For Yao to be successful, they have to grind out games, make it slow, lots of trips to the FT line, no easy baskets. In the Philly game in the first half, although Wafer played well, he fell into the Philly trap by taking quick shots, most them went in, but it allowed Philly to control the tempo of the game -- which eventually led to tiring out Yao. If Houston wants to change their style, which Adelman is trying to do, they've got to trade Yao or at least he won't be as effective.</p>KaiWed, 07 Jan 2009 12:05:23 -0000
