Very simple, JVG is being out coached on this night. JVG game is constructed base on set play. Each player are restricted on a certain area of the court to do what their role are. Such as Yao is always either at the Post or at high to set a pick. That's is his role in all the games we have been playing. The rest of the player are stationed at the perimeter and either shoot a jumper or pass the ball to Yao at the post but it take some hestiation such that the opponent player is always get set behind Yao. TMac on the other hand would try to find open slot to shoot jumper. The percentage of his shot lately is questionable. The play that really puzzle me was when Yao come up to the top to set a pick while TMac shoot a 20 feet jumper, leaving Yao out of position to get offensive rebound. I hate this play totally. Bottom line, his offensive is predictable.
If you watch the game over, you will see set after set where we are firing up jumpers and the only red jersey anywhere near the paint area is Yao. Everyone was standing around the perimeter. We had zero opportunities for offensive boards until the game was over and Chuckie was in the game.
I can barely stomache editing the commercials and stupid in-game ads...much less go thru and disect the plays for a "lowlights" video...and there simply wasnt enough scoring by the Rockets to make a "highlights" video. For this one...the full gmae will be all...and even then Im not expecting big demand unless the link ends up on the PHO board. It will make it easier to keep up with the work required to do the weekend's festivites....like last year, I will do the Rook game, the main events on Sat and the big game on Sun...thankfully the Rockets dont play again till next Wed...so I will have time to get them done b4 then.
agreed, he wants to ignore the real strengths & weaknesses of his own team and ignore those of the opposing team and then try to impose his defensive game plan on a group of players it won;t fit, on both sides of the ball.
crashing the boards is not a term I would ever use about the Rockets. I am going to go cry in my orange juice.
You sir, are a god. Thank you thank you thank you. Looks like I'll be learing that bit torrent thang on Monday.
That may be the part seen on television and referenced earlier in this thread, where they were seen laughing rather than looking all gutkicked.
That works on paper. However, it all depends on situation. When the outside shooters don't shoot well, it's a waste of time keep going into the low post. When you are down 20+, 30+ points, the slow pace of low post game is not apt at getting you back into the game. And putting Yao in the high post isn't just for the jumpers, it's also for off the ball movement, clearing out space, cutting and slashing.
the best way to recover after watching the suns game is to check out [and contribute to] the 'name that phrase' thread in the hangout. it's funny sh*t. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=108927
Nah, it takes too much brain power to process all that shyt. It's Sat. for God sakes, my brains in r****d mode. If only they made pot legal, life would be perfect.
