Man... anybody else seeing a "new" offensive scheme out there? It seems like all these plays are getting Yao the ball at point-blank range, without being in the low-post. Interesting...
Its unfortunate... but at least these fouls were somewhat legit. He shouldn't be trying to block dunks when he has 1 foul on him in the first quarter anyways.
First foul on Yao was just bad luck. ugly shot bounces to curry, who just runs into him. Second foul was dumb, but he was clearly tired. he picks em up when he's tired.
Actually, they're running a set where T-Mac is getting the ball on the low-post on the baseline... they really haven't run this before. It just so happens that they ended up doubling a couple of times, leaving Yao alone... thus it seemed like it was a set for him (when it was really for T-mac). Regardless... we probably needed to change our sets up a lil, as some teams have probably started game-planning for them since our 8 game win streak.
Mike James is looking pretty decent so far! Give him time and when Sura is coming back , may be we finally are set at the POINT.
I didn't know James can shoot this good. When Sura comes back, the Rox are going to be lethal..............I hope.
Damn... I was just about to post the same thing. I can't find anything anywhere... maybe it was something that T-mac didn't want anybody to know about, and Bill inadvertantly let it slip. I do see a different resolve from T-mac tonight... he's aggressive, passing great, but not showing ANY emotion out there (I know he doesn't show much normally... but its none right now).
What he really shouldn't do is take his eye off the ball, and have a rebound go right by him, then compound it by picking up a foul. I liked the block on the dunk attempt. If that was Tim Duncan, no way they call a foul.
