Good to see T-Mac is back to normal.
This is the Rafer Alston we were hoping for. Give me this guy over Mike James any day.
Yao was pretty ordinary, though. They were swarming him, and he responded by being less aggressive and not playing defense.
My favorite Yao performance of all time, that one.

I wouldn't blame it on him that Yao had a "pretty ordinary" game. He didn't need to get the 24/10 of the past few games because he didn't have to. He took only 13 shots and hit 8. 12 boards and 3 assists ain't shabby. The team was playing well enough that they didn't need to feed the post. He also didn't get swarmed and he was fine defensively. (Kaman 7/7, Brand 21/2) Maybe we were watching different games.
