Yup, that is really his only weakness, he is a very good offensive boost off the bench, but he just dribbles too much and gets lost as to what he should do with it, he can't pass at all, and then he panics and puts up a shot, which granted he make sometimes. But MJ's offensive/defensive show right now makes me forgive him for his shortfalls. HE just made a spectacular move right now too.
Its been said and documented many many times that shorter guys have leverage against taller people, so its easier for them to push the big guys out of position. Doesnt everyone know this by now??
SHI*! We are NOT defending the 2s AGAIN! They just made two threes in a row to get back into it...AGAIN! As I said: the Lakers will live or die by the threes, Rox were doing well a while ago, and now they are back to giving the Lakers wide open shots again. Come one Rox, keep your defensive pressure on.
we know it but what part of its all mental with yao dont you understand. it doesnt matter who plays against him when he wants to dominate and take over he does it. brian grant is playing on worn out tires right now he should not have a chance against yao.
I'm sorry, but for such a supposedly good defensive team, our perimeter defense is just atrocious. I don't know how many times in the last few weeks I've seen the opposing team kick the ball out to a wide open shooter, while our defenders look like they don't believe they're really going to shoot it. That's one of the biggest things that's bothered me for a long time.
damn Yaos completely disappeared opn both ends of the floor. cmon man, you're 7'6, show up somewhere on the gamelog
He hasn't played for sometime now, Deke is doing well, so I guess JVG left him in. I am sure Yao will show up any minute now though, hope he got his rest that he needed. Come on Yao, carry us big man!
bah, I missed it where he got taken out of the game. I'm at work, cant get on IRC either or I would be there b****ing about it
Boy leverage is the killer and stopper of potential NBA superstar centers eh? Well shucks I guess if I was 5'5 and 260lbs then i can easily push Shaq out of the paint and stop the guy in his tracks from getting good position. Leverage plays a small part but yao has other issues.
MAN! MJ is SUPER Quick! I have never seen a PG as quick as him! DAMN! He just dribbled in a weird, crazy fashion on that fastbreak. Did you guys see that? R2K? Can you have that one in the highlights? Freakish!
