for **** sake, he could not get Miller in check

Miller torched him and Yao could not get open

pathetic

who ever blames it on Artest is an idiot!

check artest stats, he cant do it all....no one stepped up, brooks failed misarably

Hah this has to be sarcasm right?

I promised i say anything about Yao, but I'll try to be nice, he didn't play "His best"

The fronting thing is seriously killing us.

This is just a reg season game, imagine the playoffs.

And anyone that Blames artest is an idiot. He was kickass all night, game wouldn't have been close if not

for him, he was hot so he took the shots, i don't blame him.

Aaron Brooks's play was inexcusable, there was a reason RA didn't play him on the last posession

Why doesnt every team in the universe front Yao, i would never understand. Front him renders him completely ineffective.

This is especially true now that we dont even have a true "PG".

Those 3s that he made early in the first half were fool's gold. I knew it would come back to haunt us late in the game. Artest absolutely refused to pass the ball...

How about shift some blame on the coach?

But then, the Miller thing was indeed Yao's fault.
His inability to go out and defend the screen.

Adelman should have told the little Brooke to at least
contest Miller's shot. I mean, anything is better than leaving
a shooter wide open uncontested.

But then again, Yao is the one to be blamed. He sucked.
He played like garbage. He got blocked; He got dunked on;
and he got fronted badly.

Sorry, Yao. But you really did suck tonight.

Maybe you were watching a different game, because all I saw was Artest jacking and bricking.

What are you high? Yao was being fronted and the refs weren't calling anything on Yao. In the last 30 seconds Artest jacked up three 3 pointers, missed them all. That 2nd one he lunched where we got the offensive rebound was just bad, when things like that happen you hold the ball and create another play.

if no one gets open, if no one is taking charge, why wouldnt he?

he had more than 30 points, why wouldnt he?

They tried to play Yao, but Yao could not get open, he just could not get in front of Miller

Anyone with eyes could tell as soon as Artest touched the ball, he was going to shoot it. He's selfish, plain and simple. He doesn't read what the defense gives them, he's just determined to shoot the ball regardless of whats happening.

It takes a lot of energy to front a man the size and strength of Yao.

Teams with deep front lines will usually do it though. And even so..they'll hold off until the 4th quarter.

Anybody know the name brand of that "white powder" LeBron puts on before the game starts?
Yao needs to telephone LeBron. It seems that every time Yao touches the loose ball, it slips off
his hand.

Too many 2nd chance opportunities for the Bulls.

Artest played well the majority of the game.

The last two minutes, though, need to be considered separately. He took bad shot after bad shot. This game is on him and Adelman.

Yao was just part of a bigger problem. He was garbage tonight but I'm not going to blame everything on him.

I think it's chalk.

This happens all the time, our team doesn't know how to beat the front, neither does Yao.

How difficult is it to do a lob. I mean, Yao is 7'6", isn't he?

The only thing I blame Yao is lack of leadership for the team.

Both defense and offense crumbled in the 4th quarter.

Lobbing is way too risky. When the backside help comes and Yao gets doubled there's probably a 60% chance that it results in a TO.
