You are right about Yao.Though, it’s really ridiculous how patriotic the Chinese are.Watch this years Olympics and you’ll surely see.For the Chinese there’s no greater honor than serving their Country.The first thing Yao said when he broke his leg was I hope I can get ready for the Olympics or I hope I will be able to be play…something like that.

Chuck Mo Cheeks can coach his ass off.U dont know what you’re talking about with that one.And Yao aint got no choice.He aint from America and them China dicks run everything down to how many kids you can have.So basically if he aint ready for the olympics they gonna have him in some tall man dungeon in china next year eating gruel out of a dog bowl.

@Chuck

Ok first off im making no excuses for Woodson i seen a lot of Hawks games this year and yeh i basically agree with you on that one..
As for Cheeks, OK he might not be the greatest coach in terms ofs Xs and Os but the thing that i like is that he clearly has their respect, they have been prepared well, and he has them beleiving.

Going into crunch time who would you have more faith with, the guy whose players look like they beleive in what he tells them and play their role correctly because of it, or the guy who tries to overload his team with plays and sets?

@iain
I don’t know about that one?
It doesn’t take much of a coach to go out there and tell them to run.
Mike woodson and Mo cheeks just seem like 2nd rate coaches to me, they don’t even know how to get these teams to run effecient half court offensive. Both teams are useless unless there running and dunking on people.
The 76s success is because of Andre Miller being and actual point gaurd and distributing the ball. And the Dalembeast playing some legitimate d, and being a good defensive post presence.
And have you watched any of the Hawks-Celtics game. I swear if I see them just standing around on offense another game, I’m going to puke!
They can only win, when they hit buckets, and yes both teams have heart, but they have no strategy, ballmovement, and the hawks play alright D, but that’s because they are so athletic.
Flip Saunders did choke last year against Cleveland I’ll give you that. But his flaw is an over emphasis on offense and no emphasis on defense, and that’s transparent from the million and 1 plays they run.

For the “It won’t happeners”

Just on a side note,
-A few people started out the year saying Houston won’t make the playoffs.
-More people started saying Houston won’t make the playoffs upon them losing Yao.
-A lot of people started saying it won’t happen in regards to them making the 22 games to become the second team in the L with the longest winning streak ever.
-Then some people still predicted Houston wouldn’t make the playoffs once the streak was over claiming Houston had will be the odd team out.
-Then a lot of people predicted T-Mac and Houston would be swept.
-Then some people (Even Carlos Boozer) predicted (after Houston won 1) that the series would not go back to Houston.
-Then few said Houston will lose at home.

-So now it’s Houston is still going to lose and it won’t happen in them getting to the 2nd round.

My drift is simply 1. People are going to keep guessing at Houston’s demise, till it actually happens so I guess they can be the one to say “I told you” …big whoop.
2. Houston has been defying most people all year long, so whether they keep defying or not. It’s been a year of having excellent things happen from bad things and defying the odds more times than not.

Will the odds catch up at some point? Probably. Till that point ……..It’s still a ride I am enjoying.

“The Hawks won two games and so did the 76rs but bottom line they still don’t have the talent, experience or coaching staff that Detroit and the Celtics have..”

Chuck, i’d rather have Mo Cheeks coaching my team than Flip Saunders, or Doc Rivers for that matter if your talking assistants too then ok my knowledge aint that deep but damn Cheeks has done a lot with a little in Philly while Saunders has tried his hardest to F-it all up in Motown.

So going back to your statement i think yur right they dont have the talent or the experience but its because they do have the coaching (and heart) that they got 2 games off the Pistons so far.

T-Mac aka “the tinman”…will he show up and have enough heart to pull this out?? TBD.
The Lakers will make quick work of either of these teams. But i’d like to see T-mac get out of Round 1. That will give Carmello Anthony aka T-Mac 2.0 some hope!
