It will be interesting to see Yi against Chuck. So far he has been doing fine with skinny PF such as Chris Bosh or Andrew Bargnani. I believe Chuck will give him trouble.
If Yao puts Bogut in foul trouble we may see Yi guarding Yao yet. And Yi has the physical quickness and length to bother TMac. He probably won't start the game guarding him, but we may see a few possessions of that as well.
what is the big hype about yao vs yi? not only do they play diff positions but they have an extreme difference in experience level. if both sides are lucky we'll see yao get 20+ and 15 rebs and what from yi? 10 and 5?
You are not going to see it in the bar since it is only on NBALP. Are you visiting NYC? Do you know Newport (Jersey City)? You are welcome to come over watching with us.
Rox have to take care of the "easy" wins. Don't take it easy and get lazzy. Take it to them hard and early... And don't stop tell the game is over.
Third game I'll be at so far this season.....right now 2-0...let's make it 3-0! I think this game is closer than people think.....Bucks haven't looked half bad. Rockets : 94 Bucks : 89
Those are great numbers and I hope it will happen something like that. We need both of our starts to have a great game.
I think it'll be a closer game than everybody has anticipated. Especially if TMac is going at Michael Redd for a shooting match. The key is which team executes the team play better. Yao vs Bogut: With a well-rested and muscled-up Bogut, Yao probably will miss most of his early shots (until the 2nd half). TMac vs Redd: One is going hot, the other one doesn't. I just don't know which one does. Volume shooters match up. Hays vs Yi: Hays has stronger body and is more experienced in rebounding. Yi will register more blockshots than rebounds. Bench vs bench: Adv-> Rox
Yao will get double teamed. Bogut and Yi are going to defend him. Hayes, bless his soul, does not warrant a defender, especially more so the Bucks's best defender, Yi. This should be a game for Scola to make a statement. He will not be facing a top power forward; he must write himself into the books. Defend Yi well, take advantage of the double team on Yao, crash the boards, do everything. This is his opportunity to develop.
Man, I HOPE they put Yi on Mac. McGrady would school him all night long... That said, Yao is gonna kill Andrew "Bling-Bling" Bogut...Rockets win (no letdown!!!) 110-93
