    It seems to me like HP like to make it quick and just pound it inside, but she prefers the fancier stuff :D

    Ego? Maybe.

    But hater? Of who?

    As for comprehension, if you can read that post 10 times and not tell me that sounds like someone who's most concerned about Yao's individual success with a straight face, then I'll be quiet... Maybe.

    the original question might be misleading. I comprehended it in two ways:
    1. which way is better for the team?
    2. what do u like to see?

    now obviously, if u are a typical fan, u would like to see what makes the team better. but in my case, what I like "or enjoy" seeing in a basketball game is guards doing their thing. now this is not in the best interest of the team, but the part of a basketball game that I enjoy seeing the most is the Tmac and Magic kind of players taking over a game.

    if you ask me this question specifically concerning the Rockets, I would rank giving the ball to Yao ahead of anything else. it's pretty boring (at least to me) seeing Yao posting up. I dont mean boring as in bad, but boring is in "not entertaining". big men game is really boring and Tmac said that in the 04-05 press conference with Tim Duncan (he said "your game is boring"). it's boring because u know what's coming; post up, back down, turn around , shot, and the most important part: GOOD!

    I want to see the ROckets pound the ball to Yao, let him do his thing, and at the same time, get Tmac isolations and opportunities for one-on-one. but most importantly, I want to see what I consider what basketball is all about: Team Work. I want to see the ball moving. I want to see drives to the basket, cuts, 3 shots, sneaky passes... that's what it's all about and that's what Jon Barry and Bob Sura did for the 04-05 team to make it successful.

    Classy response! I have much higher regard for you base on how you reponded.

    My apology to you for being a bit harsh and sarcastic in my comments.

    certainly a little fanciness can be excillerating, but its all about pounding to get the job done.... (think Tenacious D said it best)
