    Did anyone else catch posey on the bench wearing his warm ups on backwards thinking he is part of Kris Kross?

    Yao has his own way of playing defense....which is anticipating and block...not taking charges.

    You don't realize how much intimidation is a large part of the game. Everyone intimidates or is intimidated.

    Michael Jordan intimidated everyone he played against.

    Dikembe intimidates.

    Yao intimidates noone. Yao is intimidated.

    I don't understand why every damn team the Rockets (excluding the Spurs) play against seem to have a great jumpshot.

    To bad Yao got in foul trouble. He's showing signs of getting his jumper back. Hopefully he will get more shots in the 2nd half.

    I actually think they're doing a pretty good job. They've called both fouls where the Grizzlies big man tries to hold Yao's arm in order to prevent him from catching it.

    Also, T-Mac's "charge" against Cardinal was called a blocking foul.

    Andre Barrett trying to run this offense by himself is painful to watch.

    Man...this Swift guy needs to get flagranted fouled by Yao. The block was nice though.

    yeah, it's not so much that he's trying to dribble a lot but every time he does anything it gets shut down or he screws it up and then he has to keep dribbling and try something else. of course, the last time he got caught dribbling forever he just said screw it, drove in, and found barry for a 3.

    Agreed... its a combo of hesitant decision making and good defense... but its still painful.

    Hey... its a Mo-T sighting (and he didn't try to dunk it).

    It looks like the experiment of having Wesley and Barry in the backcourt at the same time is not working very well.

    Grizzlies are making their jumpers. The Rockets need to weather the storm and stay close.
