    Hire Sumo Wrestlers as 'battering rams'

    Pat Riley's Idea

    I think it just might work.

    Well, all we need is our Tundra Dancers (the big dudes that perform during the timeouts) to lean on Yao a bit. That should do the trick!!!

    I'm quite serious about this -_- Also considering that the Sumos are going to be Japanese, that may just help bring out even more fire out of Yao.

    Good idea, I'm very much expecting Yao to be more buff when he gets back in February. Since he can't be on his feet, I'm assuming he will be working a lot on his upper body.

    Shaq will be fine. He's saving his monster games for the playoffs.

    I still think the best idea is to bring in a hypnotist before every game and have Yao believe he is playing against South Korea.

    Sumo wrestlers aren't going to help Shaq's FT shooting. If Reilly really wants to make Shaq dominant, he makes Shaq a 70% FT shooter.

    shaq's career is winding down, it's too late to train him new tricks. the point behind the sumo wrestlers is not for shaq to improve but rather to draw attention to the fact that the league needs to improve its officiating of shaq. this is a media ploy designed to place attention on shaq getting grabbed and pushed around. riles not wasting time in lobbying for calls for his big man.
