It souldn't have surprised you, because in our last game with them we played them close and they only finished a little better than us in the closing minutes, we were playing without T mac!
Great win and a great test for a surging Rox team...We just need to continue taking care of business.. It was great to see Francis back and contribute the way he did...
This game against GSW would be a great test to Yao Ming to go against fronting system. I believed GSW will front him all night and even off the ball. It's up the other players to made them pay so that Yao Ming can get chances to get the ball.
this win really set us up to put together a serious winning streak... assuming we take care of GS, then our next 5 are against inferior teams kings grizz nets raptors 76ers its very feasible that we are sitting at 15-7 at the end of the road trip. gotta take care of business.
My fault. I thought Suns played GS the night before. Definitely, this is a quality WIN. When we lost to Suns on the second of B2B, I always wondered what if not the second game of B2B :LOL
I was watching the Video that NO NAME posted of the 4th quarter and i saw something that concerns me a lot, and is McGrady attitude, he missed all of his 3 fourth quarter shots, but the thing that concerns me mots is the quality of the shots he takes. His 3 shots consisted in: first he took and off balance jump shot from near the corner (inside 3 pt line) then he took a contested JP with plenty time on the clock. then he took another contested off balance jump shot from the key. I´m not saying TMac "don´t shoot" but i´m just saying that in the 4th quarter you have to take it to the rim not take low percentage shoots like that. This concerns me because it is like the way TMac plays in almost every 4th quarter, when he is hot he will nail most of those off balance and early 3, but when he is not he has to make sure that he takes the highest possible percentage shot. (AKA GO TO THE BASKET)

I somewhat agree. But that could be due to histroical reasons that he thinks he has to be agressive scoring. If others like Yao and Francis can take load off him, it will make his life easier. To his credit though, when we were 94-92, Tmac got the ball, tried, saw nothing there, and he gave up the ball to Francis, who drove and laid it in.
lol my bad- looked at wrong thread. but anyways- we still lost and that sucks. no more winning streak
