rockets, every single point counts.
Basketball isn't a game of flagrant fouls. You don't see any of our players fouling the other team that hard. It resulted in 1 point because we executed poorly, not because that was a smart foul. Had we capitalized on that possession it could have been a 2-5 point possession.
Yes, he was making a statement, and I'm sure it will fly right over the Rockets' heads just like the 40-point playoff beatdown flew right over their heads. The Rockets seems to be simply impervious to their repeated humiliations at the hands of these ****ers. When Devin Harris is literally slapping you in the face in your own ****ing house, then you're just a p***y. And p*****s blow big leads in the 4th quarter all the time, so I don't know why I got so upset.
That was so ho ass ****. My jaw dropped open when he did that. We threw the ball in. I would have thrown it at his face.
If he is sending message, he should be sending it to the Warriors. What an azz. But boy, Terry, Howard, Stack, Harris, and Dirk, what a lineup. Yao should've attacked Dirk each and every play. Dont be a robot trying to do the right thing. He was way too mechanic. I hope RA will change him.
Judging from the post press conference RA is clueless as to why the team lost the game. 3 days of preparation gets you a beat down when the game counts the most in your own house.
