    Hopefully not for the entire game, because Kobe's stamina is far better than McGrady's and has been for two seasons running.

    And why was Rafer showing off after that pass to Yao? :confused:

    Game is not over, stupid.

    not a bad idea to switch up defenders on a scorer like kobe.

    LOL - anything that you can find to pick on Rafer - you will. Celebrating after a pass is a no no? He did a great job splitting the double and getting Yao a wide open dunk!

    that's why we're better equipped this yr. it's hard to switch off when u have wesley and mac. battier and mac are both tall so it doesn't matter who guards who.

    but seems like they're taking it to battier. walton only shot when battier was on him.

    Kwame is pretty physical down low in the post. He doesn't have much offense to speak of but he's another big body that can wear down Yao a little bit as the game drags on.

    But without question, Yao is our ticket against the Lakers. They can match us at every other position, only big Yao has an advantage against their playoffs.

    Which is why the Rockets are going to him early and often...

    I think it is to tune up tmac's D for the playoffs. I think he'll be guarding AK 47 in the jazz series

    See, both Kobe and McGrady settle for the jumper too much, the only difference is Kobe is much more consistent of a jumpshooter right now than McGrady is.

    On a fastbreak, Mac, take it inside and dunk it with authority. I think your back will be OK.

    And Rafer picking up his game now, good to see...
