Is TMAC passing less to YAO on purpose?

    I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but over the past several games, I have noticed that on pick and rolls and fast breaks, tmac is opted not to pass to yao very often? I thought this was nothing, but then with the recent rumour of tmac having beef with Yao, could tracy really not wanting to pass to Yao as much :confused:

    I would like the answer to be either that chuck is more open than Yao or Yao is double teamed too much. But after seeing easy passes like the one Juwan made to Yao under the basket late in the Lakers game, I'm suprised that doesn't happen more.

    Or maybe Chuck just paid off Tmac too pass to him the most :D

    Bill and Clyde just mentioned a minute ago that everyone is watching Yao and Tracy. But no one is watching Chuck. Chuck is effective and gets open looks, so he passes that way. It's just good play by T-Mac.

    yao only has 29 pts up to this point with this apparent lack of passing by tmac to him...

    if you could take a look at where each of his assists are coming from, like which players, i'm sure that over the last 7-8 games, yao's name wouldn't be at the top.

    McGrady passes the ball to the players who are open. Hayes' man frequently leaves him to double McGrady when he has the ball, leaving Chuck open near the basket.

    T-Mac does NOT have a beef with Yao. They've been good friends ever since T-Mac came here, and they have the upmost respect for each other. Get that through your head. Those rumors were fake.

    You act like he's not passing to Yao when he has his man pinned down. Running the pick and roll is a very different scenario and it's a very difficult pass to make.

    He must have read your post at halftime. He passed the ball to Yao for a 3pter on that last play, just for you.
