    Hakeem + Ralph = Twin Towers

    How do we play BBall without a true young center?

    Tell me why do they struggle against Bobcats. By the halftime, they got only 6 to, they shoot more than opponents, why do they still trail against a lottery team from EAST, at HOME?

    You think w/o Yao we are perfect, didn't you. Tell me it's still true.

    Eat your words, eat it!

    When the outside shots do not fall, your theory is broken, dude! :p

    The sad thing is that you are hoping they miss every 3 and that they lose just so that you can say "I told you so".

    You don't need a dominant center to win in today's NBA.

    Unfortunately, you DO.
    w/o Duncan or Shaq, no way can Spurs and Lakers or Heat win it.

    SHAQ??? That is laughable. He did nothing in the NBA finals. And the Suns took the spurs to the limit with no dominant center.

    Duncan is a PF.

    The "true fans" are showing their true colors. :)

    You know what? I am pulling for the team to win. But I can't stand the stupid thought that we are winning coz Yao is out.

    You think Yao can stop Duncan??? Scola/Mutumbo can do just as good of a job as Yao could.

    at one point i can see how you can make a point though i disagree.. but after the last two games, i've come to this conclusion. tmac's now 100 percent where as before he wasn't when yao was playing. if you look at the statistics, we're slightly better at d without yao but nearly the same at offense. its not like Tmac's not shooting as much with Yao playing.. he's just making it more cuz he's healthier. Everyone else seems to put up the same production during the streak.

    now... if both yao and tmac are 100 percent we ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE (my bias opinion of course, but hey... i'm on this board eh?). unless of course, tmac doesn't play as well on a half court game. it's irreverent that deke is better than Yao on D. the one two punch of Yao and Tmac is just too great.

    We won with Yao in. Our team has changed since he has been out. Nobody is saying we are "winning" because he is out. Our defense is better because he is out, but we are winning in different ways. Why can't you accept that?
