    I probably should make this a poll. Oh well.

    Personally, I think they were discussing:

    1. Getting Francis minutes. I think Yao was stumping for Francis a little at the expense of Luther and Rafer. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Yao complained a little bit about how bad James' jacking has been too.

    2. Yao's role in the offense and his frustration with the fronting D.

    3. Getting help with knowing when to go high and when to get in the low block.

    Yao should be trying to figure out how to defend a high screen and roll. That's what cost us the game. Not the absence of Francis or his lack of post ups.

    As long as Yao can be exposed against teams that play small ball, we'll never get far in the playoffs.

    And Luther Head, for God's sake, Adelman needs to bench that guy.

    Obviously, Yao wants Scola to start at 4.

    Yao probably told Adelman to give Steve some PT and play a 9-10 man rotation

    SIGNED. The 8 to 9 pts Head may or maynot give you on a given night do not make up for the fact that he still looks like a little boy playing among men out there.

    Dude, did you even watch the game? Our starters whooped their's in the first and third quarters.

    The bench sucked, and we were exposed with Yao in the game trying to play against their small lineup. That's the game right there.

    Something like this is my guess.
