    So who is our scoring option of the bench?
    Also, If we only have scorers out there, how are we going to stop the other team from scoring. Who says we will have the lead?

    If the opponent has more offensive prowress than you, then it would be wise to have a strong defense opening opportunities to offense. But if you have the power, attack must be done quickly and swiftly. So it does depend.

    I think it will be a long while before we see a center as dominant as Shaq. Yao is more of a finesse player so banging inside with Shaq, Yao will lose most of the time. But if Yao starts hitting jumpers and pulls Shaq out for guys like Francis to drive, he will be more than effective. Also, once Yao perfects his hook shot, not even Shaq can stop it. On defense, however, Shaq will foul him out.... that's the problem. The good news is, Shaq will retire in a couple of years. :)

    Rollinrockets,

    At least you have the decency to admit it. Some people were not even giving this guy a chance. I'm a Yao fan, but after one break out game, I will not say he will dominate the NBA. You can't base anything off a few games whether he does good or bad. I look at how he improves, and after only 8 games, you can see a difference. That's all I need to see to know he will not be a bust.

    I think when Cato comes back, we won't see too much more Collier. Sure, I prefer Yao over Collier, but I can't say that I'd start Yao over Cato ... yet.

    Regardless, Cato & Yao is the best center tandem we've had since Dream was leading the charge, so I'm definitely pleased with what we have now. As long as both Cato & Yao are getting 20+ minutes, I don't really care who starts. We'll be solid at center.
