This is the type of performance that makes
you wonder...

It really is absolutely awful.
I give the Celtics credit for
putting forth good effort without
their best player.

Houston game should be interesting.
Yao was really outstanding last game.
Battier and Artest together guarding
Bryant is probably the best duo he
could face.
If Houston shoots well, they can be
very tough. Their Defense really plays
well if they score and Yao has a chance
to get back. If the Lakers get running,
Yao's effectiveness decreases exponentially.

my analysis, for whatever its worth.
