Yao is still better than Dwight this year

Sorry Orlando fans, Yao is still the best center in the league this year. I do expect Dwight to surpass Yao as the best center within the next 3 years, but I'm sorry, it's not to be this year:

Dec 19th:

Dwight Howard: 7-13 FGs, 21 points, 11 rebounds, 0 assist, 1 TO, 0 ST, 3 BS
Yao Ming: 7-18 FGs, 19 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assist, 3 TO, 2 ST, 3 BS

TMac had to leave the 2nd half of the game on Dec 19th. You can guess how many players Orlando put on Yao thereafter (Rashard Lewis played throughout the game).

January 4th:

Dwight Howard: 5-11 FGs, 16 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 TO, 3 ST, 1 BS
Yao Ming: 10-18 FGs, 26 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 TO, 0 ST, 0 BS

TMac was missing from the January 4th game while Orlando had Rashard Lewis. Yao managed that stat line in the January 4th game while being constantly double teamed by Orlando.
