I was talking solely on an individual aspect regarding Howard... he got more than just "some" media attention.

are you from florida?

I already stated in another thread a little while back that Yao was better than Howard AT THIS POINT IN HIS CAREER. So this is a , and makes no sense arguing about anymore.

and yao is better than howard as of right now. take his dunk shot away and his offensive repertoire is minimal at best.

he does not have anything else in his offensive repertoire.. he's like a starting pitcher in baseball that can only throw a 102 MPH fastball

Nbafan, Howard is very strong and a physical specimen yes but he does not posses that hook shot or medium range outside jumper that Yao can hit on you. And something else to think about is if its 3 minutes left in a close game and you have to feed it in the post every possession, who would you want getting it? I would say Yao because he has a better post game and if he gets to the line his Fts are automatic.

Does anyone here honestly want Yao on their team with a huge contract only to sit back and wait and see which foot he break first?

He has two more years in him tops. He is falling apart faster than ice on a sidewalk in Nevada.

Lakers haven't lost 2 straight games in this playoff. Am I right? So, I think they will win at least one in Orlando. I hope Orlando to win 3 straight so we can have more games to watch.

Why would the lakers want to make a trip back? Maybe the wont have a choice. Your talking like the lakers are the 95 bulls and can do what they want. Did you see last nights game? Orlando should have won.  Magic should easily take 2 here but i still think they get all 3. However this pg situation MUST improve for them

Ok nba fan ill lean your way in the argument for right now. But do you honestly think yao will have a better CAREER then howard overall? I mean yaos teams havnt done shit in the playoffs and hes been around longer. Howard already has his team in the finals at a younger age.

IMO, they will take 2 of 3 at home.. my guess: Orl wins game 1 (big), LAL wins game 2 (close), Orl wins game 3 (close).

How's about this: Like I stated before, Orlando could get swept and I'm definitely more confident in that now. As the game played last night, all you hear is lewis from 3, blah from 3, all this fucking pathetic team does is shoot 3's. They are not winning but maybe 1 at home only cause Lakers will want to close at home. That's about all the credit I am going to give them. Sorry like someone stated previously, when Reddick is getting 30 minutes of playing time You are in trouble and the Magic my friends, are in deep trouble...Series over with. This isn't even a series and never was a series.

You call this team pathetic? So whos not considered pathetic seeing that this is the finals? The lakers are the only legit team in the nba? Maybe your pistons or whatever team you like is pathetic. So whos your team?

Im talking about Orlando winning one not lakers you schmuck....Series will end Lakers 4-0 more than likely, but if not they will win it in 5..I dont see game 6 or 7 popping up. Don't get your panties in a bunch bro..Good luck on Orlando winning 3 straight at home...yeah right if they shoot like 70% from downtown...And yes Pistons do suck this year, bad trade by Dumars

asking for 3 in a row against a laker team that does not even lose 2 in a row is a bit of a stretch if you ask me
