7'6 and can't get a rebound!!!

[Spectrum]

tracy takes too many jump shots.

tracy takes WAY, WAY too many jump shots during "clutch" time in games.

he has the talent but does NOT have the heart to just TAKE OVER A GAME like magic, jordan, bird, or even kobe or wade does. when the game is close, players like jordan, etc. would DEMAND the ball and take it to the rack or post you up. mcgrady just runs off the pick & roll and takes a jumpshot... most likely a 3.
.

That's his biggest problem right there...

 

[Spectrum]

Man,I can only dream of what it'd be like with Boozer still in a Cavs jersey.

yeah man..that is a huge loss because he is exactly the piece that Cavs are missing.... but as a Piston fan.. good riddance

 

[cbm_redux]

Yeah yeah, but did anyone see Chicago, fresh off sweeping Miami, get a foot in that ass in Auburn Hills?

 

[bigtxpimpin]

lookin at the game thought we had it when we made that run shane did good juwan sucked his soft the weakest link switch out a couple more players your choice for a scorer /rebounder and we got sumthing

 

[The Black HHH]

Somebody told me tonight that it was racist to say, "I fuckin HATE Yao Ming!" as we watched part of the game.

He sucks. He averages 19 points and 9 rebounds a game. That is not a 7'6" "dominant" center. That's not a franchise player. That's pretty good for a soft ass chinese Frankenstien who keeps getting voted into the All-Star game thanks to a bunch of chinaman fanboys.

19 & 9? Yao averaged 25 & 9 this year

 

[SpiritualPorn]

Don't remind me......

Pistons GOT IN THAT ASS AND WILL WIN THIS SERIES EASILY

Pat Riley should take notes on how to do his GMming from Dumars.....

Dumars keeps the right mix of vets and youngins

 

[SpiritualPorn]

Man,I can only dream of what it'd be like with Boozer still in a Cavs jersey.

I always say that to myself

Boozer is the damn truth

 

[SpiritualPorn]

Tmac couldnt even handle the press conference after the game.............

I dont think TMAC is a 100% into the game and wants to win like jordan/kobe etc
This series is the most competitive I have ever seen him ........... so maybe this loss will help TMAC grow up more.

Boozer was going around and over Yao the whole series.
Nothing new cause there are many videos of Yao getting used and abused ----> where is the clip of the New York guard dunking on YAO

Utah will get eaten up by the Warriors in the next series.
Utah has no bigs who play on the post and they will get run out of the building in the same way the Mavericks got run out

Sorry to say it but Dirk was shook and his confidence got taken last series

Tmac did all he could.

He passed in the post to Oww WIng a couple of times and Oww straight up fucked it up.

When Booz is lighting up a guy 7'6" you really don't have far to look for the problem.

 

[Pussy Krook]

Yao Ming sucks? Do you know anything about basketball? Name a better center? And don't name Shaq of 5 years ago.

He doesn't grab rebounds at times, because he's not athletic.

Him and Tracey came to play, they just didn't get any help.

c/s

Utah will get eaten up by the Warriors in the next series.

Niggas sleeping on Utah they are a very good basketball team. They play defense unlike Dallas. GS won't get easy layups like last series with Kirilenko and Okur in the paint and Boozer is gonna abuse them little niggas on the block rebounding and scoring. Davis will have his hands full with Deron Williams and with the way they execute there will be fewer fast break opportunities. I'm thinking its gonna be a Utah/Phoenix west finals

 

[max-dawg]

19 & 9? Yao averaged 25 & 9 this year

fuck 25 pts & 9 rebounds. it's HOW he got those 25 & 9 that matters most to me.

was the 25 on good, hard post moves where he got fouled on the way up? or was it 25 with him shooting FADE AWAY jumpshots at 7-6" tall? were those rebounds aggressive ball-slapping above the rim types, or were they tips to himself? sometimes, it's not WHAT you get but HOW you get it.

yao needs testosterone and rhythm. he plays like a mechanically-restricted robot. and basketball is a rhythm game.

don't know how old you are but do you remember bill cartwright with the bulls? cartwright didn't do much but what he did was effective and he was aggressive. if you came thru the middle, you got fouled... sometimes hard. on offense, all he had was a fade away jumper, but his ATTITUDE helped. yao is the equivalent of an older cartwright with HALF the aggressiveness of cartwright or a laimbeer or mahorn type.

yao and luther head both play like scared BITCHES, and i can't stand either one of their games. luther head, by far, is the biggest disappointment IMO... running around like a deer in headlights. deron williams with utah plays like he owns the fucking building!!!

mcgrady should have been going to the rim like a madman all series and/or posting ANYONE who guarded him on the low block. yao should have been on the weakside... waiting for ANYTHING go come off the rim.

fuck van gundy.

 

[Brother Blues]

I realized Houston was in trouble when I saw both Chuck Hayes and Shane Battier on the court at the same time.
They are nice role players,but...you just gotta have more than that.

 

[XXXplosive]

Van Gundy is outta here!!!!

[The Black HHH]

I think T-Mac is gonna retire.

 

[max-dawg]

bump... cause i'm rooting for my favorite coach to come down to houston.

LARRY BROWN... the hired gun used to TEACH the game to the talent he has at hand.

Larry Brown is good but the Rockets aren't going to go anywhere if Yao Ming doesn't get in shape and if Tracy Mcgrady doesn't become a little be more aggressive.

 

[Blunt]

19 & 9? Yao averaged 25 & 9 this year

In just 34 minutes per game (and he can actually shoot free throws too). Kinda dumb to discount a big man with his rare (in this league) skills.

