[Chron] Solomon: Rockets will score more under Adelman

99% of his turnovers are from posting up and getting stripped... so I see a drastic drop in that area particularly when he has fresh legs, and is facing up instead at the top of the key.

And Yao is a pretty decent shooter... just look at his practices, he can practically shoot with his eyes closed.

 

Nice interview. I can actually stand to read a Solomon column when he isn't expressing his views

 

Meh, I would rather he try to shoot his way out of it. He is like the Matt Bullard of this season, and while him shooting from all over may make him harder to defend, removing his three from the game at times could make the team easier to defend. His most important role is stretching the floor and making teams pay for double teams, not being a do everything type of scorer like a poor man's Kobe or T-Mac. Different philosophies I guess. Same thing with Yao in the post. Sure, he can probably be pretty effective in the high post or shooting 18 footers, but I want him down on the block every time, because that is where he is most effective, and that will help the teams offense run because he can draw double teams.
