    The Bulls are no pushovers. I'm really glad with the way our team played today and came out with a good win.
    If we keep on playing well we can win quite a few more games.

    Good win. Now lets keep it going against the Pacers.

    By the way if Webber had missed that 3 against us then we would be ONLY 2.5 games out of the 4th spot. Amazing.

    not mentioning JVG denied Yao's stat padding efforts in a few games. :D

    I agree. But Yao certainly could shoot more if he see the ball more. His FT attempts are down I think. overall his touches are down also. Being a 60% shooter in those 12 games, he should have seen the ball more.

    The Bulls had no one that could match up with him. He was too strong for Chandler and to tall for Curry. I thought both Yao and Deke did an excellent job making sure Curry did not get into any kind of offensive rythm.

    McDonalds is going to go broke with all the Big Macs they're going to give away this year. This team looks awesome, everyone contributing, a different MVP every game. Today it was Deke, put the lid on the paint and rebounded like a maniac.

    Yao really looks like he is getting it now. Better timing on his rebounds, seems to have stopped dribbling in traffic resulting in less turnovers and definitely focusing on catch and shoot. I know he wants to work on his game this summer and I bet he works on his outside shot and not his post game this summer, his post game looks pretty good now.

    i assume tonight was number 6 and considering he doesn't play a ton of minutes and missed games earlier in the season, his rate is probably pretty solid. 27th still puts him in the top 7 or 8% of the nba in technicals. there can't be much doubt he's a pretty fiery guy who gets mad at a lot of calls.

    Clutch, nowadays NO player can put up dominating stats with only 13 shots/game. Unless you shoot 75% from the floor and average 2-3 3 pointers/game, there is just no way you can average 25-26 ppg based on that limited number of shots.

    Oh, David Wesley did great also. What a defensive demon and hustle player, he must think the hardwood is a swimming pool diving all over the floor the way he does.

    Yao can't handle that many shots right now either because of the defensive strategy by the opponents or he tends to turn the ball over.

    Next year, he might average 15 shots a game and 7 FTA which is around 20 PPG.

    Yes they did. They emphasized that he "only" shot 10 times, but that he still scored 21 points. I still don't like the way they purposely isolate one Bulls dunk on the guy and use that to compare him to a bust like Bradley, but what do you expect from Sportscenter?
