    I'm glad we won. Was quite worried thou in the closing minutes of the 1st and the start of the 2nd half. Beasley and Wade were taking it to the rim so easily! :eek:

    Wade wasn't. He was struggling, it might be even one of his worst performances of the season. He couldn't make jumpers, he couldn't get to the line, he couldn't finish at the basket.

    I heard Battier is coming back this week, cann't wait for that, likely Artest will come out from the bench and lead the 2nd unit

    Yeah, I know. He did a great job putting the body in front of Wade. Ron is stronger and what suprised me he was pretty much able to stay with him (with his speed). Anytime when you can make Wade become a jumpshooter it is a success.

    I know Jeff, thats why i was only worried at the closing minutes of the first half and the start of the second, where they had a little run to cut our lead. But yeah, the rest was indeed a bad performance for a guy who can score more than 30+ a game. :D

    You know, I belive good offense beats good defense, not only in the NBA. When you are Wade, Kobe, LeBron, T-Mac, or anybody else known as a star, you can simply score against anybody.Even if your jumpshot doesn't work, you still can draw the foul.

    Artest made one key thing. He made Wade feel frustrated. I belive it was the first time for Wade to play against that good defense his season. Earlier, as I saw on those highlights he was getting the basket with ease. But Artest made phenomenal job, we made it as a team too. Wade just saw he couldn't get to the basket, and even if he does there is Yao wiiting for a block, and Scola/Hayes waiting to take the charge. He just couldn't get the open lane to the rim.

    That made him frustrated. When you are, you suddenly try to do too much on the court. Dwyane isn't really a good shooter, so when Artest put a hand in his face, it pretty much done Wade for that night.

    If you know anything about grammar, he is saying 1+11=12? No! Ring. As if to say 1+11 = a ring. Duh.

    Oh and Tmac is still not earning 20 Million. And let's wait for a bigger sample size to see if Yao is "Back".

    knee-mac is not the first option so it doesnt matter. yao is the first option and artest should be the second option.

    That's good. He should be a spot up shooter for now. That's why the Rockets pay him 20 million a year. No seriously, I think he's a better spot up shooter right now since the ball is going through Yao. When his knee gets better, then he can do the other things you guys love him for. Just make sure the ball gets rotated to him rather than Rafer the brick.

    Or we can just rest him until he feels better, since we have a soft sched and Battier can spot up even better than Tmac does :)

    LOL at the pic above^ Landry looked like he was about to burst into tears and Artest looked like he was molesting Wade :D
