    Sure, lots of you saw YAO's number: 8pts and 8 rbs. But did you watch the game?

    1. YAO was clearly not the JVG game plan for last night game. and he was doubled even no ball in his hand, and tripled when he had ball! And you know what, one thing piss me off is: rest of team don't know how to play 4-3 game. We are the worst team to defend PnR and clueless how to run PnR when TMAC out. What ugly game by ROX?

    2. you can acclaime YAO made the team slow down. Yes, of course. But most of game lat night, he was on the bench. See what happen? ROX played like 5 headless fly! Yes, they made their run at second Q, close the gap to 1 point, but this was happened when NASH on the bench! When he went back, see what happen? Come on, you think w/o this team can beat SUNS? we are differnt level team! SUNS OFFense is much much better! they know where the ball will go, where to pass. See their PnR? The only time we played like good team is first 6 min at second half! WHY? because YAO was doubled and Bowen made his damn shots! SUNS totally ingore Bowen and pour their D TO yao. THAT'S why Bowen got open shot, and he made it!

    3. Why ROX D is good? because YAO as anchor! You see what happen last night? our slow, slow Guards totally got beat up by SUNS 3-point shooter! What happen? YAO either stay on the bench or inside the paint and didn't help them to protect the outside!

    4. One thing I really don't understand and it happened several times: WHEN YAO help defend NASH with another ROX , DW left his position to triple NASH! what happen? NASH pass the ball and htey made damn open shot! DW, do you need help YAO to defend?

    5. Most of time so far except last night, every time when YAO rest on the bench, team just simply crashed!!!!!!!!!! YOH, are you blind?


    I am not saying YAO is perfect, but put everything on him, is just not fair! One day when you lose him, you would know his value behind the numbers


    I will still hold YAO's ground!

    It is really irresponsible to blame Yao. Yes he sucked last night, but the other nights he played well. If we're expecting wins from Yao while others are not producing.. that is sssoooo unfair.

    Look at it rationally. Although we lost these games, it wasn't really so bad because I kind of expected it, because it's hard to win in a league full of talent with a team with a major injury problem. You're depleted, you're down on your psyche, it's hard to win until we have some stability on the Rockets.

    It's totally ridiculous to believe that Rockets can just go and win games because they're the Rockets, we're a team with lots of holes with guys out, even if everybody is healthy, we still haven't get the chance to really gell.

    As soon as people become healthy, we're gonna be better than last year's team, a lot of our problems will be solved.

    Look at it from the bright side, at least we give a chance to tested out Luther Head and know for sure what he's capable of, and Head is gonna help us in the playoff run because he's getting critical playing time and will get more experience.
