they're not doubling yao that much. they're playing zone. so have tmac move. tmac is being used where he's easy to double right now. he has to be on the move like he was in the first 2 games where it's tough to double him. right now, it's easy to focus on tmac. he has to utilize tmac and yao at the same time.
Maybe he's trying to lessen the burden for T-mac. Those blisters seem to be bothering him and he doesn't look as aggressive off the dribble.
the times he drove, he beat his man w/ ease so that's not an issue. i'm just wondering where is the movement for tmac, the post ups... that makes it tougher to double tmac. but bonzi is a beast ONCE AGAIN. dude's rebounding skills are unbelievable.
Yao got it going at the end of the second quarter. Must have been trying too hard since the game is being viewed in China. As for Rafer will he is still Rafer. Will the second half bring out the We want Steve chants?
"Maybe he's trying to lessen the burden for T-mac. Those blisters seem to be bothering him and he doesn't look as aggressive off the dribble." I agree, he was taking alot of jumpers early and they were going in ^_^. Rest that foot for tougher competition.
like i said, play rafer in the last 3-4 mins if the opponent pressure us defensively. other than that, bench his arse. useless shooter. he's getting his assists off of tmac and yao anyways by just handing them the ball
its early in the season. if RA wants to run plays for t-mac, he can run them at some point further into the season. There is a lot more refining to do in Yao's game then then there is tmac's. Yao is still only in his second year being the primary option where as t-mac is used to it.
point taken. that may be true. that's a great explanation. maybe adelman wants to establish yao since tmac showed he can get his anytime. but still, when yao is not in the game w/ tmac, PLEASE RUN A PLAY FOR TMAC.
I agree. Bonzi is a beast. If the Bucks insist on playing a zone, we need James/Head there, because we need shooters to spread the floor. Battier is playing good defense, but Redd is just too good. Hopefully we can slow him down a bit. Mo williams and Villenuava are helping us by laying bricks along with Rafer.
I'm not worried about Tmac, he learned the offense pretty quick. I think he just needs to get rid of those blisters on his foot. I'm really liking Bonzi's game so far.
