Yao's been hanging on to balls he usually fumbled a year ago. That doesn't sound right but it's the truth. I have great confidence in him ending the season averaging 10 rpg.
If McGrady can shoot himself into games, so can Yao. He hasn't had the usual rhythm on his shot, but he is getting pretty decent looks.

"He's 7-6, turning and fading. You want a guy to turn out, unfortunately he was hitting the shot," Brown said. "What could I do? I had a hand up. I was, '(Man), another one.' Now I know what it's like when guys play against Kobe (Bryant)."--- Kwame Brown on Yao's 16-25 shooting performance

Both T-Mac and Yao are playing like crap. Swift had his feet pointing the wrong way and got blown by, then fumbled a nice pass from T-Mac right under the basket. But he's done pretty well after that.

I don't know about this program, but I'm guessing a lot of people will be watching the game, so it'll be the one with the highest percentage.

Brian Cook?

I know plenty of old timers and HOFer's that claimed defense in the late 90's and early 2000's weren't as good as the 80's. Wilt once said he'd average 70 ppg in the modern-day NBA because defenses were so much worse. Pippen once said KG was a stats guy who disappears down the stretch of games. Bill Walton once said Rasho was a better interior defender than Tim Duncan because Tim Duncan was on the bench at the time. Barkley once said Argentina was located north of the Indian ocean.
