    New Orleans took the lead for good on Dickau's running layin, putting the Hornets ahead 65-64 and drawing loud boos from the sellout crowd of 18,148. Once the Hornets were ahead, Andersen and Brown seemed to come down with every missed shot or free throw, preventing Houston from mounting a comeback.

    ``That was only because Yao wasn't out there,'' Andersen quipped.

    Without Yao the team had an 18 point lead on these scrubs. They should've won. They collapsed. :mad:

    Even if Yao was playing, with the team having a 18 point lead, he would probably have not been needed in our offense ;), as history told us.

    I'm reminded of a song....

    "Without You" by the Dixxie Chicks.......

    Change the wording to:

    "Without Yao, we're not ok..........
    Without Yao, we've lost our way.........
    Our hearts stuck in 6th seed space........
    oohhhooohhhhhh.........
    Without Yao.........."

    :D

    Get on it CHANCE! :D

    this quote is about rebounding, not just losing the game.

    (sung to the tune of "With or Without You" by U2)

    Sunday night we play the Suns
    We're number six. They're number one.
    Will we play.... with Yao?

    Friday's game was such a bore
    The Hornets sucked, but we sucked more
    And we played... without Yao

    With or without Yao
    With or without Yao .. ooohh
    We should win
    With or without Yao

    May i remind everyone calling the Hornets scrubs and such names that these dudes are actually profesional basketball players and should not be taken lightly like the Rockets did. And they won by 3, how many points did Boki score? Thats right! it's the curse of the Boki, just like the curse of the Bambino but totally different.

    no team in the NBA should be taken lightly.... not even the Hawks....

    without Yao, it just shows one thing.... Deke is good as a backup, he can't handle starter minute anymore... we need another younger backup center next season.....
