You got to give the ball to the guy thats hot...

Yao, Franchise, CAT, whoever...

They didn't play up to par and will miss the playoffs...

All this blaming make me sick...Individually, they all need to show up and give a damn...

Agreed, when Yao's shot is falling there is no one that can stop him. Yao has to get the ball and he has to be our no. 1 option in the half court unless he is double teamed without the ball. But not only does his teamates need to recognize this but so does Yao too, he needs to stop being passive on offense and play selfish at times when he's on. It will come in time with his adjustments.

Oh well at least it's getting better and Yao has been adjusting through the season from 3rd option center to 3rd scoring option to focus of offense, and International to NBA, and layup to dunk, and RT to LS, and China to US, and chinese to english, and bicycle to car, and labelled bust rookie to factual all-star starter, and man that's alot of adjusting in half a year. He's one heck of a learner and he's going to learn to be the best in time. RJ is right on IMO on Yao.

I don't think thats entirely true... this year was the first year in which I saw Shaq's dominance come down some. Take into account two years more experience for Yao along with two years older for Shaq and I think the fight will be a little closer than one might think.
