Comments on: Rockets hang close to Mavericks, but can’t get it done http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2007/11/05/rockets-hang-close-to-mavericks-but-cant-get-it-done Where fans of Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets can find out the latest on Yao Tue, 14 Oct 2008 11:27:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Michael http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2007/11/05/rockets-hang-close-to-mavericks-but-cant-get-it-done#comment-4403 Michael Thu, 08 Nov 2007 18:41:14 +0000 http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2007/11/05/rockets-hang-close-to-mavericks-but-cant-get-it-done#comment-4403 Ben, there is no scientific evidence suggesting that the son is/should/must be taller than the father. Ye Li is 6'4 and Yao being 7'6, their children will most likely be tall. How tall, no one will know until the day when they stop growing. An individual's height is determined by many factors. Genetic is definitely one. Nutrition, stimulation of the growth hormones (puberty), hormonal imbalance, health, environment, etc etc. They all play into this. Since Yao is 7'6, I highly doubt his children will be taller than him. Also since both parents are bball players, it doesn't mean that his children will excel at basketball. Having said that, I'm curious to see how Agassi and Graf's kids turn out. I mean, these two are tennis geniuses.

Did any of you guys wonder how tall will be Yao 's Children (yao Mings Wife is about 6.2"?). Son is usually taller than thier father. So should Yao have a son, he is going to be taller than Yao... he could be a real force in the future NBA. Any scientific calculation anyone? Something out of the topic here……..

As for Yao, it was good to see he went 9 of 12 despite being constantly double-teamed, and it was great to see he still has his mid-range shooting touch. But, aside from that monster dunk over Juwan Howard, I was disappointed that he was so hesitant and passive when he was double-teamed. As soon as the second defender came over, he would immediately pass the ball back out. I was hoping Olajuwan's advice to him to always "dominate" would've sunk in more.

And I agree the refs last night seemed like a bunch of amateurs who's never refed an NBA game before. But, it's also fair to say that we got a few calls going our way in the first half as well. Dirk's game last night was DESTROYED by fouls called on him. So in the end, I think it was fair. Bad calls on them, bad calls on us. Also, like the above comment said, Luis Scola NEEDS to get more involved in the offense. It's not his fault but Adelman needs to draw up some plays for him. Nobody even passes the ball to him and he's open like 60%-70% of the time!!!! He's not good enough to create his own offense so he needs to get more touches.

They have so many weapons they haven't used yet. I thought Bonzi was going too much to his jump shots, and Luis Scola haven't had a chance to use much of his offensive power yet. Needless to say, Yao is not yet completely comfortable with this offense and I am sure he will adjust. Now, if Mike James would shoot just a little less and pass a little more that will be perfect. The future is bright. I am not worried about the Rockets, they are still building their offensive game. They have so many weapons they haven’t used yet.
