    I hope they front Yao all night long.

    We need to find the cure to Yao's kryptonite before the playoffs.

    Yep, I hope they are the master of fronting.

    We need the test, get Yao the ball.

    I loved what Ron just said. He said we had to give Yao the Ball, then Worrell was like 'Some of that is Yao's fault for not getting open...' Ron cuts him off and is like 'Not his fault, we gotta get him the ball.'

    the fronting defenses have been around for years. what we have to do is go to other options instead of trying to give him the ball.

    we need to win this. this team really struggles on the road and we need home court.

    we don't have the resiliency like in years' past to win on the road for some freakin' reason.

    that's why the outsiders know what the problem is. our players still think the same way -> problems persist.

    you gotta get open to get the ball. that's basketball 101.

    Suns won, Hornets leading ... if we don't win this, we're giving up another game in the playoff race.

    Don Cheaney says 'no question about it' about as much as Von wafer says 'most definitely'

    I'm confident that New Jersey will beat New Orleans.

    Yao can't do anything to get open.

    People want him to push guys outta the way. AND YOU KNOW they will call fouls on him for that.

    Fact is, you can never hold post position long enough. It's on the coaches and others to get him the ball. Yao wanted the ball last night, I saw him moving around the post from left to right but the team was too stagnant to get him open.

    Everyone has to be moving.

    Cool I just saw landry in a warmup, hope he plays tonight.

    It don't matter who else wins tonight as long as we win we'll keep our spot.

    I think we should go for the we also get help from the Blazers or Spurs as they play eachother tonight.

    Here's a Chinese stream:

    http://www.ppnba.com/en/11.html

    It's crappy quality, but will work until Magnetik shows up to deliver us all to the promised land.

    swing the ball around immediately to the other side and attack. yao should use that fronting defender and seal him off so the rotating defense is slower. it's very simple. instead, we look for yao and waste an eternity.

    Dude, first of all yes he posts a question to a new password each time and secondly don't be posting the dam answers to previous questions in case he recycles the password. The whole point is to keep the stream to not have so many people.
