ok... you are a Tim Duncan fan (even though KG is better and more athletic) - that explains why people are saying you like Yao better than SF3 - you like fundimentally sound players better than pure-athletes that being said - I believe that KG is the best player in the NBA - and Duncan needs to learn to shoot free throws (of course I will still be rooting for the Spurs against the Lakers)
If the pure atheletes are fundamentally sound with a decent basketball IQ, I will definitely take them over Yao and Duncan, who people claim are sometimes boring to watch. Otherwise, no, thanks. Give me Yao, TD, Parker, Peja, Dirk, AK47 and I will beat your team of Shaq, Kobe, KG, Tmac, SF3 60-70% of the time.
When reading Willis25's scanned picture, I can't help checking if the derivations are correct. Amazingly, they are actually correct. Good homework!
fa7999, an astute anaylsis. The Rockets don't play like a team. They are the opposite of a "well-oiled machine," what the Spurs are starting to look like, and they need more complimentary pieces. Houston has become the home of the "no-flow" offense, which sounds like a plumbing problem.
