yao is actually good at free throws Stories - The Dream Shake
Phil Jackson is funny
While last night's game was heartbreaking, it also shows just how close we are to a championship. Even closer once we rid ourselves of Rafer. 16 missed free throws (6 by Yao?!?), shoot 35% (which is a good day for Rafer, but not for everyone else) and we "held" Kobe to only 30. He usually goes for...
Let's give it a shot! Rockets running game blog!
Tried this last night, but we had a delayed tip off. The Rockets are streaking and it's time to do a live blog of the Rockets versus Warriors. It's a horrible match up for the Rockets after a night of running in Phoenix and Stevie is sore apparently. Let's go:Warriors up 2-0 on an easy basket and...
I can't tell if this is big or not
The Rockets "won" last night, but it's one of those times that a win is really just the other teams loss. At one point in time we were 1-15 from the line, including two Yao misses. That's sad, and hurts my co-writer Dave badly. How can proffesional players not shoot free throws? No one is guarding...
Free Throws - they are not the enemy
Hey, Houston Rockets...I hope you were all watching last night's Memphis/Kansas game. Why? So that you will learn how freakin' important free throws are! No matter how talented or athletically superior you are to your opponent - if you can't make free throws, you will not win important...
50% of Yao ... still better than everyone else
I have returned!The Great Wall has returned, too. Sort of.Yao Ming scored 21 points in a warm-up game yesterday. And he did it in only 28 minutes. And he also did it on only 10 shots (are you taking notes, Mr. Donte Greene? You don't have to take 30 shots to get 20 points!!). And he made his free...
Rockets versus Magic, it's FANNNNTASTIC
Tonight at 6 Post Meridiem Central Standard Time… wait, now I get why we just say 6 PM CST, that’s a lot easier. Anyway, at 6 PM CST tonight the Houston Rockets will take on the Orlando Magic. This could be a big game. It is a chance to go 3-1 with Tracy out and a win against a good team; which we...
Stop mis-interpreting Yao!!
Yao said the Rockets are soft. I'm quite sure his use of the term "soft" was not directed to the team's shooting technique. Especially on free throws. Having a "soft touch" is a good thing when referring to the art of shooting a basketball.The Rockets, however, did everything they could to prove to...
People That Piss Me Off (Week the Second)
Yes, I know it's more than a full week after my first PTPMO entry... there were holidays in the way. And it was hard for me, alright? So back off!! Anyway - without any interruption, the five people/teams/entities that piss me off this week (not necessarily NBA-related, but...)1. The NFL (and the...
