    14 assists on 19 made baskets. :)

    Only missed 11 out of 30 shots, and got 3 offensive rebounds out of the 11 misses, so basically only 8 misses. :)

    Brand had 20 points, but he has no assist and no rebound, and as a result, none of his teammate has more than 4 points. :)

    Brand is going to have a career high.

    I'm at work, so I'm only able to follow this game on Yahoo. According to the play-by-play, it looks like Brand is making a bunch of midrange jumpers. So is he just unconscious or is the defense really poor?

    They are defending him straight up with Yao or Padgett. He's abusing them with quickness (Yao) and power (Padgett)

    Dirk is 10x of Brand.

    Well, normally I'd consider Van Gundy insane to continue using this strategy, but when you're leading 70-49 at the half, stick with what's working.

    So is this kid Simmons going to make more than the MLE this summer? If not should the Rockets offer the MLE for him? I don't see us getting a quality PF with the MLE. We'll need to do a trade for a PF.

    LAC only have 9 rebounds at half. Rocks only 14 missed shots.

    Each team is shooting the lights out, so not many chances for rebounds. Only 23 combined. I wonder what the record low is.

    Clippers are ting 60% and still (already) 21 point less than Rox at the half.:D .
    Give it up, Brand., you got too many garbage points.

    Anyone see when YAO got fouled kinda hard in the 2nd then Tracy came over and massaged both of Yaos arms for awhile and then patted him a few times while he was talking to YAO at the line.. Dont know why, but I like to see stuff like that from our team..

    Yao gets smacked with not one, but two absolute phantom calls. I'm not talking ticky tack stuff, I'm talking nonexistant, not-even-in-the-picture fouls. Both looseball fouls, i think his 2nd and 4th.

    He was encouraging Yao. Yao made a nice move and got slapped hard across his arms. They want Yao to remain agressive. He's played brilliantly

    Just an update on the other games...

    Phoenix is up 10 against Denver....

    Utah is ahead against Sacramento...( I think the Kings are tanking on purpose to get the Sonics)

    Memphis and San Antonio are going into overtime...OOOPS Sorry -
    Memphis just beat San Antonio 94-92 !!
