    I think you have to out quick Nash, or out physical him, and you can't do the latter with the new hand check rules.

    So, you need a super fast lightning quick guy to guard him and stay in front.

    Someone like an Earl Boykins...

    Depends on the type of zone. Extend it out to the 3 point line and make them beat you with mid range jumpers etc.

    Man that's so easy it's like taking candy from a baby. You can see it in your selection bias when you make your arguments with one set of data when you CONVENIENTLY ignore others.

    And for the record I believe if TMac OR Yao suck in the playoff's we will lose.

    Unless of course, the data shows us winning by at least one point in each game, right?

    :D

    I agree with you all but this one. It is Yao who carry this team instead of TMac! Given 2 good shooters, Rockets could win this game even without TMac! I just wish He can do his job since next game. :confused:

    How am I being biased? I straight up said Yao is playing the best ball of his career.

    Wow, what's up with NBA Fastbreak on ESPN naming Shaq as their Allstar center for the night when Yao beat him in points and rebounds, and only had 1 less block? :confused:

    Because Rockets got blown out. The same reason Tmac didn't get the MVP in ASG. Your team has to be winning.

    Im serious....if its game 7 of the finals and we have the ball down by 2 with 10 seconds to play, who do you want taking the shot? TMac or dump it down to Yao?






    TMAC!

    To be honest, at this point in time; I'll be happy with either one taking that shot.

    Just this month alone....go back and look at the Bucks, Knick 2x, and Philly games....all were won with McGrady shooting around 33%. He creates SO MANY opportunites for other guys to score that is almost ridiculous.

    As I said earlier, Yao is playing the best ball of his career. Not being biased!!

    Im going with McGrady, you know a shot will get taken. With Yao, you have to worry whether he will catch the entry pass first, then hope he doesnt turn it over as he makes his post move.

    Guys, cut Tmac some slack. He has MORE than earned the benefit of the doubt. His mom in law just died from Parkinsons. Instead of turning on him like we do with all our other players lets give him some time. He'll be back to his oldself in no time at all. Geez.
