RE:Yao vs Shaq
Houston does present several matchup problems for the Lakers, but mainly it's defensive deficiencies that have stopped the Lakers from pounding a good team like the Rockets. Francis, Mobley and Yao aren't going to have the nights they had a few days ago during the playoffs at the same time, mostly because they're just not that good and partly because the Lakers defense will naturally improve as the season goes on and Malone comes back.
