The Rockets were unhappy with how the Blazers were allowed to manhandle Yao Ming in Game 2.
“They were very physical,” coach Rick Adelman said. “They put their hands on him. They wrestled with him from the top of the key all the way down. It’s up to us to have more patience, to move the ball more. It’s up to him to understand what they’re doing and counter it. … If the officials are going to allow them to manhandle him like they did, we’ve got to find an answer for that.”

Yao Ming recently expressed that he would prefer to remain with the Houston Rockets for the rest of his career. Although, he did not completely rule out the possibility of signing with another team when he becomes a free agent in 2010.

Last night, Yao Ming responded to an article from NBA.com claiming that he and McGrady are not speaking with each other and that he wants McGrady Out. “I’m upset,” he said, “(that) this news is fake.”
NBA Rumors was created by three college grads who played Division III NCAA basketball for Berkeley College. Back then, basketball was our life. A day did not go by without us talking about what was going on in the NBA.
Today, we are all working in our respective industries in Midtown Manhattan. And two years after we graduated, basketball started to fall out of our radar as we started spending more time in the office and less time on the court. Therefore, we created this blog to reunite our passion for the love of NBA and basketball across the world.
We hope that you will enjoy our blog. We are intensively working on our coffee breaks to bring you the best rumors that the NBA has to offer.
