Sloppy at the 2nd half of the 4th quarter. Can't play this bad against an elite team. Rafer and Head crumbled under Orlando's pressure defense. As usual, T-Mac is the man to close out the game with his ball handling. Otherwise, the game would have been a little more "interesting."
Weird... I remember thinking he did a decent job last time he played Dwight... But maybe he just doesn't have it tonight.
D Howard the next great center vs Yao: Yao 14-22 9-11 37 pts 7 reb 3 asst 4 bl Howard 6-12 4-5 16 pts 12 reb 3 asst 1 bl. Other than reb Yao toally owns Howard.
Yao dominated. Great floor game by Tmac. Mac's shot selection was much better despite not hitting a few shots he would normally make. Did a great job attacking the interior defense of the Magic and set-up a lot of team-mates. I want to see a T-Mac like this in the playoffs, but hopefully he'll hit a better shooting percentage.
Friday night he said that VSpan was "one of the GREAT penetrators of the game!" I hope this is true someday, but Clyde was smoking some of that SouthPark Hydro, because he is far from it.
ABC sucks. Ever since it acquires the broadcasting rights for NBA games, the fans have suffered immensely.
You need the right PG to do that. Jazz has a great PG to match Nash while Rox has none. For Rox to win, they need to have T-mac play the PG position and control the tempo of the game, and they need another guy to grab rebounds and be able to make the shots. They don't have the other guy.
good game and solid win... Tomorrow willbe our game.... defeat SUNS will gain us confidence to reach elite level.
