    Earlier in the season, we don't have T-Mac, we are losing, people are losing hopes for the team and Yao carried team with Scola, Alston, Landry steps up.

    Now with Yao's injury, who would step up? What do you think?

    Don't tell me it is Hayes, it is not time to be funny......

    It's time for T-Mac to carry the team.

    Lakes run well with Kobe when Gasol didn't come over.

    TMac took over last year. There is more firepower on this team, so they can probably still make the playoffs and do some damage. What a bummer, though. Sigh...

    Actually Phoenix (pre shaq), Warriors and Utah.. strangely I feel more comfortable without Yao on the defensive end especially against Utah Jazz after what Boozer did to us last year....

    Scola might become what Rick wants for a center position

    He could move, he could make mid-range jumper and he can pass

    its on tmac for sure,this is tmacs chance to show why we or I have had so many high hopes for him..but scola and landry obviously have to be huge for us to have a chance

    it's all up to t-mac now. we go only as far as he takes us. if he lets yao's injury be an excuse to not try his all then we'll be in the lottery.

    Utah's inside? you mean Boozer? He is the one who killed us with his quickness against Yao. Okur their big guy is their best three point shooter! so we don't have to worry about him as much inside.

    Yep. I think we will really start to see more of Scola's back to the basket game.

    this time? he has been strong everytime Yao was out.... you question should be " Does anyone believe T-Mac would play well without Yao this year as well?"
