Which team would win?

Rockets in 5 games. No one on Toronto is fit to guard Yao.

Is this even a question? Andrew Bynum.

I think the Rockets would win in no more than 5 games.

Rockets. Yao would be unstoppable.

I could see the "Boozer" effect happening. No one on the Rockets can guard Bosh, and they got pretty efficient scorers, not to mention they're the best 3 point shooting team in the league.

Yeah but Bosh is outweighed by the horrible things Yao would do to our frontline with Bargnani or Rasho or Bosh himself guarding him, so that point is neutralized. Now account for T-Mac, end series.

Rockets, their defense gives them the win. Not to mention the Raptors have bad D.

Of T-Mac gets the ball too much and looks disinterested in attacking the rim while chucking lame jumpers (as he did when he came over to Toronto), Toronto would win easily.

If Yao gets his touches and beasts like the beastly beast of a beastly man beast he is, Houston wins. (what happened when Toronto went to Houston.)

The Raps. McGrady led teams can't win a playoff series.

Rockets in a sweep.

That's actually a pretty good argument, lol.

Come on, the Raptors will still lose...

Rockets just got Gerald Green

With the exception of one stellar game, Yao has not destroyed the Raps...his averages (leaving out his rookie season) are 23.6/11 with 1.7 blocks and an eye-opening 4.9 turnovers a game in seven contests (4-3 in that span).

In the three games over the last calendar year (against Toronto's current roster), it's 21/9.7 with 2 blocks and 4.7 turnovers (2-1).

I would probably pick Houston in a long series, but Yao has hardly been a dominating force against the Raptors...recently, we've held him below his seasonal averages, and generated more turnovers to boot.

I'd like to say Rockets but my gut says Raptors in OT in game 7.

Say what you want, the Raptors got beaten by a very weak Nets team last season. A team that is in the process of getting dismantled.

The Raptors aren't built for the offs.
