[Game 35] Houston Rockets at Atlanta Hawks [Jan. 3rd]

[T-Wack]

We'll see how much better once he breaks his foot again (for the eighth time) in a couple of weeks.

Wow, are you seriously hoping for that to happen? I mean come on man, Yao is a hard worker, great player, and an awesome teammate, he has his flaws, but that's the price you get for having a player like Yao. You can't possibly sit there and attack Yao's effort, while T-Brick is sitting on the bench not playing in back to back games (like Shaq LOL), and clearly his effort is being questioned. This statement from you proves nothing more, but you care about McGrady than the Houston Rockets organization. There is only so much McGrady can do, you need Yao; or you aren't getting anything.

I'm not hoping for it, I just think it's inevitable.

You folks made a mental mistake in the final play of the game: you folks had a foul to give, and you folks did not use it. Poor coaching, just poor poor poor coaching.

You folks put Yao on the bench too long in the 4th quarter. Yes, offensively, the Rockets were doing the job, but defensively, you folks were letting the Hawks driving to the basket for easy layups.

Yao's T-mobile commercial: eat the luther Head

Can't believe someone is defending McGrady here. Its just sad.

Can't believe that it's always the same old debate . They are our two franchise players , IMO Artest's gone after this season , so we live by them and we accept that . Both have flows , both can be great , we never had the greatest Tmac and the greatest Yao sadly (if we could have Yao of 2 years ago against the Mavs in 2005 , we would have beaten them ) .
So just let it go , they are part of our team , as well as everyone , and constantly opposing them is not good .
** always hearing bad things about Yao is really tiring
** and always seeing guys answer "but , Tmac is worse " is also stupid..

And BTW , personnal advice abcdef , let it go , just don't answer when people say crap , it's not worth it .
Or , do it if you want to bring up your post number

Im not someone who likes to blame the coach for a loss. But i must say adelman did a horrible job coaching this game and im not an adelman hater i just think he made some crucial mistakes.

Like someone just mentioned they had a foul to give and should have used it once someone began penetrating.

Second how did we make no effort to go 2 for 1 with 36 seconds left. We inbounded the ball all the way on the other side of the court. I do not understand that strategy, we could have thrown it to yao right away in the post or let raefor or brooks penetrate for a lay up or open shot. Either option would take about 8 seconds. That would give us 4 seconds atleast for the last shot. We only had 1 second left and had to force a fade away 3 pointer.

Two crucial coaching mistakes u gotta atleast make an effort to go 2 for 1 in that situation
