    This has nothing to do about Ming. I am just amazed at how good the Kings' shooters are. They can bail their all star big guys out when shooting 5-34 from the floor. Just purely BS.:eek:

    They had 1 6fouls, 1 5fouls and 3 4fouls. They foul on Yao in purpose and they are complaining?

    Everybody can have bad games, but superstars have bad games and still are able to affect the outcome of the game, and Yao did that tonight. When he is getting the touches he is getting and is aggressive, even when his shooting is off, he should still get 20/10, pretty much like what Tim Duncan does. TD has had a lot of bad shooting games, but you can't tell just by looking at the box score without paying attention to the shooting percentage, and Spurs still win the majority of those games.

    I only watched the fourth quarter. There were always 3 clippers surrounding Yao paint, why didn't we try to open up paint for Yao? If Rox eventually wants to play efficient inside-out game, the 4th quarter was not the way we want to play; we still need reliable 3-point shooters on the court to open up space for Yao.

    Can anyone tell me why Yao only got 3-4 attempts in the 1st half?

    Steve was terrific today, great hustle and great shooting, I like to see him have both in a game; if he can improve his 3-pt shooting, (catch-and-shoot), I will love to have him as a Rocket for ever.

    Well, AK47 had one game going 1( or 2) for 19 from the field, but he got support from his teammates.

    No one is gonna be hot from the field each game. Kobe had lots of bad games from the field, but those games had given him enough experience, which might have contributed to his clutch performance.

    Yao was definitely getting the touches, but he was immediately being swarmed with double and triple teams. He passed out of them and if Jackson or Mobley could have hit some more threes this game would have been over in the first half. He had a couple nice assists to Stevie though.

    Because he decided to only show up for the 4th quarter.

    Nice game by Francis tonight. Weatherspoon was killing me with those missed layups. Was Cat hurt, or did MJs game just keep him glued to the bench? I didn't hear an announcement, but it didn't seem like Cat was playing bad enough to get benched.

    Cat was off from the floor, and made some stupid plays that led to TOs. I guess that JVG thought enough was enough, and we made our runs after SF was switched to 2 and MJ ran the point.

    I love Mo's scoring but the guy needs to play some serious D. He made Kaman look like Shaq in the 4th quarter. Yeah, Yao fouled the ugly guy out eventually.:eek:

    Just thought I'd let you know, some Clippers fans on ESPN are saying Yao dissed them because he said "we didn't want to lose to these guys" after the game. So you tell me how true their words are. Personally I think that Clippers fans (or is it ESPN) are pathetic.

    Clippers have fans? I bet 99% of them are closet lakers fans.

    The next two games are tricky. The team cannot look past Hornets thinking that the Griz's game is more important. They are a dangerous team. Two things working in Rox favor: we're very good against the leastern conference, and it's on national TV.

    your so ignorant. Steve is 10-15 from the feild. What do you want him to do? He was what got us the win.

    Oops, Colin Pine's job is in danger. I bet that's his translations. :D

    Come on, Clipper fans should go get some professional help about their inferiority complex. They are a bit too sensitive. Nobody wants to lose to any other guys, period.
