He will... if the team starts losing because of it. Right now, we let them do their fronting, and just go the other direction (and exploit it).

When that stops working, and we don't try going back to Yao... and then we lose... THEN I give Yao every right to complain.

Complaining right now would be an indication that a player cares about nothing other than their stats.... and we know where those kind of players end up (in the public's opinion).

Well said. To be fair though, you should also speak out to defend Yao when some idiots complain about his performance by citing his statistics.

That was before this team had any significant "progress" to show from all their (and his) play.

Now, people can see just how easy he can make the game when everybody moves and passes.

You can never ask for that on the road, against a playoff team.

Now, just hope refs don't screw Rockets too much in the 4th quarter.

The Pacers have clearly stepped it up a notch (and why wouldn't they, as they were down 10).

Now, the Rockets have to withstand this charge... and stay composed.

No body here is even arguing about that. It's the lack of attempts in passing to Yao. Didn't you see that play where Yao had his defender completely sealed off under the basket near the end of the 3rd quarter, after a couple of dribbles Sura chose to penetrate rather than making a simple pass. It ended up with Yao backing out to avoid a 3 second, and Sura got fouled with a turnaround jumpshot.

Now we need Yao to stay on the floor and feed him the ball.

JVG has said this is a problem at times... and I'm sure he'll address it.

Hell... he's made adjustments on every other thing we've complained about all year.

We need to stop the dribble penetration. This is bad.
