He's reverting back to the passive Yao and not getting involved in the offense, especially in the fourth quarter. If he doesn't improve, the Rockets will be out in the first round for the 4th consecutive year. That sucks! How could he let a lesser player like Kaman, a good player but not great, outplayed him? Does he even know what's his strength and what he is supposed to do on the floor? Why is he holding the ball and waiting for the double-team and then pass the ball to All-brick Alston?

I don't get it. Tracy SHOULD have the green light when he is feeling it. He is smart enough to involve his teammates when his shot is not falling - BUT they need to make the shot and not be afraid to let it rip. Rafer - go see a sports psychologist and then get back to the team. <em> Fool's gold, my friend, fool's gold. Letting McGrady let 'er rip when he's feeling it won't do anything for the team in the crunch of the playoffs. We saw that last year. All they have to do is TRY to strive for the ball movement the Spurs exemplify, then I think you'll see Rox fans more happy. -- John</em> So…yao has a double-double and t-mac goes off…the clips shoot a low percentage …the ROx get an easy win..AND some here are STILL ripping Adelman?

IMHO I believe with the creation of the Yi forum we have to many Yi fans here who are Yao haters and Rockets haters. In the game thread these poster are critical of everything that happens during a game. Posters were complaining that players don't pass the ball to Yao or they pass it to him in the high post or not close enough to the basket. Man thats not true, it look like many players pass the ball to Yao in low post. Then people criticize Mcgrady for shooting to much. Damn he was hitting his shots, driving to basket, making free throws, even get upset at Alston when he didn't shoot a wide open 3 pt shot. I don't get it. I like Yi, but his fans here are not Yao fans and they ruining this bbs. Its bad enough not to many post here, but now new members who post more for Yi will make any chance to bash Yao. Ok enough of that. Some members here who only post pictures i have seen post now more on clutch bbs. Thats their choice. I post pictures of game when i see that one poster has not. Then the next day I read John's blog and click to see my pictures. Not my pictures, but clutch pictures. Then i see another picture link, no problem, maybe oversight by admin, click there, more clutch pictures. WTF!!!! Always be discrimination, always be favortism. I use to it. Posters here call me retarded because sometimes my a.d.d cause me not to always spell right or use sentence correctly. I been ban from maybe 3-4 bbs because admin think i write bad on purpose. But medicine wear off at night. People are blessed with good health, not me. It not easy, but i do best i can. Now i see my thread has been moved. Again, posters here don't care about Rockets or maybe even Yao. I find out many players live near my apt. I ride my bike at least 9 miles to take pictures of players houses to share with posters. I get reply from poster who has called me a retard why i post this trash. I think maybe i make mistake. A friend called me, said he read the post, told me ymm bbs members are all leaving. Posters who are Rocket fans post now on Clutch, Yao fans a few still post here, Clutch, and other bbs. Friend told me alot of people still check the site, but are not members who post. He told me to post email address where visitors can answer in email. When i did it, i receive alot of emails. I get alot of emails with just little squares. I called my friend about it, he told me these are emails from China that have different language settings? I get alot of emails from people who say they from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seatle, NY, Toronto, Vancoover, Monterey Park, etc. The person Ruben who knew who owned one of the houses is from Monterey Park, he said it is close to LA. I don't know why this thread moved, because i will post the Yao Mings house, not the same one from the movie but a new house. My friend says it is ok because i don't include addresses or directions in the post. Now its moved, but posters only post on yao and yi forum. I hope visitors read the forum where its been moved. If not i stop posting here out of protest to discrimination and favortism. <em>It was moved to the "Non-Yao stuff" forum where it belongs, but there is a link for people to get to it from the old forum where it was originally posted.

Yao is tired. His jumpers are short or long, and defensively he was getting beat to the 1st step. Even during the shootaround before the 2nd half began, Yao took like 3 shots and went to sit down by himself. I think RA is not using him as effectively as he can. LAst night when the game was in the bag, YAo was in there and they seemed to force the ball into him to perhaps get his point stats up. He missed badly, and you could tell that he should have been observing the action from the sideline. John, when the Rockets play the clippers in Los Angeles, I can give you some good analysis. Im usually always at the clipps/rockets game. Last night i was sitting in a all Yao section of the staples center. Go Rockets! <em>That's cool you were there, and thanks for the offer to provide great analysis. Feel free to post your comments here anytime you have great observations like the one you just gave that we may not be able to pick up on over the TV airwaves. -- John</em> I was fortunate enough to be at the game last night and witnessed first hand what I have been fearing for the last 5 games.

In the 4th quarter, after Alston airballed the three and was then assessed a technical for delaying the game. The possession after that, which Rafer was left WIDE open with the ball at the top of the key. The announcers laughed and said "Come on, Rafer, we want you to shoot the ball!" Alston was all the sudden reluctant to shoot even though his man was ten feet away. Instead, he passed to a heavily guarded McGrady, who was clearly not happy and yelled at Rafer to shoot the ball.
