There's no doubt in my mind that Portland got a little home town sugar from the officials. That said, you can't leave it up to the officials....
Dude, who cares? The Rockets just dropped two in a row, the offense looks like garbage, and you want to come in here and pound your chest with...
Maybe so. But what bothers me is that he was open. I'd still be pissed off even if Roy missed that shot and the Rockets won, because he was...
What really, really bothers me is that I question the commitment some of the players have to following the coach and playing his offense.
My opinion is that if the guy's got a hand in his face and he still makes the shot, fine. But leaving him wide open? Come on.
Bottom line: the defense broke down and left a shooter open. That's not a good thing. Also, I'm not sure miscommunication is the issue....
No screen, Artest doesn't switch. That simple.
The guy was 31 feet out from the basket. If T-Mac had been at least covering him who knows? For a team that's supposedly very good on defense...
If he needed another example, however, it came in that last eight-tenths of a second after he made his shot when Tracy McGrady lost Brandon Roy...
Brooks can make a bounce pass to Yao, a big guy. That alone is pretty impressive. Rafer can't, btw.
Anyone want to make a bet that Brooks moves in as starter sometime this season?
I hope DD doesn't mind me ripping off the title of his thread but it seemed appropriate. First off, the Rockets didn't deserve to win last...
Oh yes I absolutely believe that. Explosiveness means being able to explode, and Yao simply does not do that. When have you ever seen him...
The problem with your (1) is that it's impossible to quantize. If Yao's consistently drawing a double team without the ball and that opens up his...
Yao has physical limitations absolutely. On the other hand he has compensating strengths. To go along with his lack of quickness he was an...
That depends on how you define "scoring option". If you think FGA is a valid measure without taking into account actual points scored than...
The question isn't Hakeem's overall fitness when he was over 30, it's how his 30 year old version compared to his 25 year old version. There...
I'm not sure that leading the team in FGA is such a great thing, especially when you don't lead the team in PPG or FG%. Similarly since usage...
T-Mac looks a lot more confident in the high post and it's really feeding his aggressiveness. BTW, there's an easy trick to see how committed...
Big road trip coming up followed by the Hornets at home, if I'm not mistaken. This is going to be a brutal stretch that's going to say a lot...
