I wish there's a way to ask him but I'm curious to know whether or not that huge block by Okafur changed his game. Everybody except Yao started sloppy both defensively and offensively. The bobcats were trying to steal the game and luckily to me that block woke them up. Did anybody listen to the postgame presscon if somebody asked Tmac about it?
if you REALLY look at it, it's actually a foul on the body but who cares? not really, i think the offense is just sloppy b/c we were trying to force it into yao despite the fronting defenses. tmac discussed that after the game. i think it's OBVIOUS they're still trying to experiment different ways of getting yao the ball and tmac said he's sacrificing some of his offense to do that. it's good in the future b/c we want yao to dominate every team that he can.
i have no problem with teh celtics there. everytime i see their highlights i see the big three lauhging it up on the bench with 7 mins to go in teh game
Here's how I imagine that postgame presscon will sound like: Reporter: What did you think about Okafur's block on you? Tmac: Oh man, you know, I wanted to exert my will early in the game, you know? But Emeka made a great block. He's a great young player. Reporter: So is that why you stopped driving? Tmac: .....Yeah but that doesn't matter 'cause I did it when it counted when I put my will into the game...... Rob Scheider: "You can do it!"
Best part was tmac didnt get all discouraged he got the loose ball back after chuck tipped it and layed it in. okafor had the nasty block but it didnt stop tracy from scoring
Okafor is one of the most underrated players in the league. it's cool that he turned down 12 mil to become a free agent. i think he cares about winning, and should get paid very well too.. i hope he doesn't jinx himself and get injured.
Seems like Okafor is taking a page from Hakeem's book ... blocking with one arm and keeping the guy down with the other arm ... that is such a deadly technique.
It freaking pisses me off how good Okafor has gotten since he became a regular attendee of Dream's big man camp.
well, even if he's healthy, he's still average. he's a guy who'll give u the occasional low post move, but most of his points are garbage/put backs/dunks. he's not a go-to guy i that's what u mean.
if we have him + hayes to face the jazz => can u say total shutdown? yao can just chill and play when boozer is not in the game but other than that, okafor + yao => best defensive frontline if u add hayes too
