    Yeah that was painful to watch too. Posting up and bangin isn't Yao's game. I've come to accept that. It can be, but not on every play. The team can't give up on him after he misses a couple of shots though either. Most of the time his shot selection is good though, so it's harder to get mad at him. Yao did frustrate me with another one of his tips for a rebound when he could of just as easily grabbed the damn board.

    Steve's playing a good game. Cuttino is also playing well. I think they should dominate the offense in the 2nd half. Keep Yao fresh at the end of the game, so that he can be available for a final shot if necessary.

    Fratello and Van Gundy were like Abbot and Costello with everyone thinking Van Gundy was Abbot and Fratello being the bumbling Costello. Fratello got shown up by Van Gundy a lot during those final TNT telecasts.

    I like Fratello. For some of the games I've seen this year, we should have just hired him.

    Anyways, how 'bout Cuttino throwing up a three on a one on four. Guess which team had the one.

    i agree, there is not a lot of love for the rockets. they keep saying that the knicks need to pressure and play uptempo. sorry, van horn, allan houston, mutombo, and kurt thomas are not guys you can run with.

    yeah, that was bad. Franchise makes the block and Cuttino gives the ball right back.

    Knicks are just a bunch of jumpshooters with Yao in the paint. Van Gundy needs to keep Yao fresh. No more low post.
