We're playing them in our third game coming up. I think Yao will need some weakside shotblocking help. But the problem is we aint got Cato, and not even Juwon Howard. I think we need to get some help before this game. It was nice when we had eddie griffin cuz he was a good weakside shotblocker. I'm just worried here cuz i don't think we have what it takes at the power forward position. We're probably gonna have to swarm him, but then their deadly 3 point shooters will kill us.
I can't say that I am that concerned about Haslem. The biggest reason he does so well is that most teams have to double down on Shaq and Wade. Yao plays Shaq pretty well and Wesley ahs been doing a fantastic job on opposing 2 guards. Home court gives us the edge we need as we edge the Heat.
If people think that Shaq vs Kobe is overhyped, wait till we start seeing the hype for this one. Except that it isn't overhype- it is a very possible finals preview. J
'Can' we? Absolutely, no question. 'Will' we? I'd say odds are 40-60. Depends on how well we cover for Juwon (his scoring at the 4 spot had been very helpful). Evan
