Dude, just trade yourself away to another team since the Rocket's stock is low. Maybe you want to become a Spurs, Mavericks, Suns or Celtics fan?
Kobe and T-Mac would be the closest thing to Jordan and Pippen. we'd get a lot further than with T-Mac and Yao. the problem is right now both of our superstars are soft and can play awful at times. If we had Kobe, the best player in the league who plays hard 24/7, and t-mac supporting him, theres no doubt in my mind we'd make the WCF at least.
i don't think yao let rox down. in contrast, before yao was ejected, he contributed 29 points. he is also a dominator of rox.
Because of Yao,I loved this team... But, to be a ROX fan ,was so sad ,so many times... For championship,Yao should leave for a better team.
Why those guides didn't give Yao the ball? Why they defenced so bad? Why you guys think this lose came out because of Yao? He is doing so much.What do you want more from him?
Dude go back to the Mav's board. We know you are not a Yao or Francis fan hence you cannot be a Rockets fan.
I'm really sad to see this comment,but it's possibly the truth. I'd belive that it's just one occasional bad ref,cause I heard that this ref was a vice-ref with Donaghy in most games last year.Maybe its just his fault. By the way,I think perhaps Yao was too gentle before.This he expressed his anger and this may have some good effect,I really hope he can do these moves more ofen so he wont be pushed around by the refs. Those calls were obviously wrong,everyone can see that,even the opponet's fans. Yao ,you shouldnt fear to be penalized,you should tell the truth loudly and call for the just treatment!!
"Skip to my Brick" continues to let this team down. He is a joke. He can't shoot worth a damn, makes stupid passes, and always makes the other team's point guard turn into an all-star. If "Brick" is the starting PG when the playoffs start, this team has no chance of getting far.
Its funny that the same action ,same positon,same effect can result in totally different calls from the refs... What are they doing,What the ****ing rule do they call with?I doubt does the NBA have one general regulation?!Or they just call according to their own mood.Its weird!
I want Yao to shout loudly to the ****ing ref before the camera ,"**** u *******,you idiot!How can this be a ****ing foul!!!" and let everyone hear clearly then Chinese media all boycott the NBA may have some effect to change NBA ref's decision.
Link Time for a few more chats aboard Rockets Airways Time for a few more mile-high meetings? This time, however, after Kings 107, Rockets 99, it might be tough for Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady to cook up a solution for the Rockets' problems. A little more than a week earlier, the Rockets returned from Miami with a six-game losing streak on board and spent the flight with a series of meetings that returned the offense to a version of the motion-based, read-and-react schemes Rick Adelman had planned all along. The offense turned around enough for the Rockets to win their next three games. But the Rockets' offense is fragile at best, with the Rockets 28th in the NBA in 3-point shooting and forced to take far more than any team shooting that badly should. Lately, they are missing layups, too. On Saturday, Yao and McGrady combined for 69 points while making 22 of 45 shots. The rest of the Rockets scored 30, making 13 of 37 and just two of 14 3-pointers. "We just don't seem to finish plays at the basket like we need to," Adelman said. "We're missing layups. I thought we were playing fairly well in the first half. We had a little eight-point lead there. We let them catch us, and they took over in the third quarter." That brings us to the inflight agenda. The Rockets' shooting will stink on occasion. They rely on 3s. They have few players that create easy baskets. They are certainly not built for speed. Defense should be there every night. No matter how many wide-open 3s or can't-miss layups they miss, the Rockets' defense should be as consistent as Yao Ming's height. "I can live with us missing shots," McGrady said. "It happens. I can't deal with us turning the ball over and giving up easy buckets and fouling too much. There's no excuse for it." In the first seven games, when the Rockets went 6-1, they allowed just 42.5 percent shooting. In the losing streak that followed, Rockets opponents made 49.3 percent of their shots. In the three-game winning streak since then going into the game against the Warriors, the Rockets allowed 36.7 percent shooting. Golden State made 51.9 percent of its shots, going through the Rockets so easily, the Warriors had 28 on the break and 50 in the paint. The Kings made 44.8 percent, scoring 21 fast break points. The Kings operated so easily, they committed just five turnovers, the Kings fewest this season and half the fewest any team has collected in a game against the Rockets this season. That is the Rockets dilemma this season. Play Mike James and Bonzi Wells in a search for offense and the defense suffers. Go big minutes with Chuck Hayes and Shane Battier (when he is missing his 3s as he was on Saturday) and there is not enough offense around Yao and McGrady. Eventually, the way the Rockets run the system will create offense. That, however, will be a season-long process. There is no learning curve to explain the unreliable defense. On a night the Rockets had just two players in double figures and one of those did not have a field goal in the final 43 minutes, it might seem the Rockets lost because of their offense and they might have. But that's the way their offense is these days. The defense is the true measure of the Rockets. They have a pretty good chance to win when they defend; they have none when they don't.
Yao has down well,but the refs has destroyed Yao.The rule for him is different from the opponent's,its ridiculous,are there two rules in the court of NBA when one can does everything while the other was forbidden to do any?How can you call this a game?
That's what all the board is hoping for but I wouldn't hold my breath. I mean, how many times have we felt this way and yet nothing has changed? Yao argues a call, shows emotion after big plays, gets pissed, comes up big in the clutch, hits someone, complains to the media - those are some of the things that have previously inspired hope in us that Yao would finally be more aggressive, be more of a leader, be treated more fairly by the refs etc. I think we'll have to live with it, the coaching staff just has to come up with ways that doesn't allow the opposing team to neutralize Yao so relatively easily and he'll be fine. He scored almost 20 pts in the 1Q! Kings adjusted their defense and it was over. Most of the blame for that is on coaching, imo.
