Looks like YAO still has trouble with fronting defense. Either that or he just can't get open.

he does, he's not quick enough to go for the lob per se like a shaq can. that's why he had trouble vs suns and warriors last yr. that's why moving him to the high post vs these midgets will make him more effective rather than ineffective.

I believe he can. He's got range.

I think that's one of his strengths, the midrange jumper.

Nice, we're doing pretty well with our new offense. Plus, they're playing pretty well without T-Mac. Good signs, good signs!

if rafer can just finish at the rim and makes the 3pt shot like he has so far in the preseason, he'd be PERFECT. unfortunately he's not.

if scola can make that jumper from the ft line, oh my the possibilities

Scola is $$

I get a feeling that the Chinese announcers love Bonzi.

we seriously have so many weapons. if u put james as a starter, we could potentially start out games w/ 25+ pts quarter w/ ease.

You have to keep in mind that Scola has played against Panathinaikos countless times in the last 5-6 years. He probably knows the players who are guarding him better than his current teammates, so it's natural that he'll play very well against a Euro team.

that's not the point. most of his scores have been mid-range jumpers. that's what we're excited about. if he can make that consistently, his man HAS to step out and challenge that, which in turns give yao even more 1-on-1 opportunities. and it won't clog the lanes for tmac.

Agreed but the guy still has a great midrange jumper...I'd take his jumper over Jho anyday.
