I think some of you guys are obviously unaware of how well the Bobcats have been playing of late.

This was a good road win for the Rox.

Yep, they are a good team and not a easy out.

A few nights ago the Spurs also had problems with the Cats.

If not for Yao's miracle 3, this could be a totally different game; if Bobcats can knockdown their open shots, this could be a totally different game.

Rockets just got lucky this time, overall this whole game is a disaster, ugly basketball from both teams.

I didn't watch the game, but the +/- boxscore of Aaron has him at +12, and Lowry at -1. Yet the way that everyone is acting, Aaron would have lost the game for us. What gives?

To counter that double of Yao late in the game, Adelman is going to have to bring Yao out to the high post and use him as a screener and/or let him shoot the jumper from out there as an option. The team needs to practice that along with having Yao take those mid-range jumpers in rhythm. He doesn't shoot the jumper that well in games because he doesn't get a steady diet of them. I'm confident if he does shoot them in practice he'll start making them in games.

Yao will never be a better jump shooter than Artest. Try other ways, put Yao in high post is playing to other team's hands, unless it's just a set play to set up a screen.

It's even worst than Yao in low post not take any shots at all against front defense, at least he'll have chance to get offensive rebounds.

AB and Ron almost cost us a game!
Now Ron's problem is coming......
He always force to shot,and I think he doesnt believe others,AB just want to shoot,although Yao shoot a 3,that's the problem of AB

Bad News? Ron plays 1 on 5 again and almost kills the ROckets.

Good news? Ron makes two clutch plays at the end.

Worst news? Ron makes two clutch plays at the end and is congratulated by everyone on the team. Encouragement to keep dribbling and playing one on one.
Click to expand...

True. But we have a coach, right? Because he should blame Ron for playing like this game after game, and I don't see anything. ¿?

Another thing: I don't want Brooks on a winner team. And I don't want Ron either. You must have them with important minutes, and they end ****ing you more than helping you at the most difficult moments (playoff moments). They can't play on a contender.

Imagine Lowry and McGrady instead Brooks & Artest. That final TO by Aaron doesn't happen with Ron. With Tracy, if he sees that Yao has made the last 2 shots, he pass him the f*ng ball and game finished.

But Aaron, Wafer, Ron... these guys have sawdust in the brain. No f*ing idea of the TEAM concept.

Yao scored on a fadeaway, then a 3pt shot, and then Ron comes back with dribbling the ball for 15 secs and shoots a crazy shot, I figure he learn his lesson from the Lakers, but he is too stupid to comprehend common sense.

Yao proved he can still shoot the three, although his foot was inside / on the line, but who cares #11 !!!

P.S. If Yao does not get block of the day on NBA.com it's clear Yao gets no love. Also his three should be the play of the day

Because Brooks played with other starters who saved his ass. It's not like he did anything that good. Lowry had to play a lot minutes with Yao, Scola and Landry off the court.

My favorite part of the game was when Lowry got sacked to the floor in 4th quarter...limping around... only to finish on a strong drive on next possession...

However, this game was too close for comfort...

To quote the guy at the last page of the game thread that called artest an idiot for not running out the clock.

we were up 3, artest had a wide open lane, wallace was trailing just behind him, if he becomes the idiot and loses the ball because of a) slippery shoes b) slippery floor c) butterfingers d) he just feels like it than wallace wouldve stolen it with about say 2 seconds? than he would either call time out (if they had one) or shoot it up from half court. anything is possible, he couldve tied it with a half court three so HA artest is not an idiot for scoring and putting as up by 5 so either way we'd win by 2 or 3 if they made their last shot!

Yes.
Common sense says you take the lay up. No question.

Some people are just looking for a reason to whine.

Our time is uncoached most of the time. Did you remember the last time when we had a great offense play or diffense play after a time out by RA?
It's too hard to tell what they really wanna do after the time out or what RA actually tell them.

agree, Larry Brown is a much better coach than RA.

Yao's stats on 3 pt shot:
This season - 100%
Career - 20%

So inconsistent but he's hot this season, therefore shoot more.
