Yao Ming Mania: Without Yao, Rockets still beat Pistons

  • john · 11 months ago
    The Rockets needed them badly. All of them. T-Mac, Ron and Scola. It is never easy going to place like Auburn Hills, getting a win there.

    I think Scola’s contribution was more crucial as in his case, he was stepping in for Yao. He did that last season when Yao’s was out. The Rockets went on a 20 games unbeaten run.

    Will there be able to emulate such feat again? Tomorrow against the Knicks much of that will be answered.

    What do you think the issue with Brooks is? I wasn't surprised to see him playing questionable defense so much as seeing his offensive collapse lately. He just got something in his head?

    I wish I knew. He was a big-time scorer in college, like Von Wafer.
    Definitely part of it is psychological. --John

    That was a pretty good game - but without Yao, it just did not feel the same. But a win is a win and I applauded the effort of Ron Artest, Scola, Battier, and perhaps Wafer. I guess AB has hit a rookie-wall, as they say. Hopefully, he will come out of it soon.
