Battier will guard Wade, but then that means Wafer will have to guard Shawn Marion and keep him off the boards. Maybe he can't do that and Adelman will have to switch that matchup. I'd much rather have Battier on Wade than Wafer.
Yao can and should dominate these guys. He did so in November. The Rockets can win this without McGrady and Artest.

We GOTTA win this
If we play the way we played against the Lakers, we should win this.

Is Artest really questionable? I thought the 7-10 day timeframe was for his ankle to get re-examined, not for his return.

Long as Wafer can keep Marion off the boards they will be ok.

^ best new ballboy nick since forever
Is the "1" for his APG/RPG or because there was already a "waferwalston" you had to differentiate yourself from?

Now we just need to figure out which banned poster he is.

DunleavyJr's keys to victory:
1. Limit D-Wade. You've got to put a bigger stronger defender on him. Say, Battier.
2. Clog the middle lane. Yao has to protect the paint. No penetration.
3. Get the damn mothaf**king ball inside to Yao. This must be an inside-out game. Heat do not have anybody to stop Yao, except the 6'8" Haslem.

Yao has to be huge, I'd like to think we can continue the effort we did from the Lakers game, when was that, seems like forever? But all we've shown is inconsistency this season, so I'd expect a loss, since if the game is close, I can't see us winning against Wade in the 4th--but who knows, we need a win desperately, not just for our moral, but to stay in the playoffs.

If Yao doesn't dominate this midget front court, then I don't know what to say... Hopefully we can limit Wade.

Don't expect Yao to have the best game of his career because they are undersized or something , he struggles much more against quickness and fronting than size.
Hopefully we can get a win because we got even tougher games coming up.

If rafer can also replicate his feat of shooting a scorching .400 like last time, we will also win

Get it to Yao. He should dominate. If Battier can harass Wade, we should win.
