YAO FT shots from the charity stripe. Then PAUL took over on the next ensuing possession/opportunity w/ a GW lay-up past Skip 2 my Lou for what proved to be the end of Houston's 5-game win streak. PAUL sealed the deal and I have to say he has VASTLY Improved his offensive set of skills, as a much better scorer, overall shooter, and decision maker. Whether it be Dropping Off Dimes & Helpers to his teammates playing alongside of him, PAUL continues to FLOURISH, Grow, though not vertically (he STILL can FLUSH), and GAIN Superstar status with his stardom getting better by each game he plays, changing the way teams playing vs. these Hornets, and with each nite he steps foot onto the floor, PAUL could NOW be called the Best PG in the Game (Considered he's very young, the team he has lifted, and he's only going to get better, we haven't seen the finished product just yet). He is a LEADER & now can be called upon during cruchtime with the final shot. On Top of that, Paul SHOULD be #1 in some, if not all the early MVP Lists!

He Got Hacked in KEY, Crucial Situations ~ PAUL got the GW but those bad calls going against Yao/Houston won the N.O. Hornets the game. They are 15-5 on the ROAD! Why aren't they getting the good Home Attendance in a good city like New Orleans? (Host City 4 All-Star Game). That has to affect their play @ home. I wonder if Houston will continue to play well when T-MAC gets BACK HEALTHY...? Hornets look like the "real deal" and a true, legit contender in the West. I mean the Rockets & Jazz are on the outside looking in for the Playoff Picture this season!!! Russ What I’m hearing is YAO, Once Again, got NO CALLS to go his way down the stretch!
