Garnett is a power forward. Yao is the best center but does not get the ball enough he gets half the touches he should. If the rockets would have traded Mcgrady for billups and wallace when they had the chance and not wasted money on ron ron they would be the best team in the league. Did you hear that? I think Tracy Mcgrady just hurt his finger looks like he is out for three weeks.

yao is overrated. not saying this because im a spurs fan either (rockets are easily my 2nd favorite team) with his size the other team should never get a rebound. hes injury prone and correct me if im wrong but dont the rockets have a better record when hes not in the lineup? how many all nba 1st teams has he been on? he should be an incredible defender too but again another disappointment. he has too many silly fouls. my pick goes to dwight howard...or tim duncan when he moves to the 5.

the difference is though that those teams play through howard and duncan the rockets have to cater to mcgrady because hes a big baby if they would have made the trade for billups and wallace like it was rumored they would be unstoppable because the ball would always go through yao.

if that were to happen they would still be in the same boat they are in now. no difference. when mcgrady is out yao is still over rated. when yaos out the rockets dont have to cater to yao anymore so it opens up their offense and they win more games. maybe you missed this last night but andre igudala (sp?) posterized him and made yao look like a chump.

u r exactly right dont get me wrong rockets r a good team but they give Yao way to much credit... he is always hurt and he is clumsy.. and they did do alot better when he was on the bench.. im still gonna stick with Howard as the best center... its bad whenever McGrady can get rebounds over a dude that is as tall as Yao.. He also has stupid fouls.. he should be the #1 shot blocker in the NBA but he isnt...

Why should Yao be the number 1 shot blocker?Ā  Because he is tall?Ā  Shot blacking takes alot more than height.Ā  You must be a fast hopper to be a good shotblocker in this league...Ā  I think Yao is the best offensive center in the league... If he was more durable he would come close to eing the best period.Ā  I honestly believe that Yao gets more fouls called on him because of his body movement than actual fouls... I guess it is hard to move 7'6" 320 lbs.Ā  Offensively no center in todays game has more in his arsenal... and the free throw line is childs play for Yao.Ā  I think Howard is the best defensive center in the league...Ā  His offensive game is elementary, an he has trouble scoring against good interior defense.Ā 

You can only choose one of hthe players by need.... If you have a scoring foward then Howard is your man... If you have a defensive forward then Yao is your man!

dont you think with him being half a foot taller than most big guys he guards that hes got a good enough head start? the fact is with his height he should (in my mind) be blocking ATLEAST 2.5-3 shots a game (your boy yao has 1.6). even if he cant beat the big guys...block the guards and their layups. the fact is hes not as dominant as people put him out to be.

too slow for guards, all he does is alter shoots!

last time i checked altering shots was very important and do you have any idea how hard it is to block 3 shots a game go check and see how many people have averaged that

currently only DWIGHT HOWARD...who I have said in previous posts in this thread that is the best center in the league. but answer me this...how many 7'6" guys do you see running around..very few. yao's height is a blessing and he needs to concentrate on rebounds and blocking shots. his points will come. he can sit there all day and rack up garbage buckets no problem.

lets try this again good teams dont have centers that rack up garbage points. they play through their center which means throwing the ball into him and running it through him thats hows you win in the nba so go ahead call for the rockets to play through t mac and see how far they go i bet its a first round exit....and you think 7'6 is a blessing? how many people do you see that height? how many people live a normal life at that height? sean bradley....manute bol they had the same mobility problems as yao and they were a fourth of the player yao is just appreciate him or let the rockets trade their billion dollar industry and see how the rockets do

in case you didnt know....the rockets arent a "good team"...they have the potential to be a "good team" but they settle for an "average" team. ill give them slightly above average. if they played through mcgrady they wouldnt even make the playoffs. unless your name is kobe or lebron you cant expect a team to play through you and make the playoffs.....the lakers and cavs dont even play through them. the rockets have all the right tools, but they cant seem to use them the way they should be used. and yes 7'6" is a blessing. look at the money he makes from it. id gladly be a 9 foot tall mamoth man with mobility problems making gobs of money a year...not to mention the most famous man from china. look at the positives. maybe that will get you somewhere in life.
