    yao is being forced into such bad shots.

    problem is, he can't post up if there's always a double team and our other players can't make them pay for doubling.

    Luther Head in the starting lineup was a mistake. What was Adelman thinking?

    Trade Tmac... not give him away getting nothing in return. (Not that I want to trade him. )

    Also, it's very apparent that this team knows EXACTLY how to defend Yao. When you have Tom Thibodeau as the defensive assistant coach, I'll be very surprised if we score 80 points tonight.
    Also, it seems like Perkins is almost predicting when Yao will shoot the ball. Yao should use his moves and throw a little pump fake and draw the foul. You have to adjust if your opponents stop you at every turn.

    Yao needs to pump fake, Perkins is jumping on everything.

    The game plan is obviously to get Yao established early, but the Celtics are just too good defensively.

    Yes if he does not want to be here he should be gone plus he is known to quit on his team when he wants feels like it.

    Never has Yao been as disappointing, he's the main reason we are going to lose this game.

    When you have Head in the starting line-up, you know there will be a problem.

    He's getting the ball fine. He's just settling for the fadeaway, and low percentage shots.

    Yao has been doubled nearly his entire career... he can still get his shots off... he's just settling for more and more of the fadeaways and top of the key shots rather than jump hooks and power moves.

    And don't get me started how much of a non-factor he is on the defensive end... hell, he's a downright liability at this point.
