The situation's a little more complicated than that. Feigen at the Chronicle thinks Deke is the better shot blocker but Yao is better at...
I love Deke but there's no way he's going to give you more than 25 minutes a night. Additionally there's no way he's going to be able to put up...
You're not going to be saying that if a big center like Shaq, Bynum or Howard rips the Rockets a new one in the paint. The issue is match-up's....
durvusa's making a valid point with regards to the playoff implications of the streak. I'm pretty sure that every other team that's had a streak...
Oh yeah, and don't forget Odom.
It depends on the match up. Yao has always been a good match for Tim Duncan, for example, whereas guys like Duncan and Garnett are in the elite...

Given the way the team's playing I doubt it. Even if the Rockets are one and out in the playoffs I think the new coach and the new scheme are...
The Rockets can make the playoffs without Yao. It's an open question as to whether they can win a seven game series playing against the same team...
Sweet :D
Double digit lead?
It's hack-a-mac, lol.
Nobody's got the size to stop Smith except for Deke.
We're seeing the limitations of small ball here.
T-Mac didn't do a great job boxing out.
