Why is their a thread about this, you have to look at the circumstances , Yao 40 AGAINST THE RAPTORS
He was so tired all game though, but Shaq had his first season high against us till the game where Wade got injured agaisnt Washington. Then Dwight Howard had some highs agaisnt us, Brendan Haywood had 22 points, every decent center kills the Raptors, and the really good ones destroy us.
Yao did better this time also because Loren Woods who played him good last time has a broken finger and wasn't playing him nearly as agressive, and also didn't play as much, but the Raptors inside presence is one of the worst. I expect season highs to be set on the Raps every time they play a decent big man.
