I have a feeling the China TV stations will block all NBA access and games if this bullsh*t and unfair treatment on Yao isn't changed soon!!!
The rest of our team sucks aside from Yao and T-Mac. Nobody can score, nobody penetrates and finishes aside from Francis. Where's all this motion we are supposed to see and where's the passing? No energy. Pathetic basketball.
I firmly believe coach A has lost control of this team. a team lack of dicipline wont' go anywhere. there is not such thing as a player's coach only winning coach.
We have the players to get a lot of open looks if we just used movement on offense, like the Jazz. They create so many open shots and easy layups by constant movement and we seem to freeze up and settle down the stretch. Thats fine if we are feeding Yao and he is on (ie Suns game) but won't cut it most nights. We make it too easy to defend us. Hopefully RA is working to correct this.
Where was he in the 2nd half. thats my point. nowhere to be seen when we needed him. you can score 50 up to 3 quarters, but if you dissapear in the 4th and ure team losses, whats the point.
The double-teaming of Yao without the ball is basically grabbing, pulling, shoving, etc. Where's the fricking foul???!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!!
We are supposed to have a motion offense with easy backdoor cuts. Don't see a whole lot of that though.
No way. He hasn't lost control of the team this quickly. It took his other teams a while to learn his system. We are expecting too much too quickly. Change comes with some pain.
so Tmac shot 14/30 FG, 5/10 3pt, 7/8 FT, 5reb, 4 ast it's not tmac or yaos fault they lost... RAFER ALSTON SUCKS DONKEY DICK. having rafer/hayes/battier start is death. I WANT Aaron Brooks... please
First of all, screw the refs. Yao can not do anything in the post without getting a foul. Other players hack and tickle his ******* all night long and they don't call anything. And when some nonames bump breezes by Yao Ming, and bang! a foul on Yao. Also, rafer + Hayes + Battier = worst 3 starters offensively in the entire NBA history. OMG I am pissed
Hmmm, let's sum up this game: TMac took a hella lot of shots. I guess he had to, but it felt like one on five, not a team effort. It also felt like TMac was practicing his shooting before the half to get going in the 2nd half. Too fukin late TMac! Yao was fierce in the 1st half, but was again fronted in the 2nd half which took him out of the offense. Time to throw some elbows. Actually, they need to have some penetrators to drive past Yao to the basket if Yao is fronted, since his defender will be in a bad position to help out. Someone needs to learn how throw an entry lob pass. Refs were sacks of crap. BS 2 last fouls on Yao. Yao's double-team foul on Artest was ridiculous, since he was called for a foul doing exactly the same move as Artest. Yao shouldn't have thrown a towel on the ground, but the sharp metal part of the clipboard at the refs. Battier needs to start making some shots. His intangibles are kicking his arse. I hope they tangle around his neck and choke it...jk. He also let some of the Sac players blow by him, causing Yao to pick up fouls. Great intangible. I'm starting to agree with others about the lack of performance by Battier. If Rafer is going to let all of the Sac guards blow by him, then just foul out Yao in the 1st half, because he will always help. Rafer does not try hard enough to get around the pick and roll. I thought we were getting away from the pick and roll, but we were running it for a majority of the 2nd half. We need to get away from the TMac show. Bonzi needs to body up on defense. Surprisingly how poorly he uses his body to defend. Need to take some pointers from Chuck. Just a frustrating loss versus a young, inexperienced team. Lame... I really hope these losses wake up the team and coaching staff.
I agree. TMAC is working so hard with double and triple teams, and our players are being left wide open and they cant hit a thing. the Motion offense is non existent. Every one stands and watches TMAC, Yao to perform magic. Wow it seems it will be a long summer is changes are not made soon
only YAO and TMAC can score,that's the reason why we suck on our offense,it's like 2 vs 5,how can u expect a team like this to win!!!
I can only say you are stupid. We lost because of our defense including TMac on Artest. Yao is the best player in this game.
