    Which center would you rather have on your playoff team (the real season)? He can't score in the post and can't shoot free throws.

    This is the reason that I voted Yao is better in the other thread. Problem is Yao can be fronted or he is simply just hurt and unable to play.

    Still playing, but very ineffective, kind of like Bynum in some games for the Lakers.

    I definitely agree with you, if you are getting stopped by Kendrick Perkins, Rasheed Wallace, and Glen Davis then you are not the best center in the league.

    Yao would absolutely abuse these guys.

    Dwight is better than Yao.

    Dwight can play in the postseason.

    Yao can''t even stand on the court for 1 minute.

    Dwight's limited offensive skills were exposed last year vs. the lakers in the finals.

    Dwight has made 7 free throws. Yao can't even make 1, because he is sidelined with an injury. Yao has can't even take the team to the semi-finals, because he breaks his foot before it happens.

    He never got a chance to play against the Hawks, Bobcats, Raptors, the Cavs, and a Celtics team without KG in the playoffs.

    Let's Yao's had to play a super stack Lakers team in 04 (Shaq, Kobe, Malone, and Payton) and 09 (Bynum Gasol, Kobe, and Odom), a pretty good Mavs team in 05 (who would go to Championship the next year), Two fairly tough Jazz teams (who better than all of team, above except maybe the Cavs an weakened Celtics), and a fairly good Blazers team.

    Do you think the Howard would've been good enough to beat some of those teams?

    i dont think anyone felt dh was better than yao. just more durable. a lot of ppl agree when yao is healthy; he is the best. it's just yao is rarely healthy.
    we could definitely do a better job against the celtics than orlando.

    rockets may be the only team boston and the lakers dont want to see in the playoffs.

    hell nah i hate when ppl (mainly media) say Howard is the best C in the league, that phrase gets thrown around waaay too often and couldnt be more wrong..

    Howard has more hype yea but who shuts who down when Yao and Howard play each other? YAO.. Yao destroys Howard on offense and then shuts him down on defense..

    if Howard doesnt get his dunks then hes basically a no show, overrated ass dude

    Yao used to kill Shaq even when he was a rookie and Shaq was in his prime.. Howard struggles with the old washed up Shaq

    Dwight=Style/Clark Kent Yao=Substance
