weren't the rox 1-12 for the first 3 qtrs of the game? derek anderson's basically in a contract year (player option for next season) he's not going to stop jacking up shots.
Exactly. Whe Yao is double teamed in the fourth quater, his wide open team mates not making the clutch shot is the problem. ( At least thats what happened in the last game against heat).
The Heat game pretty much summed yao and the rockets season thus far. yao has been brilliant this season. easily his best season upto now, but yet again the lack of support is showing. he was awesome in the First half, but in the second half, the heat played collapse defense on him, meaning triple team on him. that will leave open looks for our shooters, but there was noone else making anyshots to take the double or triple teams off him.
you know it's 4th quarter, but you know why it's 4th quarter? because they play much harder to him than first three. did you notice there's one time four of heat packed him right after yao got the ball. so at this situation we just need peremeter players finish those open shoots. If other teams know you have only choice you really have trouble in 4th quarter. Team play, don't overrate one player, even TD and sharq.
From what i saw, Yao couldnt free himself away from Mourning. Still doesnt explain why he has struggled throughout his career. A decent number to put up in that quarter for him would be 8.
You have 13 posts and every single one of them has to do with Yao. This is a ROCKETS website, and apparently you've paid money to talk about the ROCKETS. Why not do that instead? The whole riding Yao thing is about 2 years old, move on with your life.
Why u keep telling us Yao has struggled throughout his career in 4th qtr? U have yet to ans my post above. Why dont u address my question? Averaged as much as other qtrs and shot the best percentage in 4th qtr, and u tell us he has struggled throughout his career in 4th qtr? He should average 8 pts? And his season avg total point was 18? Which player in the NBA got those 44% of their total points in 4th qtr? Yeah I beg u to enlighten me.
And what makes you think you're the gate keeper here? Move on with what YOU like, stop jumping at people who like to talk about what THEY like.
Yao should be playing big minutes in the fourth quarter. He doesnt distribute his minutes evenly throughout the game. He is a differant guy in the second half.
Yao shot 65% in "crunch time" (4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points) last year. Let's not over-react after 5 games. http://82games.com/04HOU22E.HTM
I applaud the fact that you are so willing to admit that about 50% of your posts is about one player. At this rate, if you hit 100 posts, About 50 of them will be Yao devoted. I only ask you respect his privacy and not follow him into the bathroom for some Yao time.
That was uncalled for. Obviously this is getting a little too personal for you. Good to see anything Yao related can stir up so much passion in you.
