    As this quarter has proved... the refs have won the game for the Cavs thus far.

    That didn't look like zone to me at all. But, I am no defensive czar.

    I'm crying inside to see what McGrady has deteriorated into.

    The problem is that even though Yao had only played 11 minutes to this point.... he still gets tired if he plays long stretches.

    Thus, where he would normally sit the first 4 minutes if the 4th and finish strong, he now is going to struggle after playing the first 8 minutes straight.

    Alas, the refs have "taken him out again" without actually taking him out.

    the zone forcing Aaron Brooks onto Lebron James might be the strangest thing I've seen in an NBA game this year.

    I can definitely understand running the offense through Yao, but I don't believe having Yao take every shot each possession is the way to go.

    They should continue to attempt to post Yao up in the low post, so that he can either draw a foul or wait for the double team and kick the ball out to the four shooters the Rocks currently have on the court.

    Patient kids, dude can't make every shots fall

    One good thing that Cavs went ice cold, as long as Rockets' defence is there we get a chance.
