i LOVE the offense tonight. the way we run plays for tmac and yao and how our PFs rotate when the double comes to yao (though hayes/scola needs to convert) this is what we'll get when it runs smoothly.
it will get better as the players adjust. arguably our smartest player (shane) said it shoudl take until the all star breat before the offense becomes instinct. by the end of the year they will look pretty damn good. don't let the losing streak fool you.
we will have the lead going into halftime. once both teams go to the bench they will have nothing going.
Did JVG just call Yao a below average shooter? Damn you JVG, that's why you are sitting behind that booth, instead of on the bench.
exactly, some games we don't run the new offense at all b/c our players are too slow to pick it up; some games adelman runs it a lot but then holds back. we just have to wait. i think we'll be REALLY good in 2 months
that was zo on him when he traveled but your point remains valid. still, i'd rather yao takes a shot with a risk of getting blocked than hesitate and travel.
He said that Yao's a below average shooter from beyond 12-15 feet, which isn't that far off the mark.
i think if teams have a traditional center, most of the time, they don't front yao. lakers/utah/heat haven't done that (or when duncan guards him instead of elberto or elson he guards him straight up). gotta pound it.
