chrishcovga Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Why does ESPN , keep blowing these two out of proportion..??Yao may have beaten twice, but once was without Kobe and Malone, the other just without Malone,and Kobe had the cut finger..??I watched the game last night, and the Rockets have no ability to close out anybody...They had the Lakers on the ropes 8 points down, with 6 minutes to play...ShaQ in foul trouble with 5 fouls...and the Lakers still came back and beat them...Yao may have scored more than Shaq, but Shaq had more Blocks and kept people out of the lane, the same we he has for the last 7 years...And ... The rockets perimeter defense is so torrid... that guys like rookie Luke Walton and mr. clutch himself, Gary Payton were just killing 3 pointers at will...The lakers may have taken a year off... but that championship is all but theres' once Malone comes Back...and Yao won't dominate Shaq, till Shaq retires...
