    Tonight is Yao's first game against a center capable of consistently putting up 20+ points a night since opening night (which he barely played).

    Since Cato is prolly still injured, and Collier sure as heck ain't gonna get the job done, we're gonna need Yao to shut big Z...

    Go Yao! :p

    I thought Cato is suppose to be back tonight? Anyways, he's not injured, just on leave because of death in the family.

    This should've gone under the Rockets/Cavs sticky thread. Clutch already put up a notice about this.

    Anyways, Illgauskas is arguable the second best C in the league, and Yao will show tonight if he's truly skilled or just tall. Because he doesn't have much on Illgauskas.


    Of course, being a back to back, Illgauskas won't get many minutes due to injury worries and fatigue.
