    Haha, you think Morey isn't working up a contract for Artest after this performance?

    Great job by Yao, but what goes unappreciated is how well Lowry was playing with him. A good deal of Yao's points was his skill and bad defense, but it must be noted that there were effective and timely passes made to him.

    I actually don't think he is, given how cunning has proven himself thus far. You should almost never buy when the price is high.

    "... two of the best one-on-one defenders in the world...," I like the sound of that.

    What's shocking is they're even better when they're on the floor together. They just direct the opposing team's offense: shutting down the best scorer, directing traffic, cutting passing lanes, and covering the kick-out shooters.

    this is the most excited i've been about this team. everyone on this team know their roles. they commit to defense. pass the ball and most importantly play with emotion.

    This is just so much fun too watch. Ron play Lebron tough, Shane play him smart. When either 1 of them came out. Wafer is committed on the defensive end as well.

    AB and Lowry chasing the shooters.
    Yao making his presence felt.
    Scola and hayes hustling.
