    Well, in the last Laker game, Mobley guarded him and did a SUPERB job, especially down the stretch.

    14-6 against us and we're ice cold. Guess what: We have the better percentage plays. We're going to win.

    I really can't help it...
    But.. can't you all see Kobe is waaaaaayyyy better than FRancis?
    And there is no disrespect to Francis.

    Yao is struggling now, let's see do the other players stay with going inside to him..

    can somebody give yao a simple "shaq screen" down low so he doesn't have to work so hard for his position?

    If the shots aren't going down than the defense needs to be tightened up along with ball movement so they can get higher percentage shots in the basket.Iso's should only be utilized if there is a clear mismatch. Try to take the ball to the hole first then the shots will become easier.

    I like how we are going into Yao but it won't work all game. We need to find more then 1 way to score.

    Does any notice that they are actually running the plays through Yao !! He already has 7-touches and a couple of assists..What up with that, has Rudy finally decided to change his system...And I never said Francis was better than Kobe, Kobe is the best guard in the NBA, I just hate him because he ballhoggs and shows off, GO ROCKETS :)

    We won't win if all we do is run plays for Yao. It won't work for the whole game. Steve needs to have some plays run for him.

    You guys have gotten to see what happens when Yao is the go-to-go instead of Steve. We have just 16 points with 27 seconds left in the first quarter.

    Rudy is an idiot. Why would Posey not guard Kobe for one thing. Once again, this team plays with no descipline what so ever. FIRE RUDY T!!!!
