You guys won't be able to beat the Celtics. I don't mind you hyping up an anticipated game, but you will lose and we all know it. Hate to burst the bubble, but it's just how it goes. Now, if it's a competitive game with a rivalry were W's toss around side to side as much as L's, that's cool. But you guys are nothing compared to the Boston Celtics.

Agreed. Songaila is too small to be effective at denying an entry pass. Yao would just stand under the basket and put his hands up. The guards would lob him the ball and he would dunk it.
Haywood and Blatche will have to get the job done. If we want to try to make Yao work on the perimeter, we should use Blatche. His jumper has been pretty decent lately, and he has a quick enough first step to get around Yao when Yao comes out to challenge. Plus Blatche has the length to front Yao with some degree of effectiveness on defense.
But overall, the responsiblity to defend Yao will fall upon Haywood. Haywood will get the job done. Don't worry. He has successfully neutralized every good low post man he has faced so far. It was Turkaglu that beat us when we played Orlando, not Howard.

They're unfortunately against many teams much less efficient offensively when AD isn't the PG.
I think the Wizards with, for instance, Wilks at PG are better than average defensively.
