[Charley Rosen] Yao will need supporting cast in playoff run

what a doutchbag...

 

The reason he hasn't had to do this is because Chuck setting the screens accomplishes two things. It clears Chuck's away from the basket *of course that's only after Hayes makes a few of his little layups because they don't gaurd him and it also allows the screens to be set all over the court. Check out how Hayes sets a screen for Mac no matter where he is. That gives Yao a better chance to get the correct angle for Tmac (or Rafer - because Chuck will set them for him as well) to more easily get Yao the ball inside.

There's a reason the starting five work so well together (has anyone checked the lenovo 5 man stats recently?)

 

"In other words, when working mostly straight-up versus the 7-0, 265-pound Nesterovic, Yao was effective, but hardly dominanting."

"His domination occurred only when he was defended by weaklings"

"the tallest player in the NBA had his way against this lightweight trio."

"Yao was slow in loading up his TAJ and the quick-jumping Bosh actually harried him into missing a 10-footer."

"Yao was extremely slow moving north-to-south"

"None of his made shots were especially difficult."


Glowing praise!

 

brace yes! once he is comfortable enough to take it out he will feel much better playing!

 

yes because the dude usually rips apart Yao...

however I think I do remember him stating Yao would win a title or two...

but I sence a shift in his....analysis...maybe the fact that... Yao can now bully his way in to the paint against any team in the league... and make those "easy" shots...he may be thinking the Rox are getting close to putting a team together capable of winning it all...

 

Rosen mustve have lost an office bet or something, forcing to write such a long analysis on Yao!! hahaha
