BigNEDdog21 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 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. The Rockets are currently 3rd in the west...yet you say they aren't a good team? Not bad for a team without their "superstar" dwight howard is way better than yao anyday and then greg oden even though he is injured at the moment Greg Oden? LOL! (Yao) PPG- 19.8 RPG- 9.7 APG- 1.8 (Oden) PPG- 9.0 RPG- 7.20 APG- 0.7 : :
HJ-HawkHecklers409 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Your ignorant if you try and argue against yao being the best offensive center in the league, he has one of hte best shots for a 7 foot big man in a while, what other team uses their center to shoot technical freethrows.. now the shotblocking is difficult because he has to move so much weight around and im not sure if you yao haters know this but NBA point guards are fast and work on ways to get the ball around ppl like yao, but he alters shots, cleans up the boards, and averages 20+ points a game... what more can you ask for?
TallinaBoyz Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 IMO yao is not the best. call me ignorant but he's not. theres shaq even though he is old. there is dwight howard who is way better and then u have some that are not as good as him but are really close to him. hes not the best IMO

TallinaBoyz Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 i no what u said. i said that dwight and shaq are better at offense than he is as well as defense. shaq is getting old so hes slowing down a little but he and howard can still throw down.

No way that they are even arguably the best offensive centers in the NBA... Yao Hands down takes this..

TallinaBoyz Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 T-Mac is injured but u do have a point

(Yao) PPG- 19.8 RPG- 9.7 APG- 1.8 (Oden) PPG- 9.0 RPG- 7.20 APG- 0.7 : : look at the date of my post mr bigned...over a month ago. i do believe that the whole t-mac being out of the picture thing has brought light into the rockets situation. alot can change in a month....as has happened here. the rockets were 6th, if im not mistaken, at the time of my post. now they are 3rd. big improvement in the tight west but i still believe yao is over rated. for his size he isnt being used to his fullest potential. if i was his coach i wouldnt make him shoot....run my offense away from him and let him rack up 15 boards a game. and im still standing firm on his blocking ability.
shorttexas1 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Figured I would bring this back!!! I know you guys love howard but the Lakers played him one-on-one with Gasol!!!! Yao murdered Gasol one-on-one, in fact he murdered everyone they put on him one-on-one!!! Dwight looked fustrated out there and Gasol made him look bad on both ends of the court!!!! They had to double Yao, but they played Howard one-on-one the whole series. Howard is merely a freak athlete with little skill, Yoa is a complete packege. Yes Dwight is going to average more blocks and rebounds, but Yao can win games and score in the clutch while getting rebounds and blocking shots, (when healthy)!!!!! And you can't hack-a-Yoa!