 

[elchoccolatte]

As tall as his ass is, He should be gettin all boards REGARDLESS... No Excuse...

 

[nATURE BOY]

bump... cause i'm rooting for my favorite coach to come down to houston.

LARRY BROWN... the hired gun used to TEACH the game to the talent he has at hand.

you want Larry Brown to come down so he can:

1: rape the organization with a 7 mil a year salary over 6 years
2: quit after the secon year and leave the organization on the hook for the remainder of the cash
3: leave the organization in disaray

why do people keep falling for that clown?

believe me Houston...you don't want LB

 

[Blunt]

As tall as his ass is, He should be gettin all boards REGARDLESS... No Excuse...

You mean like the powerful, "dominant," ATHLETIC Shaq, ... who's never led the league in rebounding (and only has a 1.5 rebound edge on the still-young Ming per 40 minutes, and just .3 of that on the defensive boards)?

 

[mrjody]

Dont he have like 6 inches on Shaq? He sould be doing better.
How much taller is Ming than Shaq?
He should be doing better too.

 

[THE DRIZZY]

Yao Ming reminds me of Rik Smits(former Pacer).

 

[TheBlack Dingam]

lol @ having 6 rebounds in an elimination game at 7'6
lol @ giving up 3 offensive rebounds in crunch time

dat nigga yao is made of baby wipes. can't even blame mac for that one, dude had a great game.

 

[daddy_black]

Yao Ming has a perfect cube head and little grape nuts. No heart. The more the NBA tries to get away from the nigga (foreign born, age limit), the more these players flop. While they were worried about niggas coming into the league (Boy they will never shut up aboout Kwame Brown), there is a higher percentage of first round foreigners coming in and flopping. Darko was the only nigga from that draft who flopped. You have Superstars in Bosh, Wade, James, and Melo for the next 10 years. Darko is a flop. I think I might look into this deeper because I swear the numbers are there.

 

[djsurf]

I Concur!!! Yao Is About As Useful As Kwame Brown....both Of Them Have No Game!!!!!

 

[XXXplosive]

For all y'all talking about Yao's height and why he can't get more rebounds
Height doesn't mean shit
Dennis Rodman and Charles Barkley were two of the best rebounders of all time and both of them were about 6'6" or even shorter in the case of Barkley
Rebounding is all about toughness and tenacity
Attributes which Yao seriously seems to be missing right now and I'm not sure he can ever really just pick up later on in his career
However, he's still not as bad as some of y'all are making him out to be
I'll take a 25 point and 10 rebound center any day over all the other so-called centers out there

 

[cranrab]

lol @ having 6 rebounds in an elimination game at 7'6
lol @ giving up 3 offensive rebounds in crunch time

even if you were to disregard yao ming's rebounding, there is no way to overlook his piss poor defense against carlos boozer.

carlos boozer's footspeed was so vastly superior that SEVERAL times coach van gundy HAD NO OTHER OPTION than to put chuck hayes on him. that's unacceptable and ridiculous.

but there's no beef with excuses for houston.

didn't tracy mcgrady already acknowledge that if the rockets didn't advance "it's on [him]"?

and yao ming manned up post-game and took his lumps too.

NEXT!

 

[daddy_black]

Centers are like dinosaurs.

Besides Shaq, name a team where a real center was a part of the team.

 

[MasterYoshi]

Shaq has nothing to do with this. Were talking about Yao Ming here.

 

[MasterYoshi]

I Concur!!! Yao Is About As Useful As Kwame Brown....both Of Them Have No Game!!!!!

He's bad but he's not that bad. LOL, Krame Brown is one of the worst players in the league. Some players can make up for lack of skill by hustling(Dennis Rodman) but Kwame Brown doesn't even do that. He's always the last one down court and he's not aggressive on the boards at all. He doesn't even go for rebounds that are right in front of him sometimes. Brown also has some of the worse hands and finishing skills in the league. He regular drops wide open passes and misses easy dunks and layups. And unlike Yao he doesn't shoot good from the free throw line so Kwame brown is basically just garbage. And to think, he was a first round draft pick by Michael Jordan.

LARRY BROWN... the hired gun used to TEACH the game to the talent he has at hand.

...be careful for what you wish for...LB is notorious for fucking up the whole line up , alienating players and being being an all around shiesty ass mofo...he'll be out and leave you guys in a lurch as soon as he realizes he won't be able to get his way, he undermined a lot of teams, I'm not shitting on his ability but his character is questionable. I'm a Knick fan by the way so you may want to take this with a grain of salt as far as my opinion goes.

Van Gundy is a slow ass coach he loves the slow flow, he's not built to coach todays NBA...we don't want him back here in NYC either. I'm riding with Isaiah for what it's worth.

[hart]

Yao, Dirk , and most European ballers dont step up their game and play "MAN" ball come playoff time.
Shit gets serious during playoff time.

Brothers start playing like their lives depending on the outcome.

Intimidation, hardcore play comes into it
Dirk Yao couldnt match the intensity.

TMAC stepped up his killer instinct this year but he is about 75% of what Kobe's killer instinct is.

It wasnt TMACs fault they lost but I wish he would show a little more heart and aggressiveness ..... if motherfuckers fucking up............it's your team ........call them motherfuckers out in public if you have too.... fuck it...........cause now he gotta live all offseason with the loss

 

[DAHITMAN]

you got to be kidding Dwight Howard was MIA in the Detriot series. He got straight nullified. Okafor, his team didn't even make the playoffs. Who are you kidding?
