Box score seems to indicate Cato is on fi-yah. 9pts 5 rebs after end of 1st 1/4.

Amazing. Brand and Olowokandi are injured, yet Clippers have a 2 point lead. I'm beginning to think that the Rockets are not very talented.

The Rockets guards get away with playing some of the worst defense Ive ever seen. Thats where the Rockets biggest weakness lies -- perimeter defense!

I knew that Steves defence was suspect. I now know that he dosent play defence! He can turn it on sometimes but most of the time he just dosent bother!

yeah dude, i dont know if your getting the game where your at so ill tell it to you like it is: Our guards are not guarding their man, they are funneling their opponent into Yao, in other words they let their man blow right by them and right into Yao Ming. Its not like Yao was dominating out there though, but still, our guards defense is atrocious.

Yao's third foul was BS. Jaric (?) drives wide for a lay up, Yao is standing there with his hands up, and Jaric's off hand reaches back and taps Yao's hand. Woop-d-freaking-do. That didn't alter the shot in any way, what a BS call. Yao hasn't even scored yet! Stupid refs.

Not trying to be rude, just an FYI:

That stupid fence thing probably started it but....

They are spelled:

DEFENSE and OFFENSE.

Sorry, just a pet peave of mine.

No harm!

Cato is doing well. I think we can win this one without Yao.

The guards are allowing them to run into Yao Ming, that's why Yao has 3 fouls. what's happening with Yao? 3TO, 3PF?

The English (i.e. British) spellings are defence and offence, so technically it's okay. And it's peeve, not peave.

Did you notice Griffin on the last play before the half. He was away from the basket guarding his man. The ball went in a different direction, Griffin leaves his man and runs over to the far side of the basket, guarding nobody. He stands there while the Clipps make an open dunk. Is he getting defensive instruction because he is making fundamental mistakes?

Well, I'll be damned!

And to think I won 3rd in state at a spelling bee in 1982.

I'm still right on defense and offense, though!

Of the Rockets' first 5 shot attempts in the third quarter, 4 of them are three point attempts. They've missed all 4 of them.

4 out of 5 offensive schemes are 3 point attempts for the Rockets.
