    Yao has a hard time getting in to the flow of the game because it's too fast for him.

    OK, that cross court pass from Lowry was dumber than Artest's lob to Yao.

    Hopefully scola can give us some of what he gave us in the fourth.

    Lineup:

    PG:Lowry
    SG:Wafer
    SF:Batman
    PF:Scola
    C:Hayes (bench yao until he wants to win)

    Who made that long court pass?

    The only way it remained in the arena was because of that backboard.

    Do you think that Laker fans used to say that Shaq sucks every time he was having an off game?? :confused:

    thank god we have a VERY BALANCED team. if we just had the same role players as before with yao and artest as the leaders (when it was just tmac and yao), we lose this series in 5 at most. thank god for the scolas, landrys, wafers, lowrys...

    man last year's team would have put up a better effort than this. pathetic. a close out game tells a lot about a team and our 2 best players are GHOSTS.

    finally scola is back. give the man the damn ball and let him take us home. he's the only one with ice in his veins right now.

    seriously, knowing yao, and after playing 44 minutes and the long flight, i'm not really sure what we should have been expecting. hopefully, he's reserving it for the 2nd half.

    GO TO VON AND SCOLA, I hope they double Yao so that will free them off, Yao can't do one on one at all

    yao really sucking is such a big game. he's gotta bring it if he's going to be the face of the franchise.

    this series, scola has been the best player.

    The pace of this game reminds me of the Rockets playing in Salt Lake City.

    Always keeping it close, but completely out of it mentally.
