Uhh... this is the story of Yao's career. If he had found a way to do this consistently, he'd be averaging 40 points a night. If he gets position, he can't keep it... and his teammates can't get him the ball deep when he's being fronted on one end, and getting a backup double-team from the other. If we don't hit open shots (which we've been getting tonight), we won't win.
We can complain about our offense all we want... if the Suns continue to shoot like this, and score 30 points a quarter, it won't mean anything.
Thats why he is the undisputed MVP of the league. he is one player who truly makes a bunch of scrubs look good.
I don't know, maybe. I don't know why I'd be banned. I'm sure I'm not, but man. Sucks to not be in there.
Yao only scored 8pts in the last game against the Suns. They know how to guard him. With their quick double team they are making Yao a non factor.
Like that game against the Lakers, THE OTHER TEAM IS THE ONE PLAYING THE BACK END OF A BACK TO BACK and yet we're getting murdered. We need that intensity, defense, hustle, T-Mac looks a lot better out there tonight, but we need more. LET'S WIN THIS ONE.
Whoever's man is doubling down on yao needs to follow him into the lane, that will draw the week side defender then open up a shooter on the weak side, or give the man cutting into the lane a layup. Most importantly though, the D needs to improve, limiting penetration is the key.
We are not giving them any defensive pressure at all.... we need to play dirty on them..hack them.. hurt them.. trash talk them.. foul them... mess up their rhythm...
Give Yao the ball in motion!!!! a la rudy. You can't give Yao ball stationary, Suns are too quick to double team for that. Rockets and JVG are not prepared for this game.
