Wallace with another foul.... I don't get why Yao keeps waiting for the double team. He should just catch it and make his move.

i'm getting sick of yao blowing those layups from that spot because he won't go up strong. stop bricking it off the glass, try to throw it down. and don't get stripped. yao could have about 10 right now if he knew what he was doing.

and of course the announcers point out yao's fatigue. he's the only player in the league to get tired i guess.

JEEZ. can yao get tough?

missed easy layups and point blank jumpers... then a turn over that looks like the bulls just picked it right out of his hands.

Observations so far...

1) Battier continues to be an overrated defender, and his 3-point shooting is still struggling a bit.

2) Yao isn't exactly back to his 'dominant' form as of yet, he still looks timid and almost unwilling to take it in strong over a guy almost a foot shorter. Seems like he's thinking too much. I don't know what's holding him back, but it's still early on.

3) The irony of Doug Collins describing how the Rox need a shooting 4 with a "bit more range than Juwon", it's almost as if he's describing Novak.

Oh yeah, and we also need to defend the outside shot a lot better; I still don't like our 'form' out there as a team.

are you ****ing kidding me? we don't go for the pump fake then the bulls guy jumps straight into our chest as head jumps straight up out in plain view of everyone and the refs call it a foul? maybe we should just give them a layup and get out of the way.

Man I really miss Chuck Hayes. The intangibles he brings are crucial; being able to pick up loose balls, cut to the hoop and get easy layups, his quickness and tenacity...

i agree. good observations.

the irony of collins saying we need a different PF is that juwon is playing as well as anyone on out team right now.

Are you having flashbacks of last year's "brick-brigade" or is it only me. Wow, many of the Rocket's shots are not even close. The Bulls are stroking it, "nothing but net." (Clyde)
