    Is it just me or doesn't anyone else see it. Yao Ming in the Asian Games couldn't even post up the Koreans, let alone the NBA Players.

    Yes, it would be nice to kick the ball down low to Yao and have him work his majic. But face the facts, Yao cannot, cannot, cannot push guys around for a spot in the paint area.

    Which brings us up to Steve passing the ball to Yao. I saw Steve (after the All-Star break) trying to get the ball to Yao, which caused quite a few turnovers.

    I believe that Yao really needs to work on this strength before he can even command the ball down low.

    I don't care where Yao gets the ball. The man is that talented he can score from all over. low post, high post, you name it. Sometimes having him in the low post all the time makes him more predictable. But bottom line, just get this guy the ball and on his part he just needs to be more aggressive.

    Are you kidding? I thought he did pretty well in that game. The fact is, when defense put two or three bodies on any center, he is not going to be able to post up. Even Shaq and TD cannot do that. But if the rest of the team can put the ball in the basket, your opponent cannot double or triple team your star center. When your perimeter shooting sucks, you cannot blame your center "why cannont you post up?" Let's hop Pike and JJ will change it.
