Do think the rockets could have beaten the utah jazz if yao ming wasn't injurd???

Question

rockets almost beaten the celtcs when tmac was out..

Answer 1

yes they could have and I have lived in Houston my whole life and I'm f@#king tired of losing to the JAZZ in the playoffs since The Dream retired

Answer 2

With Yao They were goin all da way

and just imagine Steve Franchise wasnt injured

T-Mac Yao and Steve comparable to da celtics Big 3

Answer 3

No way, the Jazz has a solid team while the Rockets are i question. If Yao was in the line up, they Rockets would have to slow down there pace and ostly likely they'll play the paint most of the time. The Rockets couldn't spread the defense b/c Yao can't guard outside the paint. When Yao was out, the Rockets could have stretched the floor with Scola in the line up. The Jazz has a pretty good all round team, they can score inside and the have range. I think it wouldn't have matter so much to the Jazz if Yao was playing or not b/c they don't really have a good center. The main men are Boozer, William and Mr. AK. All Rockets fan need to realize that the Rockets aint going nowhere, even if they make it to the playoffs they can't make it past the first round.

Answer 5

No, Yao is good but he prevents scola and landry from working the post. he also stalls the fast break. I think the rockets can win once they get a team that can move with the other teams they will easily win, but also health is an issue.

Answer 6

Ya they would kick @$$

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

yea, cuz there is now one on utah that could stop him, boozer is to short, and Okur is defensivly invisible (and he wouldn't had so many rebs).  they woulda doubled Yao givin Shane, Head, Alston, & Brooks more open looks, cuz they still woulda had to gaurd T-Mac.  But they woulda lost to the Lakers 2nd round w/out a doubt.

Answer 9

yea, he wouldd have provide defense and offensive with his points, rebounds, and Block shots. plus they had Lius scola and Rafer alston. next year, they will

Answer 10

No Mutombo was doing a pretty good job so no it wasnt the rockets fault they lost it was the Jazz That Beat em

Answer 11

Yes. Okur and Boozer would have a lot of trouble to stop him, what would open up space for T-Mac. Also, the Rockets had to use a small lineup a lot of time during that series, what made easy for Utah's big men.
