    Howard and Wesley shouldn't even play in this game.

    Great, the old magic reunion.

    The Tracy, Sura, Weseley, Juwan, combined for 8 for 33. Just great.

    I hope Rocks lose this game. So that JVG and Sura in company will get their asses flamed by the fans.

    They didn't front him every single trip, with the PnRs, sometimes Yao sealed off the defenders, all the empty trips. Yes, it's frustrating to watch the game. Talking about the confidence in the big guy, two feet without defender, nope, too dangerous, dribbled out, kickout, yes we got a three out of it, everything is fine. Great hustle play. When there was no front? Nope, still too dangerous, what if the defender sneaks to the front? Forget about it. Sure, Celtics did a great job to deny the ball. Now they are in lead. Plus, refs just told the Paul, go inside strong, no matter what, you bumped him, he will get the fourth. Go Paul.

    Yao can be so frustrating atimes. I begining to belief that his basketball IQ is a little bit inflated.

    Somethings he just does makes you wanna pull you hair out.

    This is one of those games where if Yao was a different type of person, he would have DEMANDED the ball from one of his teammates.

    But, alas, he's too much of a team player sometimes... and tonight it hurts a little.

    How many games do we need to lose until Sura gets it. Man, who would know we got ourselves a Francis lite.

    When Yao, T-Mac, Sura, Howard, Wesley on the floor together, Cetics can pretty much leave 3 guys open, that's just too easy a game to play.

    Right now, Ricky Davis is the ONLY above average offensive player the Celtics have out there.

    Howard 22 minutes, 1 rebound, 1 foul, just great.

    only 1 touch for Yao in 3rd quarter? Can't belive this guy just shot 8:10 in the first half.

    Someone need to pick up fouls for Yao, dude is really hot tonight!

    My question is when Yao is in put Barry with him.

    Barry sent some telegraph passes to Ming for some damn easy buckets. this made the whole offense much more smooth and non predicatable.

    Sura just seems disconnected to ming while more intune with Mcrgrady.

    Hope we see more of this combo of Ming and Barry to get us back in the game.

    That's the thing... if Yao was different, he'd demand it from his coach too.

    Hakeem did it... didn't make him a "selfish" guy... just a supremely confident one.

    The guy just bumped Deke for a potential rebound, great hustle play. Just great.

    If that happens, JVG may end Yao's season with a flu like Mo T.

    Actually, in this case, I think JVG would drop to his knees and say, "finally!"

    He wants Yao to be the aggressive beast we all want him to be... right now, he's more resigned to the fact that Yao's just too nice of a guy, and thus he treats him so.
