    How about this idea. Dont know how well its going to work but its an idea...

    How about a back screen by either Artest or Battier (not Scola because his man could easily just switch the screen.) When Oden/Pryzbillia front yao they often do it grabbing/hooking his arm and using their own arm to deny the ball, as a result, they are usually to the left or right of Yao and not directly infront. The back screen (coming from the weak side) hits Oden/Pryzbillia, whilst Yao spins the other way and heads to the other block. A quick ball reversal is key so that Yao gets the ball as he is gets to the block pretty much.

    If they elect to switch, then its a mismatch with either Roy/Batum/Outlaw on Yao, and if they dont, hopefully the screen allows Yao enough time to set himself on the opposite block with Oden/Pryzbillia trailing him.

    Just a thought, not too sure how well it would work though? Maybe too crowded down low? Im not sure... :D

    2k9 is different than real life

    we can still win for our good defense.

    Regardless of Roy's 42 ooints in game2, they haven't scored 90+ in this series.
