<div class="quote_poster">Franchise4Ever Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">He dropped 26 points on us....</div> Did you watch the game? You will see what I mean. The Lakers totally took Yao out of the game when it counted most. The 2nd half. He started out hot, but the Lakers found a way to contain him and built that big lead. It was Houstons bench that actually closed the gap, not Yao and the Houston starters.
<div class="quote_poster">Franchise4Ever Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">He dropped 26 points on us....</div> He also had 6 turnovers and just 5 rebounds. Bynum played him well and then we frustrated him with the double teams and the forced turnovers. I nearly had a heart attack at the end of the game. I'm glad that they made a comeback because it now mean's we won't be complacent in the future. It's a good lesson to learn early in the season.
Yao had 26 points, but only 5 in the second half. However, he was on the bench for a majority of the second half. Last night's game was far too, exciting than what it should have been. Credit to the Rocket bench for not giving up and shooting the Rockets back into the game. Our team got into the mentality that the game was over eventhough there was plenty of time left on the clock. Lucky Kobe bailed us out once again last night. Losing Odom is a huge blow for our team, and we need Radman to step in his absence. Radman was terrible defensively last night, and got abused in the post by Juwan Howard. Offensively his game is coming around, and his 3point shot is finally dropping. If he can give us double digits off the bench every game, we will be in good shape.
