Hey MOF, I love that you completely ignore McGrady's woeful shooting (6-19 FG, 1-5 3P-FG, 2-4 FT) and 6 TOs. But where did you get Yao had 3 TOs? Out of your ass?
You guys are truly pathetic. You call yourselves Rockets fan? screw that. Yao had a great game but people still call him out, why Yao shud be traded? A guy who worked his butt off to keep us in the game til the very last minute deserved to be traded? 6 blocks aint enough for some of you Basketball specialist? Come on fakers, just in the offseason people were being reasonable, there were plenty of guys here expected a slow start,6-6 with the toughest schedule aint too shabby in my book. Did any of you honestly think we are already better than the Mavs?The Spurs? Suns? with new coach, new player, new system and most importantly 12 GAMES IN. Its a ****ing 82 games season!!! You pathetic losers have zero patience --- get lost, stop pretending to be a fan.
wnes, you're not new, so I hope you stay respectful and not pull a rookie on me... if you examine my post closely (as closely as a 5th grader with a B average in school would), you would discover that my post wasn't actually dissing Yao by mentioning the 3 TOs.. I actually said "Yao had an absolutely huge monstrous game with 30 points, 15 rebounds, 6 blocks, and only 3 TOs." some reading comprehension skills, and minimal critical thinking would lead you to the conclusion that I was actually saying positive things about Yao, especially if you examine my diction describing his game as an "absolutely huge monstrous game"... as for the Tmac argument, it's not like 15 points is absolutely great by Tmac.. I didn't need to mention his subpar shooting and his excessive TOs because his Points statistic says it all, but I was focusing on the positives that he had IN HIS 1ST GAME FROM A FUGGING TORN ELBOW LIGAMENT.. grow up a little man, you don't have to come to your man's rescue everytime someone mentions his name in a sentence.. YOFs are getting so ridiculous they even attack you if you say good things about Yao..
The blame is on the coach, not the players. He has the weapons but "choose" to use pre-season performance to set his rotation. He's wrong, dead wrong. After a 5 game losing street, it's time... Yao really deserve better guard play then this crap our PGs are putting up. Rayfer had a decent game today but it's not enough. In the 4th, they need killer instinct and it's not there with the big 2. I just knew they would lose once the lead got down to 5 points. The coach put in a "defender" PF on Dirk and he scores twice. The other PF who was doing so well the last 2 games? Where did he go? I don't know either. I didn't see Luther make the 3pt shots but man he is a liability on anything other than that. He IS not a point and he shouldn't be handling the rock. Yao did just about as best he can to win the game but they still lost. The light however, is at the end of the rainbow. There are still 71 more games to get ready for the real season. I don't think anyone here is seriously thinking the Rockets will not be in the playoff. With this team, it's not a possibility. Now, this 5 game stinker may help in the long run because it may. pause. Get Rayfer to the bench. Yes, I still blame him. That's how bad he is. A decent game for him and it's still not good enough.
I am not interested in your TOF gibberish, sonny. Answer the simple question, where did you get Yao's 3 TOs?
Saying Rockets will never trade Yao is untrue. Obviously Yao has great value, I don't think they will trade Yao for anything less than Kobe Bryant. No other team has asset to acquire Yao. And if we were indeed offered by the Lakers, then I say we shouldn't hesitate trade for perhaps the best player in this league right now.
In Les' eyes, Yao has more value than Kobe. Easily. If you were Les, would you trade for another superstar that MAYBE could increase your chances at a championship? Or keep Yao "moneyball" Ming who'll give you more international viewership as well as endorsements? I don't think Les is willing to trade away his bank account for a "chance" to win.
oh my bad.. 2 TOs dip$hit, is this better?? sorry for misreading the TO column, I apologize if I hurt the feelings of any Yaos, wnes's, and YOFs out there, I untruthfully added an Extra TO to Yao's stat while arguing that he had a GREAT game, and I take full responsibility for that! attaboy wnes! you caught a mistake!!! attaboy !!! (by the way, if you count the play where Yao lost it out of bound and we had a shot clock violation because there was less than a second on the shot clock, that would give Yao a third TO.. just for your information nothing more..
dude, no matter how many viewers Kobe attracts, Yao attracts waaaaay more.. think about it, IIRC, there were 300 million chinese basketball fans (watching Yao), the same number as the whole entire population of the United States of America.. it's not even close, if you're talking profit, Yao would win in a landslide against anyone else in the history of professional sport and I don't see anyone coming close to his record anytime soon..
why don't we just trade yao for Ryan Bowen ? I'm sure Ryan will be able to do better againist Howard or Boozer
Misreading stats due to cross-eyes is not a problem, but it has become a pattern of TOFs/YOHs who often go subconsciously blind on McGrady's suckiness. Did you not realize that?
Just trade Yao..quickly. ASAP.I'm sure someone else will come up with 30-15-6, then trade that someone else away too. why? because he's best in the game.
just out of curiosity, did you catch any part of tonight's game? did you notice what happened when Tmac was taken out? the lead went from 17 to 4, the team looked completely lost without him.. you gotta be fair when criticizing a player, I agree that he blew the last play by not going all the way, but it wasn't exactly a "bad" shot since he was open.. if he would've drove to the basket, it would've been a sure 2, but he blew it, that's it. but to say that he sucks overall just isn't fair for Tmac just as it is to say that Yao caused the loss tonight (which I hope no one is saying)..
