this + this + Adelman will have to re-evaluate our approach depending on myriad other variables impossible to foresee. interesting question to ponder but way too premature for practical analysis ...
The "Rockets" will get better when Yao returns, both defensively and offensively. Yao makes our interior defense better by just standing there (Shane will be much more efficient defender, he's not one that beats opponent with his athleticism but with his Basketball IQ in redirecting them to someone that can actually D the paint) and Yao also provide us with reliable scoring when we needed (like during last 2min of Chicago game) I much rather see Rockets play slow and win instead of playing fast and lose.
