Well, considering that the Heat and Rockets are the only two teams with dominate centers, maybe the other 28 teams shouldn't even play.

Re: We need big man
Teams with massive inside presence win championship. As long as there are big men to bang and rebound not necessarily score.

Yao is as DOMINANT as it gets! Not only is he the very best center he was putting up 25/12 after he injures... also he really tries (not like Shaq) and is terror on defense since he is pretty much only guy who is fearless in post and doesn't give a **** weather someone dunks on him or not he just contests everything... he by himself defeated some pretty good teams (when T-Mac was injured) and he will only improve. I agree that he was bit too soft few years back but not now he dunks rebounds and is biggest old school post threat in NBA after Duncan. The fact that he is slow and can't jump/has stammina problems doesn't mean he isn't good... I know that being athletic gets most of fans wood but come one it's not hes fault that hes height limits him

Re: We need big man
I agree generally with your comment. I have to say I never thought Yao could dominate until the end of last year. He was absolutely unstoppable the last 10 games last year before his injury. Until he does that in the playoffs I would just put Shaq in that category, but he is probably the closest any other C can be to dominate in the league.

I think he is garbage since he is actually old, plays soft and isn't upgrate by any means plus he got big contract few years back... I belive he earns something like 10-11 mil a year (though he may be on last year). So I think he sucks and yes hes sallary is huge.

We need some big guys, even if they're on Scot Pollard's level.
