less minutes until the playoffs for Yao (tmac too) he can always do his weight training/ jogging after each game... come playoff time he can play more minutes...
So what if it was Memphis? Have you even looked at their roster? Pau Gasol Rudy Gay Mike Miller Damon Stoudamire Kyle Lowry Juan Carlos Navarro Mike Conley That is a very talented group of basketball players!
Wait...what about the notion that our guys are spent by playoff time? This helps?? The guy plays year-round.
Shaq cruised most of the regular season games and "turn it on" during the playoffs. That's why he was fresh during the playoffs and played so many minutes. Deke should come in once in a while to help Yao stay fresh.
If there was ever a "statement" game that Adelman really needed to make this one was it. After Yao's ejection, subsequent temper tantrum and calling out his teammates, it's no suprise he played 44 min. The Rockets came out with a lot of intensity and Yao was the focal point.
not exactly, his point is not how many minutes YAO can PLAY, it's about how many minutes he can PLAY EFFICIENTLY, if he is less effcient down the stretch which we saw a lot last year, then he would be less dangerous at the 2nd half where we need him most
Why cant we do that against better teams then? Why cant tracy play the whole 2nd half against the mavs? Why cant yao play the whole 2nd half against the suns? We were up 17 with 2 minutes left. Should have taken everybody out then. My concerns were in order in my 1st post. Francis or james shouldve spelled rafer for a while.
Do not know if this is good or not, only seven players were used last night (except james and francis), it looks like a playoff game.
