Are you sure Amare is out for the season? If that a win is in the pocket already, we have good macth up with Suns without Amare.
i hope yao goes 1 on 1 against shaq too but i doubt rick would allow that. i'm not too worried about shaq tho cause after nash got back, shaq gets a lot less touches.
Amare is out 8-12 weeks which means he has a small chance to get back for playoffs but he is out until then - there's no way he will play this game
Yao flops vs Shark, draw 6 fouls in 3 minutes to get Shark out of the game. And Lawry attacks the rim again and again until Nash is fouled out in the next 3 minutes. The sun coach goes nuts and rejected, and rockets wins 100 - 20.
With Portland losing, Utah winning 2morrow should put us back in 3rd place. So lets get them Suns and lets go Rox!
is Nash playing? Barnes is going to get an earful from me. When that little melee happened in Phoenix, I checked the schedule to see when they were playing again. I think it loses a bit of the luster because the other guy that was involved plays in Disney Land.
yao will play well, he doesn't play bad against big players who can match his strength, but weaklings like Okur and Pryzbilla have to flop to stop the great wall, must win game from now on, home Ct advantage is critical in playoffs.
A win gives us a 5.5 game lead over 9th place Phoenix with 20 games to go. A loss and that lead is down to 3.5 games. Important game.
Good God, the grammar on this board is getting worse and worse...I don't even know what half of these posters are saying...
Shaq after Magic game:Flopping one time in 17 years ain't bad Yao after Jazz game:I guess I don't need to worry about [a] flopper next game. I don't think Shaq's that type of player
shaq's just gona dominate yao i hate to say this but since we all know how much our gentle giant admires shaq, so you gona hear yao's postgame comments: "i feel very honor.. its shaq's birsday, i mean, what can i do? his offense is too strong.. what can i do? but u know, not many guys gets a chance to play him on his birsday.. and i'm glad we will only see him one more time this year... "
Shaq is a big slow Center with no outside shot...Yao usually owns these guys and I remember him doing a good job on shaq last time.
Every game is a big game from here on out because the WC playoff race is so tight. Yao needs to bring it and play Shaq tough, I better not see him telling Shaq "Happy Birthday" on the opening tip.
