I thought it was team effort on both sides.

I dont remember saying that. And before I made my post, I did do a statistical analysis of the two players since Christmas. Yao's stats have gotten better since Christmas while Dwight's have gotten worse. Yao has been scoring nearly 4 points more per game than Dwight with a higher TS%. The gap in their PER for the season has continued to shrink as the season has drug on and Dwight and the Magic have struggled. Additionally, much of the Rockets success since Christmas has come without McGrady so I think it is fair to attribute most of it to Yao and Adelman adjusting to each other.
