    Just saw Yao dunked on an offensive rebound. BTW, he did not even bother to alter the shots when the likes of hinrich penetrated the lane. I t seems that they are gonna only play him about 15 min so that he can save some energy for the all star game. Sure I wish that he takes it easy. We aleady have had an injury in the game.

    I don't even think he'll get over 12 minutes playing time this coming Sunday.

    Carlos Boozer looks like he may make his prediction come true. Damn I wish we had gotten him, but then again, who would have thought he would have turned himself into this kind of player in one summer.

    This type of game probably don't fit Yao Ming ...it's streetball. It's the same with Duncan, i remember in the All-Star game, everybody were showboating and dunking and shooting and Duncan is playing fundamental basketball when everyone just let it go.

    Everybody is just standing their and watching players doing dunks. Cooper should have put yao in at the end just to shoot 3's.

    wow, a dunk contest broke out the last two minutes, and i can't say i didn't like it. who knew tayshan prince could do a between the legs dunk. that's how much more athletic guys are now, regular shmo's are doing b/t the legs dunks. from about 4 minutes to 2 minutes, the lack of D was a joke, the from 2 minutes on it was just fun to see bron and melo hook up.

    There must be 20 dunks from Amare and Boozer combined.;)

    Sure I'd like to have either guy on my team. Amare has more potential. However, the only guy on the sophomore team that I really really really want to have on my team badly is Ginobli. This guy is a fearless baller.

    If Kobe does go to the Spurs, I hope that we can make a run at MG.

    wow, 48 combined dunks.

    the funny thing is, there used to be scores like this (though in 48 minutes) in the 70's. i mean, just how God-awful was the D IN ACTUAL GAMES back then?

    flip murray looks like he's straight off the AND1 tour. one of the few guys out there who could do fancy dribbling w/o turning it over.

    even though there was no suspense, i love just watching guys put their athleticism on display for one game a year. i'd like to see a little more D than the last 5 mintues, but not much more.

    What is the point for a center if there is no D whatsoever. All the guard are just let other player walk by as if they are not there. I am glad YM doesn't do too much. That's not the type of game for him. This type of game is nothing exciting.

    the game was quite uninteresting, it would be a lot better if they played a little D to make it competitive
