    Have Banks and Blount hit every single shot tonight?

    Damn... I thought Ainge wanted SHOOTING when he traded for Wally... looks like he gave up a ton of that.

    God, why do scrubs go off on us EVERY SINGLE GAME? Is it written somewhere that it must happen every other night against the Rockets? :mad:

    ****! Yao with the 4th. :eek:

    Damnit YAO!!!!

    Just let him go.... stand straight up, and force him to shoot it over you with your arms outstretched.

    If we're still in this game by the 4th quarter (when Yao can come back in), I'll be really impressed.

    The 4th foul and quite possibly the nail in the coffin for the Rockets. :mad:

    The Rockets should just play the 90's version of Cavaliers basketball for the next 6 minutes... just dribble the entire shot clock, and focus on doing nothing but defense (which they're not that bad at, even without Yao).

    We'll stay in the game that way... hell, with the way Minnesota is substituting, this lineup may be better suited for us...even though its without Yao.

    Next six minutes? This has been our offense for the entire year, so we really don't need to make an adjustment.

    Sigh, Rafer Alston goes back to himself. Can't shoot the ball, can't defend.

    I'm talking no offensive sets... don't even waste your energy running on that end of the court... save it all for defense.

    Only 3 minutes left in the quarter... and the Rockets are down by only 3.

    They're teetering on giving it all away (by making horrendous turnovers), but somehow they're staying in it.

    I'm pleaseantly suprised.

    I really hate the Rockets defensive scheme, the opponent always has a wide open man.

    That is NOT the defensive scheme... just the product of the "dumb" players playing in it (see Alston and Swift).

    They did not leave guys this wide open last year... until Weatherspoon started playing.
