yao ming is a silly whiner and he needs to shut up and learn from d.howard down in orlando how real big men should dominate and the kid is onlyu 22 yao for d.howard and our problems are solved
I'd like to see the game again to see if this was the case. It's a very legitimate point to consider. I hope he is not abusing this. I don't think it was because of that loss, his body language implies some internal problem. Noticed how the camera focused on Tmac and Steve on the bench? I'm not saying that tmac really hates steve, it's just that why would the camera would do that for so long. And tmac's facial expression was very negative.
what disapoint me the most is that this game was televised over here (sweden) ..and this was the first time I could follow the rocktes live and also an opportunity for my firends to see them. And I always speak loudly about them with alot of passion and all that. What happend?? Well we played awful I mean my firends laghed at me after the game. Thats from people who doesent even care about basketball so the Rockets as team really emberrased themself not only did the betray their fans but also those who watched the game and for those who try to get in the ''nba'' life. I just want to say that Im very dissapointed in this team and it will take a while for me to forget this game and I hope that the next time a rocket game will figure in swedish television (if that will ever happen again) plays the game like it should be played!
Good point, but understand that I'm in no way absolving Adelman of this responsibility. I've just seen too many games like yesterday's with this core of players. We lost a 2-0 series lead WITH homecourt against the mavs a few years ago, and lost 2-0/3-2 series leads respectively against an inferior jazz team last year. I just don't like this trend of this core of players (under 2 different coaches) starting to show the consistant characteristic of wilting under pressure, then vowing to the media to never let it happen again. Remember T-Mac's postgame press conference after the 40-point loss to the mavs 3 years ago?
Tmac was on a personal mission to destroy Toronto. Dude just kept jacking up shots like he was Mike James incarnate. I feel bad for our team. Steve has more heart than Yao and Tmac put together. Has only realized that you need slow soft passes to Yao. Tmac keeps trying to throw bullets into the post.
How is this any different from Shaq calling out his teammates and complaining that they aren't throwing him the ball enough?
All you people who keep saying Yao needs to be traded for Dwight Howard are idiots. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
I don't think it's becaure of Rafer nor Steve, Nor any one, but our coach! He seems lost as our players on the court!
Honestly, i'm not trying to hate, but T-Mac would've fared better had he stayed in Orlando. If he had been a bit more patient he couldve played with a REAL dominating post presence in Dwight Howard, and he'd have a much easier road to the finals. T-Mac + Dwight Howard....that just sounds like a scary duo. It sounds a lot more intimidating than T-Mac + Yao.
If he had been more patient Howard wouldn't have even been drafted by Orlando. Tracy wanted them to trade the pick. But Orlando was unwilling to do it for a star who was concommittal about signing an extension. If he had stayed they most likely would have complied to get him the help he was requesting. There's nothing intimidating about Yao right now but there's sure as heck nothing intimidating about TMac either.
Nothing intimidating about Yao? Tell that to the coaches of other teams. Why do you think he sees so many double teams? Nothing intimidating about T-Mac? Tell that to the coaches of other teams. Why do you think he also sees so many double teams? It is most of the remainder of the team that tends not to intimidate others. If you said that the Rockets team, as a whole, are not the most intimidating team in the league, I would accept that statement but I can guarantee you that other teams and coaches feel intimidated playing against both Tracy and Yao.
