Before Yao was benched, their inside players (Stoudemire, White and Voskuhl combined for 1-9. Since then, they shot 100%, control the board. Come on Cato.
Good grief, Amare just stuffed Steve on a fast break, and then turns around and nearly stuffs another....but a foul is called.
We're playing good D on everyone else... it's not like Marbury is going to be Michael Jordan the whole game... we'll win in the end.
Key to the first half: very simple. Yao has been nothing short of weak. What happened to the "muscle" he put on in the offseason? Stoudemire and others have put the ball straight down Yao's throat because he can't jump well enough to get high over the rim and doesn't have the upper body strength to force the ball in. Instead, he's trying all these ugly layups that get sent back hard enough to leave "Spalding" backwards on Yao's forehead. That and Cat is cooooold.
