    Yeah!!! We won! The first 3-won "streak" (a short stream though) in the season.

    Exactly what I was thinking... very weird how more people show up for Yao on the road than at home.

    Oh, and:
    EAT IT, ZRB AND A-TRAIN!!!

    Jeez... the one huge comeback of the season and friggin' video feed missed all of it! Could only hear audio feed and commentators going nuts as the Rox came back. Sucks.

    At least we won.

    How did Posey play in his 3 minutes? I think the Grif would have been useful in last night's game. Hope he'll be back tomorrow.

    Everybody keeps saying Yao had a bad game but his offensive presence was HUGE! It was Yao that got us going in the 2rd, not necessarily Rice. We came out in the 3rd and started dumping it into Yao. Hawks were guarding him tough but could only foul Yao. Yao then nailed all his free throws or dumped some beautiful assists, as usual. ONLY after we established ourselves inside is when we started nailing the outside shots.

    Yao stats doesn't tell half the story of his contribution.

    Hell, Ratliff foulded out w/ like 8 minutes to go and had more fouls than points. That's another indication of Yao's performance.

    Sorry, I meant to say Yao got us going in the 3rd...not the 2nd. Still can't edit posts.

    "We overcommitted on defense and we have to learn to play a full game like we did in the first half," Robinson said.

    Another way to put this.

    BigDog: "Give me the damn ball, I'm paid to score not to play D."

    i agree with krosfyah, yao still played better than OK last night, shortly after 3rd quarter started, they started passing ball inside to Yao and yao got several free throws that made the scores close. then Rice started shooting 3 pointers.

    According to the ESPN game recap, Eddie missed the game "due to personal reasons"

    Has anyone learned more about this?

    I was talking bout Rice's D that sucked, I have no complaints about his offense.
