That guy’s reputation far exceeds the play he’s shown thus far. Offensively, he kills us. Defensively, he is just as likely to get a foul as a stop.

I like his potential, but if he was the answer right now, he would already be playing.

by Heathos33 on Apr 21, 2009 8:19 PM PDT reply actions  

Not really. Blazers are in control. The Rockets can’t close out close games and home games this season have been a +7 advantage to the home team.

Rockets cannot win this game and I wouldn’t surprised if the Blazers won by around 15 points tonight.

Yao doesn’t get going in the second half of games when he is shut down. That just means their shooters will start to miss a whole lot more.

1-1, next game.

Agree

He played a pretty prominent role in the paint, especially on the defensive end. I’d say the Twin Tower test had more mixed results than expected but overall a positive experience.

should they go frye

We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world - no government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.

Gotta stop with the early fouls.

Another reason why their bench is scoring so much on us. We have been put into the penalty early and that’s what’s been hurting us.
 We’re shooting a higher percentage with more possessions but we have been to the line 10 times less. That’s what’s keeping them in the game.

Should Bayless Get PT?

Our defense has been atrocious, but are our guards to blame, or is Outlaw alone more to blame? Tough call. And would Bayless NOT make dumb passes in transition? An even tougher call. I don’t know. I’d vote no on Bayless getting PT.
