    It's not Yao, it's Adelman expecting Yao to suddenly cover these guys.

    Of course, but when those two are missing shots, they don't do anything else.

    Just like right now, Brooks can't control the tempo of this game.

    It infuriates me watching Toronto play so freaking soft and take the lead. I am so glad we don't have a team like that, win or lose.

    Watching their "big men" hover around the perimeter and shy from contact is an absolute joke.

    Bench Yao pls, he's making bargnani look like a future hall of famer.

    lol the raptors are strictly a jump shooting team, no penetration whatsoever. no wonder theyre bottom of the table.

    basically when all 10 starters or are on the floor, bargnani and bosh are not allowed to miss a jumper. you can't tell me they can't get these looks against other PF/C's. bargnani's last 3 yao was right on him, swish. they got 9 straight points out of bargnani passes or shots.

    and bosh is rolling again. meanwhile, battier is bricking, we aren't going to yao, and everyone else sucks. no more starters at the same time.

    Yeah, that was quite then maddening call. at least call when he's still in the paint...not when he's out already. stupid.

    J. Calderon 12 assists - brooks 1

    Even if Lowry is the better option this team is fixated at playing Brooks just so we don't hurt his confidence even when we lose.

    Sigh

    yao has to guard somebody. or else we have to play a terrible zone.

    I have the switch will turn on .....eventually like it did earlier. But Yao was not really "guarding" Barg. He was giving him ALOT of space.. and all barg needed to do is give the slightest hesitation and he had all day to shoot it. As soon as Landry comes in thing will settle down I hope.

    what do you expect from a late first round pick who barely played in his rookie year that gets thrust into the starting lineup half way through his second season?

    he's not a vet leader. lets keep our expectations realistic. both he and lowry will have growing pains.

    At least our 4th quarter swoon is coming in the 3rd. It'll give us a chance to recover.
