    They're actually a quicker/more opportunistic defensive team without Yao.

    They're up 14... they just need to play defense for 2 minutes.

    If you're referring to his second shot, I think he had 2s left on the shot clock...

    GREAT DEFENSE! Not much offense without Yao though... Hope this is enough.

    Player of the Game: Derek Fisher.

    Do you even need to ask why?

    Rafer is close to a lazy man's triple double - 10 points assists rebounds :D

    I for one am glad the fans at the game did not boo the team going in to the locker room at halftime. True fans knew the team would come back. :)

    Good energy in the 2nd half... 2 minutes left and the Jazz are still in the 60's.

    I think everybody is doing a nice job.

    The thing is, when Yao is in Utah immediately goes to the pick and roll... which we don't defend that well with Yao.

    When Yao's not in, Utah doesn't know who to pick on... and their offense goes to shambles.

    yeah maybe we don't need Yao back in 14 point lead... we need defense...

    tmac heats up, we blow them out.

    tmac sucks, we trail.

    it's that simple.

    We are really, really lucky we are playing the Utah Jazz. Cause we are nowhere near ready to play any of the top 3 teams in the WCF right now. we would be 20 points down.

    Why? Let him sit back and relax. Hell, I might even empty the bench now. j/k

    Boozer has been silly all night now trying to beat Yao off the dribble and draw falls.

    Rockets suffocating defense and the greatness of TMAC and Yao really made the difference in the last part of the game. Hayes is way under appreciated.
