    I believe this is a key to our future success. Personally, from what I have seen, I think we would be better served getting off to a faster start offensively if Landry was in the starting lineup with Yao. I think he is a better shooter from 17 feet than Scola and I think he is a better finisher, therefore the more efficient option to finish off Yao and have to be accounted for more than Yao is.

    Scola is the better passer/creator in the paint over Landry. I think he would be best served coming off the bench to spell Yao while Landry continues at the 4 or we bring in Hayes to spell Landry. It just appears to me that Scola clogs things up a little because so much of his game is designed to ramble around in the paint using the dribble and his multiple ball fakes. I'd rather see Landry play off Yao than see Yao have to try to play off Scola.

    I'd also like to see what we would be like offensively with Artest at the 4, Battier on the other wing, and McGrady/Wafer at SG. With Artest and Battier spread out in the corners, that leaves a lot of space for Yao to operate or take the double and get it to either corner for a real good 3 point look.

    I wished Adelman would experiment with starting Landry, to get us going early. Get his energy and improved spacing offensively. Then bring in Scola to follow up on what the starters did.

    Carlos Lee can definitely clear some space.

    Definitely Big Puma. He's not called BIG Puma for nothing.

    Drayton McLane - He'll trade everyone on the court (including Yao) for a bunch of midgets and try to convince the masses that this is a "championship contender."

    And if you still need space, he'll trade the midgets for nothing too!

    Remember when Buddy Ryan punched Kevin Gilbride? That was awesome.

    So the real question is....

    "Which mod gives this forum the most space to operate by locking up useless threads?"

    17 posts and not a single Andre Johnson mention??

    to answer your question, I think it's a collective effort.. the entire special teams should step up and properly block in order for kicker Yao to kick the glorious winning field goal, Matt Turk plays an important role as he has to secure the snap and get it down for Yao to kick it..
