MIKE JAMES IS DUE TO HAVE A BAD GAME BUT RAFER WILL PLAY HIS WAY OUT OF THE ROTATION. IF STEVE CAN LEARN TO BE A PASS FIRST, CREATE 2ND, AND SHOOT THIRD HE WOULD FIT THE SYSTEM AWSEOME. DEKE FOR PRESEDENT , HE PROMISES MORE HOSPITALS
Another poor game from Luther Head. I don't think he's had one good game this season. It's not like he's asked to do too much. He couldn't even make a simple entry pass to Yao (not a small target) this game and ended up turning it over. If Head continues to play poorly, his minutes should go to Francis or Snyder.
actually i dont worry much about Yao's stamina. even if he plays 5 less minutes, there would be no problem. i worry more about injuries. if the big guy is down, there would be no proper substitution inside.
I sort of got that impression but kind of shrugged it off when it didn't seem like T-Mac was going at Yi at all. Anyways, Yi looks like he could be a damn good player in the league. If he had work ethic like Yao...that would be scary some sh*t to play against . Better or worse than Bargnani?
The only good game he has had was against Dallas...but even then he had some problems on the defensive end. As much as I like him, I would have to think that at this point Coach A is seriously considering giving his minutes to Stevie. I'd just hate to see Stevie go out there and look like he looked in preseason -- completely lost on the offensive end and overmatched on the defensive end.
i saw that too. he totally locked down Yi after he got that 3pts shot. Maybe he's just little bit scared of T-mac.
Probably better than Bargnani because Yi can actually rebound. Bargnani is soft as Novak when it comes to defense and rebounding.
Words are Yi is a gym rat. The kid took 15 hour flight + 2hour ride to Milwaukee, and went working right away. He was lifting on off-game days, and now is lifting on game days well. He and Barg did match up, and he clearly outplayed Barg. But still, Yi has to a lot to learn. For one thing, he has to develop his low post game. But the kid's future is bright.
Steve Francis should definitely get a chance now, at least be able to show what he can do out there. Mike James looked worse then Rafer tonight.
I'd like to see him develop good handles and a postup game. I really think if he develops his all around potential well, he'll be a better version of Dirk Nowitzki.
I, like the millions of posters here, think that it's time Adelman at least gives Francis a chance at cracking the lineup. You don't have to start the guy, it's evident are seemingly "unlimited" supply of PG are not working out for us. Rafer can't defend or shoot, James is a ballhog, Luther shriveled after he signed his big contract, and we traded away basically everyone else. So here leaves Francis...an ex-All Star with a lot to prove. So let him prove it.....on the court!!!! Oh yeah, Bonzi is going to explode by mid-season. He'll make JVG look like an idiot for sitting him out last season.
Quick question. I'm wondering if anyone knows who is favored more in China between Yao and Yi. This was my first game seeing him play and I was pretty impressed. Obviously, Yao is favored on this board, but in China, is it more split? I'm wondering if Yi has a shot of upsetting KG in the All-Star game like Yao did to Shaq his rookie year?
Yi is way more athletic than Dirk. I took Dirk 3 years or so to start playing like how Yi is playing right now. I like the kid's future in this league if he has 3/4 the work ethic as Yao Ming.
Six continents were represented on the two benches -- Yao and Yi, from Asia; Dikembe Mutombo, from Africa (Zaire); Bogut, from Australia; Dan Gadzuric, from Europe (born in the Netherlands) and Luis Scola, from South America (Argentina), in addition to the 24 North American players on both rosters.-espn website.
Good win. Another step forward in Coach A's team contruction plan. And it's prety clear that something need to happen at the PG position. Besides, I'm a little worried about the post rotation. Yao seems to be the only legit force there. The other 3 are too old,too short and too green respectively. Anyone feel it the same way?
I agree, if Stevie can give us production of 10 points, 4 boards and 5 -6 dimes, I'd be real happy. I cant wait for Wink to get into our rotation, anyways, we're off to a great start (5-1). All we have to do is stay healthy and establish a consistant chemistry as a team.
That's a great game for ROX, I just wonder why I did not see Mutomobo shaking his figure To Bucks, Yao looks exhausted when grabing and dribbling in the end of first half... Yi is great, he will definitely be a star....
