Yao Ming: Let's Hope VSpan Will Have His Change of Fortune

It's really a sad state of the mind, but the rush to defend JVG by his apologists shows they are pretty much content with another playoff also-ran following the decade-long mediocrity by the Rockets.

 

yeah, he's done an awful job this season. I mean, our roster is as loaded as Phx and Dallas isn't it??? We've been healthy all season, haven't we???

when he gives me a real reason to want him fired, then I will be all for it

 

There you go again. As you define it, what exactly is a "JVG apologist"?

Who in the forum is "pretty much content with another playoff also-ran following the decade-long mediocrity by the Rockets"? Nobody

You are creating a straw man and talking to yourself.

 

"wnes, wnes, wnes. What's up, dawg? Having fun out there? Okay, listen... Dude, I just wasn't feeling the anti-JVG troll shtick tonight. It definitely wasn't your best performance. Y'know, it was just okay for me. You've really gotta come back next week and step up your game."

 

I don't think it's a stretch to say that Yao is implying he hopes JVG is fired. The only way vspan's luck would change, would be for JVG to be fired, since JVG will never make him part of the regular rotation. Yao is such an insightful guy.

 

VSpan is the difference between championship and playoff also-ran?????

Christ, I wonder we didn't hear any team coming hard after him before the trade deadline.

 

Pryuen,

Thank you for an insightful post on Yao's view of his American and Chinese coaches. That's interesting the he favors a stern coach over a player's coach. I always figured he would favor RudyT's mentoring style over JVG's disclipinarian style.

 

Statistically, you would be wrong. Abberrations, when totals are low, affect the averages wildly. It's basic mathematics.

Again. No. Unless you are telling me every player you are analyzing is driving against the same talent. I'm willing to bet it's easier for Luther Head and Rafer Alston (yes, really) make layups against a scrub team than it is agains the first teams they usually play against. Otherwise, we could always point back to (pardon me here) Dang Langhi's summer league numbers and say they can transfer to the first team. The reality is .... not bloody likely.

 

I'm not suprised. Hard-working committed players have reason to prefer hard-working discplinarian coaches both due to similar work ethic and the coach's ability to bring everyone up near their own standard of work.

It probably frustrate the hell out of someone like Yao if his coach lets other players get away with ****ty work ethics and ruins his chance of winning.

 

Nice to know. But then that's why Yao can suck so bad initially when he came to the league and become a force in this league in such a short time. He does as he is asked and improves where it's needed. He accepts he isn't the coach, it isn't his offense, and he needs to adapt at least a little to the changes he was presented. The results have been great so far. Barring injury, he's going to be ridiculously good in a couple of years.

 

DoD, you've got it all wrong. What V-Mac supporters were saying earlier in the season was his numbers were down because he was playing with lesser players. In other words, he would do better thrown in during the most competitive parts of games when opposing players are much better. Of course, this makes no sense to anyone but them.

 

Naturally, inquiring minds want to know, who may be the next disgraced head coach of the team in which Yao has played?

apostolic3, you wanna take a guess?

 

wow, pryuen's story about Yao Ming and Wang Fei just increased my mancrush on Yao Ming by tenfold

 

You actually posted something funny for a change.

 

I have it from a very very very reliable source on this matter that those were Colin Pine's picks.

that and the fact they were in Colin's handwriting is the other giveaway.

 

Yeah, blame his teammates for the majority of his TOs . You got it backwards, its more like most of his TOs come from bad passes and bad decision making. Probably like 1-5% are at the fault of the other player.
