Given the opportunity, Yao will show you the dexterity, the agility, and the hostility!
Moving Yao to the high post should also be part of Plan B. It's not like Yao is utterly useless when he is in the high post. The last game against...
Really it's how Rockets can't transition to Plan B seamlessly when Plan A is rendered ineffective. It's on Adelman foremost, and to less extent,...
A better question perhaps is how many believe Kobe could continue his virtually unstoppable hot shooting like he did in game 2? He sure cooled off...
Two different things. One is to reduce Yao's minutes and manage his playing time better, such as not play him for extended stretches. The other is...
Well, after reading some explanations of the blocking/charging rule via googling, I think I shall reverse my stance on this particular one. But my...
The picture doesn't tell the whole story. Watch the video, you can see Battier was sliding his right foot when Odom jumped in the air, not to...
Much better footage in the youtube video (thanks to bilaal14's thread) than the gif to show Battier was hardly set before he collided with Odom:...
No I am not a particular fan of Yao drawing charges. I think you misunderstood. What I was saying if you compare the two plays, Yao appeared to be...
LOL ... the gif doesn't show Battier was set before he collided with Odom. Nice try, though.
Why trade Brooks if you can utilize him more effectively, for instance by limiting the time he and Yao play together on the court.
You and I must have been watching different plays then. If anything, Yao had a lot more legitimacy in his attempt to draw a charge from Rudy...
Feet set or not, Battier moved his upper body to impede Odom's passage.
^^^ concurred. As great as this victory is, there are quite a few things to reflect on Adelman's coaching philosophy, especially the...
I doubt Brooks is able to develop a knack for initiating contact. That's something you are born with. I do believe he can somewhat improve his...
Horrible call (reputation call?) by NBA ref. Battier clearly wasn't set when Odom drove to the basket.
Grant Hill anyone? Remember Hill's started with an ankle sprain, then it became worse, and then some. Of course Detroit didn't advance at year...
Great video analysis. But it doesn't matter to those Brooks apologists / Yao bashers. (Shall I name names?)
Nothing really matters if the league deliberately turns blind eye on officiating problems.
Not to defend Yao's negative impact in Game 2, but the way you put it Yao's +/- stats would amount to -45. No need to exaggerate.
