Nah it's the new system in HOU, and T-mac's injuries methinks there fault.
The new offensive system actually is having Yao start from 15 feet. There giving him the ball in areas we give KG the ball when KG doesn't want to fight downlow for postion.
Yao is suppose to have T-Mac around to help with the new offesnive system and responsibilities but T-mac is injury prone and inferior to Pierce
We needed Rondo tonight, T.Allen is a wildcard and that's how he should stay off the bench... Not as a neccessity in teh starting line-up.
HOU lacks strong PF's downlow wich are abusable by KG.
Battier is underated though, the guy's pretty much a diffrent better version of Posey. He's real good.
They have a good defense in the half-court wich is where we like to play. Battier can match Pierce's strenght.. don't think his first step though. Bonzi is a tricky defender for Allen and I think it'd be better for Allen to just work off screns and rotations then just one on one. KG should abuse anyone downlow.
We should be able to win this one. Keep Rondo on Alston and use his speed. Have T.Allen on Mike James. Hope both don't get into foul trouble and all should go well enough come 2 minutes to go in the fourth.

people will soon realize that Yao being the center piece of a franchise isn't going to win you crap.
My prediction is that the Celtics will struggle from the field and have to grind out an ugly 92-84 win.
Garnett is going to **** on the Rockets.
Key Performers:
Garnett -24pts 12rebs 5 assists 2 blocks 3 steals
Yao Ming- 27 pts 9 rebs
Our key to success is deying Yao the ball in the post. We'll get the job done. Yao doesn't like being banged around and Perkins will do a fine job of that.
