    I could be wrong, but I do believe that was a joke ... unless you are just playing along with the joke.

    8 guys stuffed into the top of the key, including yao .. lol

    I put in another post about a yahoo article on how he is being fronted and how to beat it and its very simple. First off yao is not just being fronted he also has a man behind him which takes away the lob pass. Just like seatle defended hakeem its the same way a zone. So the way to beat it is by moving the ball around to the other side of the court...either drive the ball down the lane weakside or hit your open shots..You have to draw the defense off of yaos back side to be able to be the fronting defense. Which then opens up the lob pass, But you have to beat the front from the other side of the court..

    Well, the rockets's coach said the same thing that you are posting. Other players need move the ball quickly, and move the ball to another side. What Yao needs do is to seal his man better, which is the weak part of Yao for a while.

    I got it.


    We just put sharpshooters in the rafters of Toyota Center armed with high powered rifles that shoot tiny rounds of itching toxin into the defenders.


    Any time Yao is fronted, BAM! There goes your "defense."

    agree that is yaos weak point, but many times i see him hold his man and takes to long for the passer to fig it out by that time yao has lost position.
