And a Good job to go with it. Beyond the fact that the Rox were admittedly on fire, and hitting everything. Beyond everything going their way. Beyond all of the hustle and good team play that lead to an easy win. I want to say good job. I saw some wonderful set plays that game. Best part was the Rox implemented a game plan..........and stuck with it. I like how you used your rotation. I really like seeing Mo T and EG on the floor together. I thought it countered KG very well for the moment. Id still like to see less of Mobes, and lots less of Mooch, but the rotation of players coinceded with the flow of the game and how they were playing for the most part. All I have to say is that when some new exciting plays were being presented it seemed as if the players reacted well to it. I realize that they aren't going to be on fire like that all the time, but it cant hurt the team to continue to progress. Anyhow in lieu of all my b****ing about you.....kudos. For tonight at least.
Very classy, Dreamshake. I was especially glad to see Francis and Mobley looking for Ming more on the high pick and rolls where Yao rolls to the basket. Half the time on those plays, if you just lob the ball up to Ming, he will get it and have an easy, close in shot. It always bothered me that Francis and Mobley didn't seem to make an effort to get the ball to Yao in those situations. This team could be so good if they just played with a little bit of control and direction. Here's to hoping for more games like tonight.
As Rudy said in his radio hour, good shooting will make your team look really good. Cheers to that!!!!
You know what I noticed in tonight's game though -- Yao Ming got the ball about 75% of the trips down the floor. They were getting it to him every single time it seemed. He's kick it back out and they'd do something off of that. The team did a great job of getting him the ball and then running plays off of his lead. And when he didn't get the ball, he was such a threat just in getting the ball that it opened up lanes and open jumpers for people.
