<div class="quote_poster">Locke Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">No one said Howard was going to average 2 points a game. Jeez, he had a good year stats-wise last year. Everyone just predicted that Hayes would do better, and that has been right so far as well</div> I'd disagree with that. Hayes started off well, but his lack of offense and silly fouling has hurt him and the team. Just like i stated in previous threads, teams are leaving him and hounding Yao which has hurt us tremendously. One example is the Minnesota game in which KG killed us on the weakside. Ppl stated that he's a good finisher under the basket. Well lately he's either been getting blocked or missing easy lay ups. His rebounding is still good but not enuff to keep him on the court in the 4th quarter. However......Howard has been big in the 4th quarter in which teams have doubled off Yao and he's finished nicely. He's finishin, scoring, rebounding & defending. All of which you guys said Hayes does better. The season is not over tho, but atleast we know Howard doesn't sux, right/ <div class="quote_poster">Locke Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Now, if you were to say you expected Hayes to do what he's doing on the other hand...</div> I expected him to be a liability on offense. Even tho he's rebounding good, he's still a liabilty. But i did slightly underestimate his rebounding.
Good win by the Rockets. <div class="quote_poster">Rock4life Wrote</div><div class="quote_post"> Na, Yao said "You can't f*ckin stop me".......... I thought i was the only one who saw that lol. Happy to see Bonzi FINALLY gettin the respect he deserves, jus hope he doesn't disappear when Tmac comes back. Alston played good, but his turnovers in the last previous games were unacceptable. For our point guard to be bouncin the ball of his foot in the 4th quarter warrants possible trades. Howard has played as I expect him too and alot better than any one of you thought he'd be. He should be starting but i'll leave that one alone. </div> He's playing really good off the bench. I wouldn't change anything, he ends up getting a lot of minutes because Hayes gets in foul trouble.
Yao is getting arrogant. The Final step in becoming a SUPERSTAR. Watch Out NBA Bonzi finally got a dunk and scored at some key moments. Skip's play will tell the story of the team. If he is doing well the game is easier for everybody.
lol they're talking about Yao's arrogance on 610 (a guy at my work just told me)......I'm gonna try to find it on youtube.
