    Yao hasn't even seemed to try to do much from the high post this game. Wonder if its just because of pre-season.

    not when tmac is on the floor. he knows tmac would slap him silly. when tmac is not on the floor, im fine w/ what he does as long as he gives yao what he needs.

    but at least when he shoots, he'll make 45% of them.

    Actually, Scola is also a very good rebounder. i think he will start for us this year.

    Wow McGrady looks in insane form. this is why a healthy mcgrady is better then kobe. hes bigger, stronger , just as quick and a better shooter. wow i cant believe how tracy is looking.

    wade cannot do it. he RARELY scores more than 35 and if he does, the max is 40.

    yea i left out arenas but he just does not have the all-around game like kobe/tmac.

    melo, not really. haven't seen a 40+ pt performance from him to say he can just bust out a 25-30 pt half.

    iverson won't w/ melo playing with him.

    bron might become one this year w/ an improved jumper.

    Geez, Adelman isn't stupid, he will use Yao in the paint more. The problem right now is that the Sonics are playing a zone making it difficult to give the ball to Yao. Either way, Yao will be used in the post. Guys just need to relax; stop pretending this is half-way through the season.

    his post game struggled MIGHTILY v. utah too. the shots he has taken in the post in this game have been mostly fallaways, similar to utah.

    if he does that, i don't care if he's in the post, he's going to be average.

    he has to be able to take it to the basket.

    I love how the team has movement now.

    Last year they had NO movement and all and teams were able to zero in on Tmac and Yao with ease.

    I saw one guy think about it and decided I can't do this because my man is moving away from me.

    THIS is what this team needed. Tmac looks ungardable right now. Man I can't wait for the season to start.

    I agree. He has a great range, he can make really every shpoot hen he's on fire. Kobe's also great. But Tracy can really outplayed him. It's Time baby

    could be. esp. when we play teams like phoenix, warriors, sonics where they have small teams and yao gets swarmed.

    just for the first games but if his shot is not consistent i think james can do as good as a job rafer is doing and can shoot

    I just wonder if Adelman gives Tracy time in the 2nd half. Looks like he want to see how the starters are doin' so maybe yes
