Rockets are 26-2 when Yao scores 20 or more points

Yao needs to get more shots.

I like balanced attack. But balanced attack doesn't mean equal shot opportunities. When the guys who shoots in 30s always have more shots than the guys who shots in 50s, it means something is wrong with the offense.

BTW, Wafer passed and got 3 assists in first 4 minutes without putting up one shot, then end up with 7 shots in remaining 9 minutes.

Add Ron in 4th quarter and Brooks, Rox have too many selfish players nowaday.

 

Wow. Being a closer/clutch is mostly mental.

Yao has his fair of shots that he misses that he usually makes.

And, please give me evidence that when Jeff was coaching, Yao was a clutch player.

I remember for sure, against the Lakers (With Stevie) and the Mavs (With Tracy) in the playoffs Yao missed a lot of free throws in the 4th quarter. I can give you evidence for that, if you need it. What happened? Did Jeff not manage the time wisely? Hell no. Jeff is a great coach; Yao just simply choked during those situations.

Stop bashing Rick.

Yao did great, and like you said, we are 27-1 when he scores 20 or more points.

What about when Yao played under Jeff? I am POSITIVE we didn't have that great of a record when Yao scores 20+. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing. Again, stats like these have NOTHING (or VERY limited) to do with the coaches.

Try again.

 

pretty pointless stat.

when Brooks scores 30 or more points, we are 100%.

besides, when we needed Yao to score 20 points vs Lakers or Utah, he just could not.

 

I miss those JVG days....Yao was very active then....

 

Maybe he was more mobile then?

Clearly, the pick and roll is a great example.

Against the Mavs series, the pick and roll between Tracy and Yao was UNSTOPPABLE.

Fast forward to the last several years of the "JVG days" and to the present, that pick and roll just doesn't work as effective. Why? Yao is less athletic and same with Tracy.

 

Of course, when looking at sample size, one trend is based on 30 games, while the other is one game. But who cares about something as triflin' as that?

 

good idea...the article makes sense

but one thing i still have to mention it rox should fix the issue how to pass the ball to yao effictively. nice positon.nice time. yao can't get the score more than 20 if no ball in his hand..

so the result i get is wo should improve the pg postion. .let's start lowye who is the ideal pg i think is the current team better than AB.

From all your posts, it's quite obvious:
Winning has nothing to do with Yao, losing is 100% Yao's fault.

 

The Rockets have actually lost 2 games where Yao has scored 20 or more points haven't they?

 

This season it almost does guarentee. In the matter of fact, 96.3% sure.

So give him the ball!

 

That is a really dense thing to say, my friend. 1-1 and 27-1 are not the same thing.

 

can't agree any more!!
Rick should think about how to feed the ball to Yao.
I hate AB&Ron's senseless limitless dribbling in front of Yao.!!!!!!!

Yep. According to some people, it's better to not let Yao shoot that much or else he might score 20+ and subject the Rockets to a 4% chance of defeat. Actually, I think Adelman believes this too. I don't think Yao's averaged more than 11.5 shots a game since Brooks became a starter.

 

There should be a 2nd one... I don't remember which one. The only reason I'm saying this is because I was playing around with Yao's numbers in Mathematica/SQL Server a few nights ago and noticed the same stat...

I'll see if I can find the 2nd game.
