Tough luck for the Clippers with that call, but ill take it.! honestly i feel we are about even with the officiating after that one, since the rockets have been beaten up the last few games and we were not getting to the line as much as we deserved. so after that bad call in our favor ill say we are even.

We've been screwed over many times.
<div class="quote_poster">Eduardo Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Uhm I don't get it. JVG's strategy was never to use Howard alongside Yao because he wanted a scorer and rebounder for our front court. Thus, Yao=scorer, Hayes=rebounder. When Yao gets into foul trouble or is tired, Dike comes in as=rebounder and Juwan as=scorer. So why compare his stats while with Yao?</div> I'm not comparing their stats alongside Yao. I'm showing their production since Yao has returned. That's relevant, unless you don't expect Yao to play for us in the playoffs. I didn't make any sort of judgement on which player is performing their role better, either. Other than pointing out the obvious -- Juwan has been struggling with his shot of late, and Chuck has trended in the opposite direction. There have been periods earlier in the season when things were reversed, and I pointed it out then as well. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> I'm neutral in this case as I think BOTH Chuck and Juwan are valuable in their own ways to the Rockets. Along with Luther, I believe Juwan is the leader of the bench and doesn't deserve all the hate he's getting from some fans. I've never heard him demand or complain even when JVG was sitting his ass in the bench during the start of the season and he's done nothing but be professional and play hard for our team. So I really wish we could just drop this issue and realize that these two are our main PFs and stop bickering as to who is the main man at PF.</div> I said: "He'll have a significant role leading the second unit for us in the playoffs, so he has to get back into his rhythm. He has rebounded better the last couple games. Give him credit for that." I have nothing against Juwan. The more successful he is in his role, the better we'll be. The issue here isn't who's the "better" player or the "more talented" player, but which player is better suited to be starting on this team.

Afterall, if he plays badly, it never happened.</div> I don't get it....If you guyz so annoyed with Rock4life bringing up Howard vs Hayes, why do you make silly little comments like these. Juwan had his worst game all season. Now go and find another way to bring my name up Anywayz, I like the way Yao came in and directed the offense. He was playin really soft lately, good to see him back to normal. I'm still not impressed with this win. We depend ENTIRELY too much on Tmac to win ball games down the stretch. The better teams are gonna expose that. We're gonna need another creator out there to balance to offense.

Sorry about that, I just thought that another Juwan vs Chuck thing would start with you posting their stats alongside Yao.
