    Suns are 0-3 against them They want to prove that Utah doesn't have their number. They came out the way I thought we would tonight.

    It might be a case of him deferring to his teammates because they are shooting well...but he REALLY needs to step up his defense.

    Supposedly, he has been lecturing the team on "playoff intensity." :confused:

    I don't actually think it either. But man, that's the best way I can describe his play in the 1st half.

    I just hope that this is the "I dont give a crap" offense from Tmac and not the "ow, my back hurts" offense... :mad:

    I can't watch. So can someone tell me why they did not give to Yao more in the later part of second quater? Hornets had Hilton Paris guarding Yao.

    I don't think tmac doesn'r care, I think he is coasting a bit. with a 15 point lead that we had, he eeded to coast and save himself. He'll show up if we need him.

    Juwan is the one who is really playing like ass. His play had declined all year.

    I dunno. You'll have to ask Tmac and Rafer about that one.

    Rockets are playing well offensively, but their defense and rebounding is another thing. Mcgrady is pretty quiet in the first half, but the rest of the Rockets are shooting well ... even Rafer is shooting well, LOL.

    The only thing I can say about the Rocket's defense is that they are shutting down the open lanes and forcing New Orleans to shoot outside of the paint. Not much they can do if New Orleans is sinking their jumpshots ...

    We wasted a good offensive 1st half by letting Devin Brown go off for 17 points. Tracy needs to pick up the intensity in a hurry. His lethargy is the main reason we haven't blown this thing open. I expect a big 3rd quarter from him.

    He isn't really taking shots, when the back hurts he throws up a ton of bricks and is short on his jumpers. Tonight it looks like he just isn't attempting to do anything. As long as we are winning the game, I don't want him to do anything.

    Just take it easy and save himself for next weekend.

    decent first half

    everyone is playing well, but we could do more

    Yao needs to be more aggressive
