    missed a golden opportunity to extend the lead at the end there. Oh well. I am still weary of this team and the 4th quarter, especially if Yao can't get the ball.

    passing to yao while he is fronted = automatic turnover

    Keep Artest under the paint or on the wing, and that will solve Yao's fronting. Just need another threat next to him.

    Brooks always had bad decision making... I don't understand why he is still the starting point guard in this team.

    Portland would be stupid not to front Yao for the rest of the game.

    Rockets would be stupid to keep trying to force the ball to Yao when he is being fronted for the rest of the game.

    Keep Yao and the ball moving and find him on the move. But wait......we don't have players with the passing skills to do that. And Yao isn't good at holding on the ball on the move.

    ARGHHHHHHHHHHH.........

    fronting is not free. it takes a hell of energy and body wear'n'tear. few big men could hold it for 24 min, not to mention 48 min. and fronting also exposes post to fast breakers. and puts the fronter in a bad position to grap rebs.

    so its just a trade-off. lucky for them rox can't deal well with it. tactically fronting is quite beatable by good team ball.

    Not having guys who can create their shots with ease along with limited passing ability forces us into mistakes which makes it easier to defend Yao.
