Dun-ker, a new NBA center, specially breed to counter Yao's offensive game, 11'4" tall 440 lbs with four hands capable of grabbing while blocking at the same time.
Shaquille O'Neal sniffed and said he didn't give it a thought that the Rockets, and specifically his buddy Tracy McGrady, declared Yao Ming the NBA's best center. He said Yao merely did what he is supposed to do - "He's pretty much the same, just big, 7-6,"
Dwyane Wade said the Heat know who is the NBA's best center, and he was not thinking of the Knicks' Eddy Curry.
i hope the Spurs will beat Houston. And limit Yao to just 18+pts before he gets used to score 35 pts/game against his opponents. Let us continue the streak of beating the Rockets.
anyone heard if Yao has back spasms or something?
Go! Spurs!

Get him into foul trouble...
Won't be easy, considering the game will be played in Houston. Correct ?
we need Tim Duncan or Manu to bring bring the ball to the hoops
limit TMAc too!
4get Ming, you guys need to worry about Tmac and Mutumbo
He is unstoppable.
Yao comes back to earth. But TMac replaces him on the space shuttle back to the orbit.
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here until Saturday. Try the veal.
He has no stamina. Luckily, Elson does. Yao's 4th quarter collapse was crucial.
Basically, Yao sucked tonite, no sugar coating on that. Perhaps still in a bit of euphoristic hangover after slaying the Big Sofa couple nights ago, he seems very much behind the curve all night long tonite -granted i'm only following the game through the live update in the web.
I'm not trying to make any bigger comparisons here, but damn for the past three years I had forgotten what a huge advantage it is to have your big men run the other team into the ground.
Yao didn't suck tonight. He was dominant for a good stretch of the third period. But Oberto and Elson were able to tire him out enough that Tim could hold him in the fourth.
Oberto? He played like 5 minutes
Elson was hotter and wow Horry
but this one->#21 came into the game READY for Yao Ming.
15-6 rbds
and the Spurs winning streak over Houston continues....
Well, i only got half of my wish. The Spurs won but Yao flopped.
But let's just toast for the win tonite.
yao: you like that, you like it, you like the feeling tim
tim: yeh i love ur ass
The game was won by the Spurs doubling the ball and pressuring Alston, Head and McGrady into poor passing choices. It had less to do with Yao being too tired. Several times, Yao was fronted by Elson and Alston and Head just could not pass it into the post. They were just awful. McGrady was really contested by Bowen on his shots, too. That lineup of Udrih, Finley, Bowen, Horry and Elson did a terrific job defensively. It also helped that the Spurs finally knocked down some shots.
The Spurs now know how to rattle the Rockets...until they learn how to pass out of ball pressure, into the post, and hit the open man.

we figured out Yao and the Rockets beating them successfully.
but I'd like to ask why the Spurs sucked in the 2nd Quarter? what went wrong? Steals? TO? Because we were up in rbds, offensively particularly. the FTs were good and we had more FT attempts. And Yao obviously sucked too.
or it was due to our perimeter defense they were having a good time shooting 3s?
forget sliding your foot under another players foot,
slide your hands in there rear, works effective
You don't often see a team miss 15 or more shots in a row. (The Houston announcers quit reporting them at 15 so I don't know how many actually) or score less than 20 points in the second half.
We were determined, defense-minded---and lucky. Luck usually comes when you have the first two, but this was unbelieveable. God must be a Spurs fan.
Spurs were doing too much standing around. And the Rockets are damned good.
I'm not looking forward to them plus a full-strength Bonzi.
gee, i saw some old pictures of TD like this w/ KG too!
