Really? I seem to recall a lot of complaints back when JVG was the coach that we couldn't / weren't getting Yao the ball enough.
First of all, learn to use the quote function, it will make you look less like an idiot. Now, back to your "That "millisecond" doesn't effect crap" crap. Yes...you talked about 'crap' in your own crappy post. How appropriated LOL. I can tell you have your back against the wall when you had to be so lame to recycle the Nate Robinson block. Yes he was blocked by Nate Robinson in one of his 20000+ plays in the NBA. And that's enough to give morons like you an orgasm every time you think of it. ROFL. Every Rocket player is my idol. And I do respect the posters who give fair assessment about them, whether good or bad. There are a few posters who always mention the weakness of Yao and I have no problem with them because their comments are valid and fair. They are not the same as morons with severe inferiority complex like you whose sole purpose being here is to relentlessly trash our players, or a specific player for whatever obscure reason that you have. I know creativity is not your strength but the fact that you keep trying to repeat what I have said is annoying. You are the one who got all worked up after having been exposed as someone who possesses no knowledge about competitive sports at all. As for myself, I don't give a flying ass to whatever names you chose to call me. Apologist? ROFL. So who's the one with low self-esteem here? Obviously it is the one who has to call himself a 'Superstar' in the cyber space.
that argument is terrible. jumping 6 inches does not cause that much wear even for a guy as big as yao. the constant year round work outs and long work out sessions cause way more wear.
I know many people are down on Yao for not winning a championship yet, but keep in mind, only ONE team wins per year. Expecting anyone to automatically bring you a championship is not that realistic. It takes a team effort, and the Rockets haven't found that combination yet. Yao has plenty of areas he could improve, but if we could only keep one player from our current team, it would be Yao every time. He can't will the other players to hit their open 3's. Ron needs to take better shots and fewer 3's. Ron should back it down on weaker players (almost everyone he plays against) several times/game. I'd also like to see Yao shooting some 15-18footers when he's open and not rushed. He's the best shooting big man out there I think....just doesn't get enough chances to prove it. Ilgauskus gets his share of outside shots and hits them...same with Okur....why not Yao? I know I rambled a bit....just tired of Yao getting the blame for the entire team.
I would agreed somewhat with 3 and 4 but #1 is flat out wrong, yao ming defense has been real good, did you see how he block duncan when duncan try to go 1v1 with him..the only thing bad about his d is his pnr defense I would be tired too if i have to play 20 mins straight no break, this is what I dont get about ra time management
Rocket will be rebuilt around three new giants: Artest, Brooks and Adelman. Yao, please leave this team!
Its not just Yao. Years of Shaq playing like a beast has spoiled most NBA fans into thinking every big man must play the same way. There's nothing wrong with taking a hook shot you know you can make 80% of the time instead of drawing a foul.
