battier bricking 3's to scola is working well. and yao has been huge inside so far. blocked shaq twice, 3 seconds on shaq, blocked someone else. brooks is being aggressive on offense, which is good, scola is killing. if anyone on the damn team could hit an open 3 that would be nice.
so what's Suns' game plan? They will put barnes in 4 for the whole game? That's where we will abuse them!
Nice start but we should've been up by much more with how good defense we're playing. Was that foul just called on Yao ?
at least scola is abusing barnes on the rebounds to make up for giving barnes open 3's. if we make them pay too much, then they have to adjust. and, knock on wood, but it's almost like shaq plays against yao differently than against others. like he doesn't want to just turn and knock him down b/c that would be disrespectful. and it's helping yao not foul so far.
You guys have to notice after 7 years of pumping iron, Yao is as strong as Shaq now! Remember when Yao first came into the league?
