The Houston Rockets are experiencing what many called "black November". Back to back games, Tracy's back injury, deplorable outside shooting, Yao Ming getting little support--- all these contributed to and sort of explained the Rockets' current situation- You might scratch your head like Jeff V. Gundy but you must be thinking: What? They are worse than New Orlean Hornets? Yeah, bottom in the southwest division.

  The Rockets are lost....

Some impatient fans, oh, don't forget our passionate Chinese fans have already begun to voice their negative views or suggestions. Use Yao Ming as a tradebait or fire Gundy and find a coach who knows how to run the offense. Some Chinese fans went as far as saying Yao Ming is a disgrace to the country and he is a Mr. Softy (ESPN today suggested that Yao should be tougher when it comes to handling the ball and executing offenses on court). They, too, like the Rockets players counted on Mcgrady as the only hope spiritwise.

You know what I think? Come on, it is just a game. Don't give me the nationalism thing and I enjoy watching a big guy like Yao Ming play no matter how many points he can make. Every player goes through ups and downs in their career. Talking about Mcgrady, I think he slided back to where he was when he was with the Orlando Magic. He tries to carry the whole team singlehandedly to a victory (90% of the time he can't) and we have never seen much of one-two punch (or Shaq and Kobe tandem) between him and Yao. At times it seems no one knows how to pass the ball. And look at the statistics sheet you will know why they lose night after night. Assists? hardly ever.

Go the Rockets, go Yao Ming!
