Yao 6 shots in the half? That's not going to win many games. Adelman and the guards need to do a much, much better job of getting Yao the ball on the LOW POST.

The double teams have created wide open threes, which is a hell of a lot better than any other shots we have gotten.

 

I think Stackhouse and Terry really hurted us in the 1st half. They were simply makin' every shoot. We need to work at it cause they cannot have that easy jumpers

 

i'll be able to answer that question after the game.

as long as we win, i don't care who scores.

if we lose, it's possible that yao should be given the ball in the low post more. of course, just to play devils advocate, we haven't been beating the championship level teams with yao in the low post before. might as well try something new.

 

i dont think he's a bad shooter from mid-range. he is very streaky as a 3 point shooter, but pretty consistent from within 15 feet.

 

Bleh, we shoot too many three anyway. I know their open but i don't think we need to be shootin 21+ threes anymore. I said earlier this season that 15-20 threes should be tha target.

We need to take advantage of our athletism and go tot ha rack. IF anything i def want TMac to stop takin so amny threes. In his career he averages like 5 a game. Hopefully this year that drops to three at most.

 

Not true. I saw at least 4 or 5 times when he passed up a shot to pass it, trying to get a better look. He's 2-4. The only shot he's really forces was the pullup jumper on the break that he made.

We only beat them at TOs but we still have lead, amazing.

JHO is our undercover agent for the Mavs Every time JHo covers Yao, he just let's him get to the basket at will.

Pre-game talk:

Yao: Hey J, you lettin' me through today?

JHo: Fo Sho man, any time baby. Any time you want it, just holla. And I'll even through in a foul just in case you couldn't make the basket.

Yao: It's payback man. Pay back for all these years of suffering. And now we finally got one of our own in that team

 

Especially consistent with the floaters.

Those floaters are like $$ in Trump's wallet.

You can always count on em being there.

 

yao got like 15 touches in the low post but was forced to pass out to 3 point shooter because of the double team.

 

It seems our bench is still less than Mavs' and Spurs'.

 

rafer is like 25% with the floater/teardrop.

 

Now the 2nd half gets on the way. We need to be carefull cause we used to suck against Dallas in 2nd halfs.

 

oh man stack and jet is too much for us

 

Which were open uncontested shots, thats a good thing.

 

Hush! I said he is consistent with the floaters!

Rafer haters never stop.....

 

in the first quarter we had many steals and fast break points, so those were possessions Yao wasnt involved at all and I dont think that was a problem

 

Just a bad night for the benches.

 

just turned the TV on, its only half time and TMAC already had 17 shots wtf?
