    Well, they were looking decent on turnovers... until now. This game is unspeakably ugly.

    Who knows... but they could possibly have the best defense in the league, especially against teams that only have T-mac, Vince, and AI type superstars.

    That outweighs the sputtering offense (which is not bad, just out of sync)

    If Yao is not strong enough to really out power a 6-10 or 7 footer to dunk on them, then he needs to work on that hook shot of his on days where there is no practice. Just take the time to work on that because with his height, all he needs to do is develop a consistent 10-12 footer and practice his hook shot with finesse (not using too much power) and he'll be a fine center for this team. His shots have been in the rim, just rolling out.

    And you are watching a game you are not supposed to watch. You are talking the way you are not supposed to talk.

    Ugly ball from Rockets is expected after 2OTs yesterday. Good thing is they made 76ers look even worse.

    man, this has gotta be the fugliest game i have ever seen. but at least we're gonna win.


    steve and yao missed damn near everything they shot tonight but our defense was great (with a little help from philly missing every open look they got) and pulled us through.

    luckily cuttino decided to be able to shoot tonight or we may have actually lost this game.

    i think we started the 1st quarter 1/14. the 3rd 1/8 (and i think shot 3/21 overall) and started the fourth 1/14 or something horrible like that. and in all 3 cases i think our lead either stayed the same or even grew. just ridiculously ugly. oh well, i'll take the win.

    Man, a relatively easy victory while shooting an eye gouging 33%, those don't grow on trees!

    All in all, of course it would be sweet to be 8-2 right now but I'll happily take 7-3 and STFU.

    for real, we did this all last year two, may have even had a .667 winning percentage at one point.

    well i guess 1-1 was to be expected on this road trip, just not winning the 2nd and losing the first. but .500 on the road is good enough and now we're 7-3 and things are going well. now if we just figure out how to shoot again that would be nice for the upcoming tougher road trip.
