How good or bad yao wil do this time against sabonis?

definitely better than last time offensively.
but I think he'll match up against Dale Davis most of time, for he's a starter this time around.

 

yep...but dale davis is very foul prone so maybe he will get a lot of action against sabonis after all.

 

Yao is much too quick and agile for the slow and aging Sabonis.

 

If he can contend Kandi (10pts,4rbs), DD should not be a problem.

 

Yao needs to have a good start-off.
Couple of dunks will do. Then one of them between D and Sabonis will get serious foul trouble.
The key for Rockets and Yao is to get a good start. Otherwise, the ball may not go to Yao's direction that much as we all know.

 

cant this topic go on in the game thread

 

Speaking of foul trouble... Yao seems to be doing a better job of avoiding them now than at the start of the season.

He's clearly learning quick. Although there's a teeny weeny part of me which believes that the refs may be cutting him a little slack after all the early season crap he got in the press. No way to prove it of course. Not trying to be cynical at all coz I'm a big fan of the kid (who isn't nowadays!!!).

 

If he starts and there aren't any plays run for him expect a BAD game! If he gets off to a great start then expect a good game!
