    If Yao can ever learn to make those momentum plays that last shot would have been a small dagger on them, he would be a much better impact player . . . but instead a weak layup when he was trying to dunk everything before.

    It's a good lineup against the Celtics.

    That was an awesome second quarter. Brooks, Artest, Landry and Hayes led the way. Outstanding!

    I kinda like this lineup too. I like scola, but he gets lit up everytime and is a black hole. He would really be better off the bench.

    Know it's not that big of a deal, but that was an odd play to end the half. There was four seconds on the clock, but Barry lofted it from halfcourt with 2.9 seconds remaining.

    It would've been nice to see Brooks hit one of the 5 feett beyond the arc three pointers to end the half.

    Gotta like that, uh? They were shooting 37% in the 2nd quater and we were around 70. It is a big improvment.

    I really hope we can keep it up. Hayes, phenomenal D on KG.

    KG is just way weaker than Hayes. Good call putting Hayes in there

    I told u guys, the Rockets live and die by the guards. If both guards shoots a descent %, the Rockets have better chances of winning.

    KG's arm length is like 230cm....it's harder than you imagine to dunk over that length, especially with yao's arms...(220cm...surprisingly short arms for a man that size)

    Finally defense is respectable. Love Hayes, his defense and rebound is underused.

    our D sucks still. but yao is playing MUCH better today than yesterday. and brooks is 200% better. you play better, you have a better chance of wining. it's that simple.
