CAT AND MOUSE: Andrei the shot blocker said he's playing a bit of a cat-and-mouse game with the Warriors at this point when it comes to stuffing their shots. He has 13 blocks through the first two games.
He's glad not to have to jump as high as he can any more to stuff Yao Ming, Houston's 7-foot-6 center, but the smallish Warriors are crafty. "Teams get used to your style of play, and I think next few games will be different," Kirilenko said. "They look for you. They try to concentrate to get into your body and draw fouls.
"I'm ready for this. You see, like Baron Davis, he try to get my body, and I'm like, 'I know this."'
