Why Yao setting screens = waste of time

    I agree with your post. The problem is with the guards not cutting close enough to Yao. However, I disagree that the "moving screen" call gets called with regularity in the NBA. In the last dozen games on TV (not just the rockets) not once have I seen a moving screen call. A lot of times I see the player setting the screen use his momentum to cause an inadvertent moving screen, complete with holding and/or pushing off with their arms to make sure the defender gets "caught up" in the screen. Not a single call. Yao does the textbook screen of arms locked inward, elbows out, but most of the other screeners in the nba outstretch their arms at some point during the contact.

    If you actually READ my post it would be obviously it was supposed to say "IF i'm a troll."

    Read my sig then read his posts. It's obvious I control him.
