    I'm so impressed with Adelman. he's got BALLS for benching T-Mac down the stretch.

    Brooks + Barry + Artest is our most potent offense in terms of actually running the offense.

    Artest emotion is great to see. Nice to see it will rub off on the rest of the team. Like Yao's attitude towards Howard's antics.

    buddy, have you noticed YAO plays extrodinarily long in the game. i was excited as well as worrying when i saw he got a team-high score. he shouldn't play so long to keep his efficiency and domination.

    I wouldn't read to much into Adelman's benching of McGrady other than it was an "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" moment. Barry and Brooks were playing well for you, so was Artest. No reason to sub in McGrady if you are up 10.

    First of all, great big win.

    -The offense looked perfect, we were making shots, from the in and outside. We were agressive and we just did what we should do every night - compete.

    -Defense of course was pathetic, Dallas was just getting everything the wanted. But one thing, down the stretch, in the 4th quater we somehow managed to play good defense and get some stops which I belive was the key.

    - Good game for Yao of course, good to see him back in a rythm but I would like a lot more rest for him. I expect him to play about 25-29 minutes against Thunder. Now things look fine but we don't wanna read in one month that he is out for the season. We gotta be careful with it.

    - Ron was outstanding. Great, tough defense, good strong offense. That is what he brings to the table. Gotta love that.

    - McGrady looks out of shape, his jumpers maybe looked a little bit closer but he needs to work hard during practices and it will come. It happens every year. Hopefully his knee will soon be 100%. I was impressed with his 10/11 free throws. He can make them, and hopefully he will do that during the entire season. I also liked the way he was attacking the basket in the 1st and 3rd quater.

    - Aaron Brooks is just on an amazing streak. This guy is unbelivable and hopefully it will stay that way.

    - Rafer was painful to watch, especially his shot. Gotta work on that because he needs to hit those open looks. He is here to make them.

    -Sorry Dallas, refs tried their best but just not this season. It is Yao, McGrady and Artest. Even refs won't help you.

    I love Adelman's willingness to leave the best-working combination in the lineup down the stretch. No Scola. No Tracy. No Rafer. But it worked wonders.

    Much better tonight on both sides of the ball. Yao continues to be a beast and Artest continues to carry us in the clutch. We won without T-Mac doing a ton either :)

    I can't wait till Tracy and Shane both fully heal. We obviously need a lot of work, but the sky's the limit, baby.

    Mmm, I'm not so sure it was a benching. T-Mac still played 30 mins. Sometimes, the guy just needs rest, lol. He got hit on that knee earlier in the 4th quarter too so probably just a combo of rest and precautions.

    Yao played way too much, but just dominated the Mavs.

    WE DON"T EVEN HAVE BATTIER!!!!

    It was Adelman's decision to go with Hayes instead of Scola in the 4th. Hayes and Artest were able to rotate defensively. Dirk was tearing up Scola. Scola was just too slow.

    Until Dorsey can be as good defensively as Hayes, he will have to ride pine.
