    Totally agree. Head was stupid for the decision. It should be a no brainer to give ball to Yao for that play.

    RA should bench Head just for that bad decision. What the hell was Head thinking?

    Howard was closer to Yao than he was to Luther. A good big man will screen off the defensive player, just as Yao did, for his guard. It works both ways. Had Howard been closer to Luther than Yao, then sure, pass it to Yao. He wasn't. I just watched it again a few times.

    Everything Battier does looks like he is in slow motion.

    It's as if there is glue stuck to the bottom of his shoes.

    Na, Yao was alone when Head first got the ball, had he not dribble it.
    A pass is much quicker than dribble, Howard had no chance.
    Do you really know basketball?

    Tim Donaghy would have more credibility than any of these current refs.

    In this game Yao a lot more aggressive and assertive than a few days ago, which might be due to his recovery from the flu.

    Don't understand why it takes 4 minutes for Adelman to realize that if Yao's out, Scola NEEDS to be out on the court.

    Brooks actually makes the pass to Scola on the pick. Alston should pay attention.

    I just watched it again, you pesky YOF. You're flat out wrong. You just think Yao does no wrong, is the answer to all ills and that his sweat cures cancer. Shrug, I'm done arguing with you. It's like arguing with someone who thinks ID is science.
