And for those who want my computer to get another virus so BigSlam can take over again:

I love your game threads, but why is Wallace's defense higher than Okafor's? I don't think he is a better defender.

thanks. It looks that way but it's even. My copy+paste skill can be seen better with Wallace's defense so it looks like his is better than Okafor's. I gave them an even amount.

You know if somebody asked me I would probably say Mek is a little more valuable defensively than Crash, If only because he plays inside. But actually the team has been very slightly better defensively with Crash on the court than with Mek on the court.

They give up 101 pts per 100 possesions with Crash on the court and 102 with Mek.

I think this is one of those times where the stats don't tell the whole story, i.e., with Wallace missing a lot of time lately, Okafor had to play alongside Morrison quite a bit. Okafor hasn't been injured, and even when he's not in the game, you still have two decent defensive big men playing instead.

Rox are 3-0 since Tmac played last. I'll be watching this one to evaluate a couple of fantasy basketball options for my team, they're on a pretty solid losing streak and have gone from a sleeper contender to a fringe playoff team. Lot of losing in my basketball life lately...

This is one of those games I think we would be better off starting Gana and EO50 together with Boris or Crash coming off the bench.

Gana Vs Yao
EO50 Vs Coca Cola
Crash/Boris Vs Battier
Raja Vs Rotten Ronnie
Felts Vs Brooks

I think that would be the best match ups and having Crash or Boris coming off the bench today would add another dimension/spark.

I'm looking at this game at the catalyst for our playoff chances.

Seeing how we respond to Friday nights disaster will say a lot about us as a team.

Beautiful drive by Felts.

Crash with a sweet wrap around pass to EO50 for the jam.

I think Okafor got LB's message. He's set a dozen screens already.

it would be nice to see raja get hot again with the jumpers like he was before the AS break. we really need some shooters to open up the lanes for mek, wallace and diaw.

Yao seems like a much better match up for Okafor than Howard.

MJ on the road trip. sweet. i wonder where he played golf in houston today?

Understandable, but EO50 is VERY conscious of Yao anytime he shoots or looks to shoot and it's affecting the quality of his shot.

Interesting that LB hasn't mad e sub for the entire qtr.

34% fg. awesome.

Got carried away hooping outside and lost track of time. Any interesting stories I missed?

That was so obviously going to happen.

The fact that they are shooting 53% and we are shooting 33% it's amazing that we are only down by 7 (should have been 4 except for the Barry buzzer beater)

55% for the other guys. Think I found the story so far. Bigs shooting poorly, I imagine Houston put Artest on Boris?
