    make 3-4 stops in a row. if we can't take the lead right now w/ tmac as hot as fire, it's going to be disappointing.

    Mac's in a zone. :)

    Too bad our defense...isin't. But I think this may be one game where Mac can singlehandily carry the Rockets.

    the thing that u like tmac's scoring is all of it are set plays. he's not doing the creating. he's not holding the ball. we're actually running specific plays and we're executing.

    Just making sure you know this. I hate when people blame T-Mac for not moving off ball when it is delman's call on if the play calls for an off ball play from T-mac.

    The problem with Yao's defense is its all mental in the mind of the other teams. When teams respect Yao, he looks a lot better defending in the paint and alters a million shots.

    When teams just go right at him and shoot over the top, he really gets exposed.

    What the hell has happened to Scola's jumper? They're not even close.

    Scrubola still horrible. Couldn't make it a one possession game at the end.

    you sound like my college coach 9sense of urgency). you just brsught back a lot of memories!

    we agree though. with terrible teams all you have to do to win the game is apl a little pressure on them and they will give up...they expect to lose, all you have to do is show them its gonna happen.
