When you go to the court and get a good post position and the guards won't pass you ball, you will feel bad and become pathetic. You will be wandering what I did wrong? You feel like you a fool and useless. That's exactly what Yao is experiencing. I don't see any future for Yao to stay in Rockets because he will never get enough pass to score more than 10. I'd rather see him play for the Nets. Let him go.
We are not playing very well letting Francis and Mobley run the show, I'm all for posting Griffin and Ming and Taylor when he returns. i'm tired of the one on one heaveathon play of our gaurds and I'll admit Ming has been calling for the ball on the blocks only to have the ball thrown around the perimeter for a gaurd ISO on the other side. But as far as some of your no matter what style of defending Yao, your boy has looked very bad so far his lack of basketball knowledge is what kills me.
Yao Ming's problem isn't that he's not getting the ball when in the post. His problem is that he's not doing enough to contribute elsewhere. The shots will come. Even if all he does is pick up offensive rebounds, the shots *will* come. His problem is on defense. He didn't stop Jerome James a single time last time: either a foul, or a made basket for James. That's his biggest waekness right now, and the one thing that will keep him from getting playing time. It's not Rudy T. that's keeping Yao Ming off the court, it's Yao Ming. I'm a little embarassed by some of these Chinese fans. I'm Chinese myself, but let's keep a little perspective in mind on Yao Ming and the Rockets. The Rockets are not built around the principle of making Yao Ming as good as possible. They *want* Yao Ming to be as good as possible, but winning games is their ultimate priority... and that's something everyone (including Yao Ming) must respect.
Even if you have a little ABC about business, you will know NBA is all about money, not for fun.It is that simple. Having said that, you DO need to make YAO good simply because Huge market is behind him. Rocket should start to rethink their strategy. They should take advantage his strength rather than exposing his weakness at this point because everyone has weakness. It is wise to use him more on offense.
