No, it's not. Juan Schwartz = John Schwartz = Alias used by Alfred Packer when he fled prosecution for the first case of cannibalism in the US regarding him and his party going Chilean soccer team on each other in the 1800s.
The sad thing is that if this indeed happened, people would blame this thread for jinxing them before looking to the player in question.
There's no other center in the NBA that NEEDS to be fronted to have any chance of defending him. Sweet muscular Jesus. It's just that simple.
alright so let's see, what other center would be able to break this fronting problem that Yao has? They're fronting and backing him? Not only that, but they are grabbing and holding the hell out of him. In this time of period where there's no more illegal defense and multiple defenders can deny the ball in the paint, nothing much more he can do. I'm not talking about 3 seconds but illegal defense that was taken out few years ago. Not only that but this isn't even on Yao. He's commanding all this attention, which give our other role players free look, such as scola and landry. Not only that but we're missing that big stick, which would stop the fronting. Other teams can't afford to put all that attention if we have a healthy tmac. Game 2 and game 3 was not Yao's fault for not scoring, he did his job.
its better than all the blundering idiots that are posting threads about our next round. sh&t happens, this is the nba, and although unlikely, it is possible, so give the guy a break and stop looking forward to a series that still isn't guaranteed
Yao has dominated in one way or another in every game this series. Every basket that Scola/Landry/Shane hit is a product of the respect that Yao has earned against Portland's defense...
I guess McMillan is more of a fan of Yao than these so-called Rocket fans. At least he gives Yao the proper respect and orders double and triple teams against him. A lot of these so-called Rox fans don't even respect the MOST DOMINANT big man in today's game. By the way, if Yao is soft, what does that make Przbilla and Oden? They can't even hold Yao's jock...
