    13 points deficit - insurmountable for a "high school" team.

    Yao becomes useless if the ball does not go to him at offence; and the other does not go inside whey we are on our side of the court.

    Pacers blatantly doubling Yao even when he doesn't have the ball. The difference is Cato is not in the game. It's Maurice. Padgett has got to be licking his chops. I hope he's got his shot going.

    Why did they draft Yao? They should have taken Jay William instead of, if they don't want to play a centre.

    I think what he's saying is if our guys dont know down shots.. the DEF cheats and sags on Yao.. we have to make some of our shots just to keep them honest and space the court.

    Zone defense is just killing this team. There's no way the Rockets can field a lineup on the court with all 5 guys being able to make a jump shot. Coaches can just basically ignore some players altogether. Carlisle didn't even put someone on Cuttino at certain times in this game. Cuttino is actually supposed to be the best shooter on the Rockets.

    That is the killer tonight, 1-11. Boki should have played instead.

    Carlisle has got the opposing center guard him, but I almost always see Jermaine Oneal cheat off his man to come help if he thinks Yao is about to get the ball. Rockets have no choice.

    And we have plenty of volunteers for the shooting guard position if Cat does not play.

    This is a time for Boki and Padgett to really ask Van Gundy for playing time. Demonstrate they can make a freaking jump shot. Some of these jump shots are wide-ass open.

    Since Memphis is beating Sacramento at Arco, they will pass the Rockets tonight, probably for the remainder of the season.

    The box score basically tells everything: poor shooting percentage, poor passing and Yao only attempted more than Moochie.

    Man how can Yao only take 4 shots after 3rd quarter. If this team can't get Yao to take more shots, they're in trouble every game. If they double team him before he even got the ball, then other players need to make shots...or they're in trouble also.
