When I initially read your prediction on the night before the game, I thought it was a little premature and that the Rockets would come out against Golden State and prove you wrong.

I don't know how you do it in addition with your full-time job. I am very impressed with your writings and analysis. You write so well that I am really surprise that this is not your full-time job. I don't ive in Houston. Thus, I don't get many chances to watch Yao Ming plays. Your coverage on this site allows me to closely follow on Yao's career. After each Rockets game, I always immediately log onto this site to view your analysis. I know that it takes a lot of dedication and sacrifices to run this site. So, thank you again!!! Sincerely, D <em>Thanks, D. You are all making my day, and impressing my wife, who didn't know I was appreciated so much! -- John</em> Hi John,

Good defense from the Golden State warriors. They can beat this team. They shut down Yao and tracy offensively. There must be a way to get them the ball when guys are fronting and double teaming. Tracy doesn't look like he's in a bad mood and doesn't feel like playing. He looks tired. Yao's shot wasn't falling. His reflex is very slow....I don't know if there's a way to work on his reflexes. This team should be happpy to get into the playoffs the way they are playing. BTW why can't they bring someone taller and faster to guard harrington and davis. Rafer is too small to guard davis....just like when he was guarding deron williams. It's just wrong. Why not use landry to guard harrington.......he's young and athletic. I don't know.....sikma needs to do something. Adjustment….coaches should work harder to help the team. Good defense from the Golden State warriors. They can beat this team.

The rockets and Yao need to figure out how to handle being fronted. I don't know why every team in the league doesn't defend Yao this way. He always had bad games against teams that front him and the rockets just keep trying to force it in to him. The opposing teams have to slide someone over to cover the backside which should always leave someone open. The ball needs to move around to the open man (not through Yao). The warriors basically decided to take Yao out of the game and take their chances with Tracy and the rest of them. In theory, Tracy should dominate when teams do this... ps- the whole team needs to spend some time working on free throws (except yao of course). 17 for 30 at the charity stripe really sucks, I could do that...that's almost like having Shaq shoot all of your free throws... Ouch… just finished watching the game…

This team will not and could not pass the first round if without significant improvement. It's not just a match up problem, it is the Rocket's own problem. I noticed Yao is so inconsistent this year vs last year. ( I know it's a new system) He is completely lost in game like today. McGrady seems even more inconsistent. I am thoroughly discouraged by what I saw today. I was there at Oracle Arena. I am not sure whether Adelman is the right choice. He is very slow at adapting and not knowing the player well. He may lost his touch as he aged. This is the worst game for Rocket starters, especially for Yao & McGrady. This team will not and could not pass the first round if without significant improvement.
