It's just a beginning for all the Yao bashing Wait until we play against GS. Yao was totally shut down in the most recent game, while Head scored 30 points in that game. I was shocked by GS the way they defend Yao. The stats I expects from Yao: 20 min. 15 pt., 6 boards and 5 TO's per game in the series against GS
Christ... let's wait til the Rockets actually make it to the matchup with GS first, perhaps? I wonder if Utah fans are making threads about anticipated Boozer or Okur bashing in a matchup vs GS yet.
If those are his stats he should get ripped. The NBA has structure and if Yao and the Rockets can't will thier style on Golden State he will/should be the first to get blamed. This being said by spreading the floor even if they double or front Yao they can move him around the free throw line and find ways to get him the ball then it's up to Yao to turn and make shots over smaller defenders.
Check his historical stat against Warriors before you post. When Tmac is not in the lineup like last time, Yao will be denied the ball most of time. When Tmac and Yao are both on the court, it would be much better than the last game against Warriors. Don't jump to conclusion too soon, Mr. Rookie.
I second you, and let me just add we have no chance against GS even if we did win game 7. The way GS is shooting the ball? Anything they throw up is going in. IMHO, if they can keep up they can have a serious run to win it all. The scary part of GS is that everyone on that team can pull up and shoot 3's as well as finish around the rim. To certain degree they are more complete than the Suns - you've got Baron Davis who is stronger than Nash and drives better and shoots just as well. Then you've got Jackson who has more range than Amare and more active on D. Plus M. Ellis who is just as fast as Babosa, and Matt Barns who is far more atheletic than Diaw. Man I'd love to see they meet in the conference finals.
