    Moochie is so unbeleivably pathetic. the dude is a negative out there. each possession on both sids of the ball is worse off for the Rockets because of Moochie.

    Yes, with 13% fat too. What kind of food he ate in China?

    :D

    Just for comparison, the average NBA player has 8% body fat, but since Yao is so big, 13% aren't too bad, but could be reduced with more workout.

    If the defender doesnt commit to steve, he should take it in for the easy score. If he does, pass to Eddie for the bucket. The play turned out well, but having two passes on the break is more risky than one.

    Also, I have noticed the trend that Steve never runs the fast break correctly. In fact, he usually runs it so that he scores himself. It's frustrating to me because every point guard in college can correctly run a 2 on 1 fast break.

    For some reason no site is showing stats. They are all down. They all get their stats from a central company and none of them are showing anything, not yahoo, not espn, not even Nba.com

    Yao's looking great offensively. He's scored with ease against the likes of Mikki Moore and Jerome James, as he should. However, he seems to try to help too much on defense. He's given up at least 5 or 6 easy baskets when going to trap someone else's man.

    Yao seems to score quite a few points and block. Franchise did well too (with the exception of the turnovers.)

    :p

    Yes, we still have the problems in perimeter defence, resulting in problems down low.

    :(

    According to the Seattle radio announcers, there are no game in progress stats.

    Yeah, I was going to mention this too. He's also been a bit slow to get back on defense a few times, which the Sonics exploited - hopefully it's just fatigue, but the fact that his stamina doesn't seem to have improved at all is a point of concern. Hopefully it's just some jet lag.

    Eddie for 3. His shot actually had an arc.
