Howard tonight: 5-11 45% shooting, 16 pts, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals, 1 block, 1 turn over Howard foul out Yao vs Boston: 7-20 35% shooting, 19 pts, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 0 blocks, 4 Turn overs. foul out two centers and he was hack like 15 times How did Howard have a better game that Yao in Boston? Man you are really hating
This reminds me of the stupid argument when Yao was a rookie and sophmore of who was better. Amare vs Yao. Well we all know who won that one don't we. Same thing gonna happen with Howard.
Then bring it to the Feedback Forum. That's what it's there for. Duh. So, in your infinite wisdom, you decide to start a new thread solely to "stir up the hornet's nest" for s***s and giggles, yet somehow I'M the idiot? Wow. Like I said before, 1 star for you.
FOR ESPN: Friday 4th, December 2008 In The Game betwen The Houston Rockets and the home team the Orlando Majic, Center Yao Ming of the Rockets , crushed Dwight Howard of the Majic and out played him, Howard is the so called new darling of the NBA. Sir Charles say it three times and eat your supper!
I guess you are over looking the 7-20 shooting, the 0 blocks, the 4 turn overs the 2 less steals, and the fact that Yao was primarily matched up with Kendrick Perkins and Scot Pollard for most of the game while Howard was primarily going up against a 7'6 all star? If Yao had shot 5-11, had 2 more steals, 1 more block, and 3 less turn overs vs Boston we probably would have won that game even if he "only" had 8 rebounds. Missing 9 more shots more than cancels out that advantage. If Howard had shot 7-20 tonight, had 3 more turn overs, 1 less block, 2 less steals in exchange for 5 more rebounds they would have lost by more than 2. Yao unquestionably out played Howard tonight, but I guess we just have a different opinion on what constitutes domination.
Yao is the man in the Ceneter position and not Howard! Atleats tonight Howard was'nt. But kind of odd knowing that it's their freaking home court game!
I think you are referring to who is dominating the game in those two games, right? But op is talking who is dominating who. Apparently Yao took the advantage and you are ok with that as well. Fine. IMO, DH hasnot got the same treatment as Yao did in a game. should we take this into consideration as well?
You just mis-read the OP and assumed I was YOF and reacted. I called you on it and you are pi$$ed. Man up and move on. This was a very fair post and a reasonable discussion to have. Since it is a 4 star posting and one of the top three on the site tonight in terms of replies, I'd have to say almost everyone agrees with me. You are clearly in the minority on this one.
Yao Ming did a fine, physical job on Dwight Howard. Howard might be the future. He might be having a better season. But when they meet, Yao still generally outplays him.from the jonathan blog i think that this is true yao still plays better than howard .maybe we'll see you in the finals howard.
First one I can't see too clearly, but looks stupid. The second one, though, was absolutely r****ded. I can't even believe that referee has a job, Matt Bullard said it best, what do the refs want Yao to do? Politely move out of the way? Idiotic. Completely idiotic.
i think the op's point is so obvious and clear. when kg outplayed yao (in the 4th quarter only), we had threads like "kg dominated yao" instantly ON A ROCKETS BOARD. when yao outplayed howard (basically the entire game), who according to some bspn experts is the best big (note: not only center, but best big), not a single thread and not even too many posts that gave yao props. and some repeatedly said in here that yao is "supposed" to do so as he's the "franchise player". since when yao has become the "franchise player"? thought by consensus that title belongs to #1. and howard is not the "franchise player" of the magic and is "supposed" to outplay yao, especially he's the best big in the league now? since it's a consensus that kg >>>> yao, isn't he "supposed" to outplay yao? if so what's the fuss to make a big thread out of it? some hypocritical rogue-type of logic at its best if you ask me. the nba refs look like nothing compared to this type of logic. the refs, when it comes to suck at officiating yao, are at least consistent. i don't consider myself as a yof (if there is really such a type of bball fan in the world). but i've been called that and i actually don't mind. yao has been my favorite rocket and nba player since he got to america.
Sweet jeebus - Yao played well and the Rockets are 1 away from .500 - The fact that DH is a badass doesn't matter when he loses to the Rockets. That's all I really care about.
But didn't he also have 5 more rebounds, one more assist, and 3 more points?..and Pollard is a fine defensive player. In fact, he's probably a better post defender than your boy DH. And it IS domination when you significantly outscore, out-shoot, out-rebound, and foul your opponent out all in the same game. Otherwise, what is domination to you??
First 4 T.O. but don't forget what type of T.O. one T.O. 3s violation thanks to other player don't shooting on time. two T.O. of offensive fouls in to horrible flops. (is Yao fault now that refs make horribles call on Yao, you never win vs a ref) Then he didn't shoot well but most was an the first 7 minutes + all hacking and non call especially at the end when KG clearly foul him and never got the call And when steals is part of a Big Man game????? Yes he didnt get a block but BPG are overrated Yao change more shoots than anybody in the league more than Camby and Josh smith league leading in BPG and when he block the ball he usually keep in in the game to get the possession back instead of just blocking the ball out of bound and the other teams getting the possession back. He got more point thx of his 9-9 in FT because he make his FT way more rebounds (minus a rebound and a put back on the flop of Pollard in the loss ball foul) and again one thinks is to foulout one guy but 2 thats 12 fouls and could be way more.
wow idiot just shutup thats retarted Howard dominates Yao in every category you just listed wtf are you on
