    Why does Yao have ZERO shot attempts?

    Ming isn't getting any shots because they are doubleing down on him everytime we think about passing him the ball. A couple of times the fronted him with 3 guys. Whoever is on Posey doubles down, because they know he can't shoot. Get used to this guys, because we are going to see this D for the rest of the year. That is the problem having a guy who shoots 33 percent in the starting lineup.

    SF cannot win the game on his own, since he hogs the ball, scores a ton, and still loses the game.

    Yao seems a bit slow tonight. Celtics's plan on defending him r has worked so far; they concentrated on Yao and did not mind giving Posey and EG open shots, but they can't knock the shots down.

    It is gonna to be a hard battle even we can have our inside game going. But we need to pass the ball and play smart.

    The return of the Franchise and Mobes Show signals the rebirth of Dribble Mania. This type of street Basketball is just the pits to watch, especially while yao Ming our Center is cut out of the active Game! Rudy T we need a big change in the second half!!

    Francis and Mobley shoot well today. The most important thing is to win the game.
    If they continue to shoot like this in the second half, it 's ok that Yao take some rest in this game

    "There is no bigger target on a pick-and-roll play than Yao Ming, and if you don't utilize him, you're a dumb basketball team." Heinsohn was right.

    The Celtics learned from their last game and made the neccessary adjustments. They maximize Battie's strength and look how many easy points he got so far, the Rockets are still clueless about what to do with Yao.

    don't just look at the stats. sf is playing recklessly and selfishly. he's not getting any of his teammates involved, especially not his "brother" Yao.

    It seems the team work is just not that smooth while Steve is on court. It is kind of bad since this feeling is caused from a franchise
    player. Well, anybody think so?

    I think SF does not care as long as he scores a ton for himself. Good thing that Mike Bibby was traded to the Grizzlies.

    I don't get to watch or listen to the game being here in Maryland, but from reading your posts on this 4 th page I thought we would be 20 points down, went to NBA.com and its 54-50, is it that were even lucky to be this close considering how bad everyone is saying Francis is playing?

    beyao,

    You don't know what the s*** you're talking about.

    He dribbled into 4 defenders:rolleyes: :confused:

    The Stevie and Cat show won't take this team to the promised land.

    However, at least Yao hasn't missed one single FG attempt.

    D R

    Why doesn't RT let Rice play with Ming more when they do this? I mean I know Rice sucks on the defensive end, but Posey isn't exactly shutting down Walker either. One more question, why is Posey just camping along the 3 point line and not moving? This makes it alot easier for them to double team the post entrance pass.
