nice pass from Head, at least that;s a bright side of yet another lose, are we gonna make the playoff...

cuz Deke and Juwan Howard simply sucked recently, JVG didn't dare to risk getting Yao out. Anyway,I thought Yao's stamina and conditioning had improved from the summer?

Actually, he is averaging about 1 good game for every 3/4 poor games. You can send me a PM everytime he does well if you would like. I think he can be a very useful player when he plays within himself and takes smart shots, it's just that he hasn't shown he can do that consistently yet.

I've gotta say that Luther head's gonna make a difference for your team this year. He makes other teams that passed on him look stupid. Good game by both teams. Hope the Rox climb out of the hole that they are in right now because they're a lot better than their record suggests.

Head had 28 points and Yao Ming 20 for the Rockets (3-8), who came in averaging an NBA-low 84 points a game. Anderson added 19 points, his 3-pointer providing the 50-38 lead before Terry's surge.

"I don't feel good because you compete hard and you still get a loss. Who likes that?" said Head, the first-round pick from Illinois who already had a season-high 16 points by halftime. "I made some shots, but it's not about one person. A lot of guys have got to step up."

Man.. Classic Luther that makes me miss watching him in college.. He's gonna be a success in the NBA though, I'm almost certain.

Luther Head has a stunning game and I miss the whole thing. How was he getting most of his buckets? What a nice rookie class...

What was wrong with Yao this time? Unluckily missing easy shots again, or just plain bad? Did he at least play defense? Such a good player, but so frustrating. He seems -- to me, at least -- to be always on the verge of greatness. You feel that because he put up great numbers for the amount of minutes he plays, and because his missed shots often seem to be so close to going in, and because he gets called for so many pointless fouls, that if he just wised up a little and if luck went his way he'd become what we'd all hoped he'd become.

We got Head, We got Head, We got Head....

Man, 28 points from a rook, against the Mavs. Wooow.... We found a replacement for McGrady.

Go Luther Head!!!

But still, frustrated cuz we lost....

Yao is too tired to touch the ball in the 4th quarter.
Mutombo should share more time.

CrackerJack · 11-23-2005, 05:26 AM

starting ryan bowen is just useless, we keep saying we have no other SF's but bowen is playing 17 minutes whats happening to the other 31? surely that person would be a better way to get a start off for the game

His defense was great during the first half. Then he picked up his 4th foul less than 30 seconds after the 3rd quarter started and the Mavericks could penetrate at will. Yao is probably one of the greatest first half players in the game. Yao hit some really tough shots in the 2nd half, but struggled when it mattered. Every time he touched the ball down the stretch with good positioning, he would miss an easy jump hook even though he appeared to be fouled on a couple of occassions. The Mavericks were certainly hounding him though, causing him to rush his shot. I don't think it will be a problem with TMac back, and Yao gets selective touches with some space to work with.

Head has a variety of offensive maneuvers. Great shooter and finisher. He was getting to the basket and using his body to shield off post defenders. Head created most of his shots, shooting off the dribble or finding a way to the basket. Had some nice assists to Deke as well.

It kind of shows you the advantage of playing with a great guard who can penetrate.
