i gotta admit it is fun watching sura with the ball and seeing how he won't pass it to yao that possession.

Padgett and Barry on the floor will create spacing.

what isn't funny is watching david wesley and seeing how he won't be able to make the wide open shot that possession.

there starting the fronting on Ming now with added pressure.

It doesn't look good. Their really denying the ball to him. Hope Van Gundy tries something else.

either tmac has gotta stop letting pierce burn him or start taking the fouls when he does b/c he just knocked yao out until the 4th.

They did it on one possesion... and it led to a T-Mac three.

The rest of the possessions, they played traditionally... and on Yao's only shot, he was blocked at the rim by Raef... and he didn't see the ball after that.

This may be one of those games where they bring back Yao just for his offense (even with 4 fouls)... none of the other guys are hitting tonight.

They let Wesley beat them, but Wesley just can't. Usually Wesley's shots are only good for 1st quarter.

Stupid bloody Howard go get that foul don't let your scoring leader in the game get his fourth so easily.

If Cato was back he would have taken that foul for the team.

Dum dumms.

Don't understand why sura would rather pass out to a cold Wesley then dump down to a hot Yao..

Yao gets one touch in 6 minutes? Rockets just don't want to take advantage of him when he's hot.

That's why we lose games like this.

I know... I'm 50/50... on the one hand, Wesely is WIDE OPEN... and on the other hand, he is OFF.

Ok, hot shot...

Your name is Bob Sura. You have the ball in your hand. You have a few options as you come down the court...

In the deep post, you have Yao Ming, all-star center who's shot 8/11 for the night. Yao Ming, who has taken only one shot in the second half... a sweet-ass dunk attempt that was barely blocked (fouled?) at the rim.

Or, on the wing, you have David Wesley shooting a frigid 1/9 for the night.

WHAT DO YOU DO!? WHAT DO YOU DO!?

Usually when we have a big lead, we started going away from Yao, and the lead dissappears.

Why is this not on FSN or TV-51... damn, I thought the point of signing a deal with FSN was to advertise every game. I put it on FSN and the Dallas Stars were playing... what the hell!? Aren't they locked out?!!

SR610 my only hope.
