ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 11/16/2007

Yao did beat most of the fronting last year. From one side to another with quick ball movement.

 

shaq would push off a lot, and use his body to separate from the defender illegally.

of course shaq has really soft hands so he can catch just about anything you throw in his direction. yao is the opposite.

I still cannot believe we're having that much trouble lobbing to Yao. Yao literally had like 2 feeds the entire first half

 

Yao CAN catch the lob is there is no backside help. Several times I saw Oberto just fronting with no backside help and still they didn't bother trying to lob.

This year the guards are just not making a concerted effort to feed Yao. I put the blame on Adelman. JVG would have done better. Eventually he figured out how to beat the front.

 

Interesting. when Tmac was on the court Yao was able to catch those lobs.

 

Steven A. Smith raises his voice because he thinks it makes him seem smarter

Bill Walton gave him a pissed-off stare..Haha

 

Like I said when I see him commentate I just want to call ESPN and say " Guys give me my own show and pay me millions...." He is absolutely horrible and he admits on TV all the time that he is a huge Knicks Fan so screw him !

 

Yao has bad hands? What? If the passes DIDN'T HIT THE DEFENDERS FIRST you might have a point.

 

he did? then why does he usually struggle v. the warriors/celts/suns when we play the small teams?

 

That Warriors completely took Yao out of the game. He would have had more of an impact wearing a suit on the bench. There has to be some way to take advantage of this defense.

 

dont see we can get this game away.... SPURS are good tonight and we just dont have enough in the tank to win

 

Flop by Oberto..

 

I can't stand these flops!

 

The officiating of Yao is @#%@ing atrocious. He gets hammered every minute he's in the game and then gets called for the weakest offensive fouls.

 

Our three point defense is pathetic today! JVG is rolling in his grave right now.

 

its like deja vu everytime i see Rafer shoot

 

How can Bowen be so wide open at the corner?

 

play some perimeter D plz!!!! how amny wide open 3 ahve the spur taken?

 

Oberto is a good actor.

 

We need to get Bonzi more involved in this game. Let Yao run the high post and have Bonzi cut.

 

I do not think that Yao is having a good offensive game. But neither do I think that poster Rockzilla has any justification calling him a p***y or such. Read the basis of my reply properly before you jump to any conclusions.

And frankly, Tim Duncan has had a few bad offensive games this season. I don't see anyone calling him a p***y or such. On the other hand, fans on this board happily give all sorts of labels to our players. Don't pollute the board with such rampant negativity please.
