    Deke is out for tonight with a strained knee and probably most of the playoffs, if not all.
    Keys to winning in the second half:
    -Stop LA with Hayes
    -Feed Yao the ball; if he's fronted run a pick and roll and repost him
    -No more 1on1-- play team basketball

    That being said, Portland is playing out of their minds and we are still only down by 2. GO ROCKETS!

    It's bad that Yao can not even touch the ball, we're on a wrong way right now.

    Has Ab ever solved fronting defense? People keep thinking he is a point guard, but he is not. And don't argue Ricks offense don't need a PG, because ball is in his hand to start the offense for a loooooong time.

    Full time fronting defense on Yao for the rest of the series.

    McMillan would be an idiot not to go with it.

    Yao only had 3 shots, and we're only down by 2. We need to get the ball to Yao somehow!!!!

    there is no "fix" because yao isn't mobile enough to combat it.

    the rockets don't have the perimeter players to score without yao.

    Down 2. Not a great finish to half but it'll have to do. As long as they don't have a 3rd scorer emerge we should have a good shot at winning this.

    No way we go deep into playoffs if we cant figure out the whole Yao thing. Let him start taking some jumpshots.

    The Blazers really haven't shot many free throws. They're 6-8. We've gone to the line 18 times, making 13.

    we have NO POISE, NO PATIENCE, NO EXECUTION...NO CHANCE to get Yao the ball...we don't deserve to win if we continue playing like this.

    Guys, don't worry. Our D stinks so far, and Yao hasn't been productive offensively.

    You would expect at least a 10 point lead for Portland, right?

    No, its only 2.

    We'll get them in the second half.
