Yao and Alexander could communicate plays and defensive assignments in mandarin, while the opponent tries to figure out what they just said.
How does Posey offer more in offense than Battier?? If Scola can average 15 per game (since Mings injury) in his rookie season, then does he qualify as a full scorer? 0.75? For the record, we were a better team than Utah (we got 55 wins and homecourt against them) There was a 7'6 reason that we didn't beat them in the first round
I'm sure someone has already said so, but just in case: Shane Battier is a huge part of what makes our defense so great. Sure his one on one D isn't the greatest, but it isn't below average at all. He plays great D on other perimeter players and his positioning on his one on one defense allows him to also be able to help efficiently. I'm not saying Shane is untouchable, but just know that if you lose Shane the defense will drop a couple of levels. He isn't just a hustle player, there is a reason he came 3rd in DPoY
