LOL....Max you really outdone yourself with the Chinese letters. Should be a good game. Im anxious to see Devin Harris play against us. He certainly has my vote for all-star. If Rafer doesnt come back Brooks is going to have a hard time guarding Harris. T-Mac vs VC matchup is always great. Yao should have a field day against Brook. That should be our number 1 key like you said, feed him the ball and work inside out. Then it is up to our shooters to make their shots off the Yao pass. They are losing to the Heat right now as we speak so they should be a .500. They are under .500 at home, but they played the Mavericks well so we cannot underestimate them. Barry should be back along with Rafer Monday so we finally get our full team together.

A Devin vs Brooks matchup intrigues me.

Carter
卡 = ka
特 = te

Lopez
洛 = lo
佩 = pei
斯 = ss

斯 <-- you see this on Simmons, Harris, Scola

look like people are more interesting in those Chinese character than the game itself
since this game will attract more audience than the Superbowl (thanks to China)
i decided to do the Chinese character
(i actually thought about putting everything in Chinese)

let's talk some game
1. need to play inside out, feed Yao the ball and create open shots for everyone
2. stop dribble penetration, need to force Harris away from the basket
3. we are 12-0 when reach 100 first

Carter and Harris have been the best backcourt in the NBA, defense has to be sharp, otherwise they'll carve us up.

close game.. Yao wins the game for us. He goes for a career high...

Harris has good D and is quick = problems for Brooks...

Carter vs TMac = Best matchup of the game.

Yi will front Yao whenever he has a chance. I think Brook will do a great defense job on Harris. But, Loopez could make some noise inside.

Shuld be a good game , this is the "easiest" of the touger few games coming up so I hope we take advantage and win.

I expect Harris to kill us , but we will hold off Carter with Artest and Battier.

Yao should get Lopez into foul trouble.

max, you forgot the most impt. factor to win the game:

1. score more than the opponent..

Should be a good matchup.

- Yi vs. Yao: The Chinese Superbowl.
- Carter vs. McGrady: battle between the cousins.

If Sean Williams doesn't play in this game, the Rockets will win.

forgive me being ignorant, how is Sean Williams being such a big issue?

Harris is going to kill us. I wouldn't be surprised to see Adelman put Battier on him at times.

T-Wack · Post #19 » by **T-Wack** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 3:05 pm

If we can keep Harris off the free throw line, then we'll be golden.

WHY?

Harris will kill him , just look how easily Foye got to the rim everytime when Artest or Battier were on him.

People overrate Artest's and Battier's ability to stay with point guards , Harris is one of the quickes guards in the league.
