    I think Yao outweighs Pau by an entire human being.

    the two stories of this game are the rockets being 3-22 on 3's despite some good looks and the lakers having 2 ft's through 3 quarters. kobe was 3-7 against battier that quarter for everyone who thinks he was lighting him up.

    Kobe will start to miss his jumpers in the 4th.
    We will be fine.
    Go Rockets!

    rockets must match the intensity the lakers will bring.

    plus, last 6 minutes always belongs to the closer and im not talking about Kyra Sedgwick

    Do you guys know how Yao can get 3 to 4 more rebounds and avoid all those humiliating strips out of his hand?

    The answer is standing right next to him. That is Lius Scola. Look how Scola once he gets the ball he immediatly tucks the ball into his stomach and bends forward like how NFL running backs use their arms to shelter the ball from getting stripped on a quarterback pass.

    Ming needs to recoil the ball immediately to use his body and arms.

    When u have weak hands u must use the entire body.

    Did you see how Lowry have the vision to find Yao?? Aaron Brooks could only dream of doing that. Lowry jump up before he pass and recognize the play before it even plays out. He has the vision of a true PG like Nash and CP3...Aaron would never that that...if it's Aaron with the ball at the end, he would have just taking his own jump shot instead of finding Yao inside...that is the difference between a true PG and a not true PG.

    Are you being serious?

    Unless you're Yao Ming (which he obviously is not...) you're not going to block a jumpshot...

    I'm sure Battier would rather be making a real block on the ball. He's just that quick or can jump that high.
