    In agreement- Here lies the truth of the matter.
    The whole situation would be resolved if we ever had a playmaking point guard.


    However I do notice that Yao Ming for most of the time is playing over cautiously, almost that he is playing hard enough to make his mark on the game without overshadowing his team mates or getting injured.
    I do not like Yao Ming playing Point Center. I would like to see Yao only defering when it was necessary. :p

    Ya have been doing a good jop lately last 8 games 3.

    Big mans will always get T.O., 3sec violation, offensive fouls, and this year the NBA is after traveling, (we know big man travel a lot with the ball Shaq, Dream, etc) And I forgot Big Man get a lot of flopping arround.

    Yao is not mental strong enough so he can resove the problem by asking the better plays by his PG. Did you constantly see the passes from Yao to Rafer? Have you seen Yao got mad for the stupid guard playes. So far Yao is not what we are expecting, of course he is a very, very good player, that is.

    Lately, Yao is thinking too much on the court.

    Even though Yao looks pretty good moving out there in the 4th quarter, I think he is still adjusting to the heavy minutes. There has been an obvious drop of production lately in the 4th. He misses easy jump hooks, layups, etc. He will either adjust or Adleman will have to find a different pattern of playing time for Yao.

    I agree. Yao might have looked energetic late in the first few games but lately I see fatigue in the 2nd half. I guess we have to accept the fact that Yao will never be a consistent 38 mins player.
