    Battier is the only palyer who can make some entry passes to Yao, that's why their fronting and doubleteam works, and that's why we need a healthy T-Mac.

    Tell me how Yao can step up without ball in his hands? Are you watching the same game?

    My theory is the Blazers just outplayed the Rockets and Artest had a terrible first half.

    offense execution is the biggest problem if you watched the game.

    also.. the times Yao has received passes with position... he's opted instead to worry about double-teams that aren't there.. proceedingly making him brick his shot... in single coverage..

    instead of simply focusing on scoring.. and getting right into his move.. that would be my line of thinking.. considering he's been facing single coverage.. and hasn't been afforded many touches..

    This series has illustrated the lower basketball IQ of Brooks/Artest. They consistently don't understand the offensive schemes that produce great shot opportunities.

    However, Battier/Scola have genius level BBall IQ which helps explain why they are so effected despite being outmatched atheletically most nights.

    Does Aaron Brooks thinks he'll get cancer or AIDS from passing? Somebody tell me. He seriously cannot be this dumb.

    I like that kind of confidence I believe the rockets players are thinking this as well. I just get frustrated with the turnovers we make at times.

    Seriously, you wouldn't think we are all on the same side here.

    We are still in this.
