    You know that guy Tracy McGrady?

    Chill out. We beat the third best team in the East on the road without our best player. That's progress.

    The basket was in within the time limit. I don't know if we would have won in OT,but I feel we would have fought to the end.

    I saw a close-up view of the replay.

    Foyle had actually picked his nose during the last time out and their was a booger stuck to the ball as he released it.

    It's official: We won by a booger!

    If they can't at least beat New York a lot of people are going to kill themselves.

    For this time, RA did have a good reason to put him on the bench. With 4.5 seconds left and 2-point lead, we need to defend 3-point shooting although I d assumed that Magic might take 2-point shooting since they'd known Rick would pull Yao out.

    Rafer was more effective lately.. He did often lay up than shooting, its a good sign Rafer want to attact to the rim..

    Nonsense. You're blaming the loss in Denver on not having Yao in the game? Where's the connection there? That was Bonzi making a bad one on one defensive play.

    The Foyle putback in this case came about because Chuck switched out to Lewis, forced a miss on the drive, and Bonzi for whatever reason didn't get back to box out Foyle. If Yao was in there (I guess in place of Chuck), it would have been a high pick and roll. Lewis would either get an open jumper (most likely), or drive in forcing Yao to help. The end result would be the same -- an opening for Foyle to get a garbage layup.
