Houston matches up well with the Cavaliers.

They don't have a big that can shoot the 3 ball.
Lebron is a SF, both Battier and Ron defend SF well.
Cavaliers also do not have a great PG.

The teams that Rox has trouble with are those with a big that can shoot the ball and an elite PG which can both exploit Yao's inability to defend pick and roll and attack Rox's PG.

The reason to trade Alston for Kyle Lowry is because Lowry can defend elite PG better. For Orlando, Alston's weak defense is okay because D. Howard just blocks everybody from penetration.

Lebron should ditch the Cavs and come to Houston in 2010.

I hope someone has the game on dvr. You'll never see the block on ESPN. They only show it when Yao gets his shot blocked by Nate Robinson, etc.

I'm still waiting for the first comments from the wine head and his TNT sidekicks on anything about the blowout, especially the defensive tag team of Ron/Battier. Yao>13/15 from the field....The Chuckster will not mention any of it..

I'm just so glad to see Battier play like he is getting his legs back. What a game....

i think yao sent a message to him. "Hey Lebron, this is what it would be like to play next to an unstoppable force down low" after he dunked in his face.

TNT needs to attach some electrodes to Charles, and when ever he says something that appears to be devoid of thought, give em a good little shock.

He is too thick to give a little shock; he needs a big shock.

I believe Rox can win it all cus of Defensive. Ron and Shane can guard: Kobe, Melo, Roy and Nobli. Scola & Hayes can guard Duncan, Witski, Boozer, Amare.

No one can guard Kobe. Kobe would have realized Shane's and Artest weaknesses and exploited them. Lebron didn't do this and paid for it, he basically attacked them the same...can't do that.

wow mo williams is not great? he is a score first PG, but he is definitely a good PG, he is an allstar. with lebron playing "point forward" the type of PG that cleveland needs is the same kind that mo williams is, he's the exact reason for cleveland's record this year.

he was also the only cav who had a pretty decent game 21 points, 9/18 fg, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals

everyone else on the cavs was atrocious

Battier always gives Kobe a tough time. Throw Artest in the mix and we have a 2-man defensive juggernaut.
