    Yao is 2/9. Is Shaq still a Laker?

    Sometimes we expect too much from JVG.

    The idiot is going up against PJ, who has won 9 NBA rings.

    Yao is getting a lot of good looks, just not knocking them down, they will start falling soon. I think he puts 6 or 7 in a row in soon.

    Brian Cook is going to get 81 if Yao doesn't come out on him

    The Lakers strategy is simple... expose Yao on the pick and roll defense as much as possible, no matter who he is guarding (they've done it with Kwame, Cook, and there's no way Yao will ever stay with Odom).

    Cook is in the proverbial zone, I think he scored his career high yesterday.

    PLEASE, PUT HAYES AND BAXTER IN! Cook is going to have a monster game as always, because he likes to hang around the perimeter and Yao won't go out to guard him...we might be better served if we play our quicker and hustling front line major minutes to match up with the Lakers.

    It's painful to watch this team at times...

    Wow... what a dillema... the Hayes fans get their wish, but the YOF's have to suffer.

    Hayes in for the sub-par (tonight) Yao.

    Hayes will kick Cook and JVG's ass. Put him in.

    It's ok, we're heating up.

    BTW "The Idiot" JVG has his team only down by 1 even though we're making baskets at a slower pace than those old Native American weavers.

    That's against the all-mighty Phil Jackson.

    Not even he can stop T-Mac...who just nailed a 30 foot 3-pointer as I speak.

    Kobe won't be scoring 4 points the whole game.

    TMAC gone wild. A 40-point loss is coming, again.

    Someone please tell me it was a bad dream.

    Wow! Who're these guys? Are they NBA players? How can an entire freakin' team go cold at the same time? What's wrong with this team? Is it a lack of energy players to keep them focused and energetic out there? The Lakers should be down by 10 now because they're playing very poorly as well, but of course we're playing worse, so we're down by 5.

    Man, it's going to be tough to win when both McGrady and Yao can't make their shots that they normally make. Kobe shot less than 25% from the field last night, so he won't go that cold again from the field.

    Looks like Howard is coming back in. Not good. and he came in for Hayes as well.

    JVG, I am starting to question you.

    What are you questioning, the fact that the Lakers lead grew while Chuck was in, or whether the fact that he hasn't had an impact and the Lakers are out rebounding the Rox like mad right now(with Chuck in)?
