    Since Aldridge has no fouls, I am guessing we will see him front Yao quite a bit....especially to start the 3rd. The problem with that though, is it leaves Scola open for midrange jumpshots. Houston is a tough team to guard.

    Yao is 8-8 and 5-5. Wow. He's pissed he missed the playoffs last year.

    You know I don't mind the no-fouls-on-the-Rockets approach, but if you're going to allow that kind of latitude for pushing, shoving, and general assault, at least keep it square on the other end of the court. I think Pryz could contain Yao a little better if he was able to just push him off the block with both hands or set an elbow in his side on a pick.

    I think you mean Blake, Sergio played defense in his 3 minute stint and stopped the bleeding.

    Sergio -1

    Steve -8

    We'll be fine unless Nate doesn't trust his bench (our only edge).

    He made Yao make tough shots and got chippy fouls.

    Joel said he wanted to play Yao straight up and take that responsibility on his shoulders. So instead of fronting him we're playing him straight up. And now Joel has three fouls and Channing Frye is getting minutes in the playoffs.

    I...don't.. know how to respond to that. Is that an insult. Oh well. You are hyped cause of the game, It's all good. Yao is now 9-9, 24 pts.

    Houston can't possibly play any better, they have an extreme FT advantage, they aren't missing shots, and
