<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TmacGarnett:</div><div class="quote_post">We win with STRO doing good, bur R. Brunson sucks and no one on our team can shoot a free throw apparently.</div> Yeah how dare a guy who just joined the team 4 days ago play badly? He should know the system! Arg!
I meant free throw wise...but ya I guess i didn't like his overall play either. I don't know why,but he didnt click with me.

He ran full speed into a wall, and has yet to recover from his concussion. I hope he works hard this off-season and comes back on fire. We could use a GOOD Luther Head next season. I think we need a new coach. It really pisses me off that only Yao or T-Mac can have a great game. They never play well together...I can only imagine how much this team would thrive if T-Mac and Yao bring in 50-60 points a game with 7-9 assists, and 22 rebounds.

I thought he played pretty well in the second half, other than the free throws. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting igotask8board:</div><div class="quote_post"> And I think I can speak for everyone when I say...I miss Luther Head.

He's never been a steady free throw shooter, which suggests that he's not a pure shooter. He's streaky and he plays with confidence, which you have to like, but he's a poor decision maker for a point guard and his jumper is too shaky to be a really productive 2-guard. He needs to make a lot of improvements in the offseason. Then again, our guard play in general are so mediocre that he'll probably still have a spot in the rotation regardless.

Even if it was a fluke, he is at least capable of playing that good with more time and training. I don't think a player can just be great for a while and then just suck for the rest of his career. Well Rookie wise at least. He has a lot of potential, and within 2-3 years I see him as our starting PG/SG. He just lost his edge this season I guess. I have a feeling he will break out next season. Average 12ppg, 3.5 apg, 2rpg, .8spg and shoot a solid 40% from behind the arc...given 22mpg I don't know why Luther isn't the thief he was in college. I know it's harder in the NBA, but he should be getting more than he is now.
Nice game by the Rockets except in the last minute of the 4th quarter. If they didn't built a comfortable lead they could have lost the game due to a lot of missed FTs. Yao has been dominant again. It seems that he's been reacting quickly before the double team gets him. I noticed that he takes care of the ball well and has been alert from those pesky guards who likes to swipe and steal the ball from his hands every single game. Tom Thibodeaux has done a great job in improving Yao's game. The win provides a good momentum for tomorrow's game against the Pacers. I hope TMac will be well rested to play as the game will be a grinding one featuring two teams known for their defense.
Ah, how some of you are silenced into lurking. I, however, with my pure optimism, am brought out.. What a game by YAO. 30, 13, 4! If he does this next year, no one will be close for MVP.. Easily Most Improved Player -- and without Tracy too. Had they been doubling McGrady as well, Yao would've gone off for 45. I hope he dominates the Pacers, and I REALLY hope the teams we want to lose, do in fact lose. 3.5 games out guys . . let's get the party started. And if we do make the playoffs, you do realize that I officialy own all of you. Y'all can be my little Oompa Loompas, and Locke and AXB get their hair died purple to stand out from the rest. 13-4 with Yao back. 8 straight 20 point games. Back-to-Back 30 point games. If he does it tommorow. . he is truely the best center in the league. And he's not doing this close to the end of the season .. it's heated out there -- we're all vying for a spot in the playoffs; and Yao just DOMINATES. More power to ya' Yao, let's keep this bus rollin'.
It's time for all those Yao haters to finally shut up. No more "Yao overrated discussion" ever again.
Yall have to give Head a break after all he's only a rookie and rookies make mistakes so don't be too critical of him. As for the game well once again the Rockets go back into their old problem of starting slow then playing game of catchup. This team has to learn to win games without Mcgrady especially the low tier teams like the Timberwolves.
