Houston Roundball Review Archive: November 2007 Yao Ming: "playing their speed"

Saturday, November 17, 2007

HOUSTON, TX (Toyota Center) -- Yao Ming struggled Saturday night versus the Phoenix Suns.

He made only 4 of his 17 shots and finished with just 12 points and six boards in the Rockets 115 to 105 loss to the Suns.

After the game, Yao told the media the Rockets were "...playing their speed..."

Yao's comments are very serious but also comical because he describes the Suns as playing "140 percent on offense and 50 percent on defense".
