ClutchFans Game Thread: Hornets @ Rockets 4/14/2007

His rebounding hasn't picked up post injury. He is not dominating the rebound aspect like he was before his injury.

It's worrisome because if we want to go deep in the playoffs, Yao needs to regain his rebound form prior to his injury.

 

I think this might be the reason for Yao's 2 rebound:

-both team shoot a high %
-Yao let his teammate steal the rebound from him

 

and shouldn't that concern u b/c the jazz's main play is deron's pick and roll.

 

Well with the way Utah is playing, the Blazers can pull it off.

PLAYOFF TICKETS ARE ALL SOLD OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got mine yesterday in the mail for both home games!!!!!!!!!!

 

So you're named Barkley and you think height is related to rebounding prowess?

 

T-Mac had 11 points in the final 5 minutes.

 

Very poor efforts by Yao MIng tonight. Only 2 rebounds? Are you kidding me?

 

Yes, it does. In that post I was only trying to point out that being the tallest on the court doesnt make you the best rebounder. In a earlier post in this same thread, I said both Rafer and Yao sucked at PnR.

 

today, both team shot pretty good so total rebs number dropped and yao need go out to D their center and box his man out, So his reb is not that good. our total rebs 30 and it gives to 9 players.

 

any update on deke? He went to the locker room and didn't come back

 

By priceless i meant in lameness.

 

A great win, but rox's defense on pick and roll was really terrible.
Yao was dragged out of the paint to defend the jumpers, it's not efficient.

 

Uh, Yao was averaging something like 12 Rbs per game in that LA-Utah stretch.

 

You don't understand it because you are a moron.

If you happen to know Shawn bradley, he is 229cm and in his best season he averaged 8 rbs per game.


I do admint Yao is not So good at rebounding. But he does grab 9.2 rbs per game this season.


It doesn't matter to be a moron. It is becoming wrong to show off your peanut-size brain in public.

 

The Hornets don't depend on breakaways and fast breaks for easy baskets. However, they do pick and roll you to death like Phoenix does in the half-court. The Hornet's shooters aren't that great but tonight they were for while. Still, we gave up too many close in baskets because of their schemes and our slowness. Giving up 100+ points is OK when you win, but allowing 54% shooting is not.

I'm glad Devin Brown turned back into Devin Brown and only hit 1 of his last 9 shots.

 

Suns 117
Jazz 90

 

again i don't question yao's effort b/c he's a very hard-worker. we just need to find ways to protect yao (so JVG, now do ur defensive coaching). yao defends very well if he guards a big man straight up in the post. outside of that, he's a very bad defender.

 

I don't know, but now I see why Jake was playing.

 

It will come. i'm certian of this.

 

I know.
