    Tends to happen when the other team can't miss a dang shot from three land...they must've made 10 threes in a row.

    Just hate that style of playing, but when the other team is that hot from the outside and they can't miss, it tends to work.

    McGrady's outside shot is (much like everyone else) off, it's contagious on this team I guess.

    EDIT: Just remembered that McGrady was holding his back and hobbling again. That's the price we have to be willing to pay if he drives inside (which he did on that play that apparently reaggrevated his injury).

    we'll find some way to choke, but at least we'll make it semi-interesting for the final few minutes.

    STILL IN IT!

    We have to buckle down on their 3 shooters. We can still win this thing!

    Weren't two of them bogus offensive fouls? Another one was a bad pass from Wesley that was credited to Yao. If you're seriously blaming Yao for our play tonight...you obviously aren't watching the game.

    Looks like it. He won't shoot or drive, since holding his hip, he just keeps passing.

    problem is it'd be nice if we could find a half-decent backup for tmac so he can stop getting hurt so often playing a ton of minutes.


    sure hope CD's got something up his sleeve tommorow, Lord knows we need it.

    He's tired. Constant double teams do that.

    If yao has an off-night, Rockets have a chance. If TMAC has an off-night? Rockets has slim chance

    Nah, he hasn't played that many minutes tonight.

    I tend to know if McGrady is hurting by his shot and his movement on the court.

    sometimes I'd like to see Yao just hack the **** out of anyone that comes in the paint.

    If Juwon has an off night, JVG plays him for 20+ minutes. They must be sleeping together.

    tmac wasn't double teamed all game every game in orlando? he was the ONLY option there and he still managed 30 points a night.

    he was fouled on a play and walked to the ft line holding his hip with a grimace on his face. since that exact point of the game he has stopped doing anything.

    i hope you're right but it seems pretty obvious.

    God! Can we get Yao out on defense so Murphy doesn't blow by him every single time?!! Just put Stro at Center on defense, at least he can keep up.
