    Yao Ming has the tools but in the NBA there is an adjustment he needs to make immediately: He is playing soft and he did it in the preseason also-

    Rudy- Get it in his head now, no one comes into our low posts and scores easily. Let him foul out some, but get aggressive.

    Tell Yao Ming it is his job to block every shot in the low post or in the lane.

    Tell him to put a scowl on his face and become the intimidator instead of the intimidated.

    He may still only play 11 minutes, but at least he will send Mutumbo message- "Not in my house"
