    The Wolves are fronting Yao early and I'm seeing beautiful execution by the Rockets. Hopefully, they can keep it up.

    sure he's got assists already, but we can still complain when he misses great pass opportunities. twice already this game I've seen yao with good position and I'm looking for AB to pass. but he's still only walking the ball up. he's dribbling the ball between his legs with no idea that Yao is already set up to receive the ball and give his team two points.

    those are simply passes of swinging teh ball. i'm talking breaking down a defense and then make a play. i'm fine with him shooting b/c he's a good scorer.

    but that pass to scola was terrible and scola was in great position.

    How the hell has Jefferson Killed Yao? He takes 3 times more shots and shoots a lower percentage, If Yao got half as many attempts as jefferson he could pile up his stats/

    this is a game you have to put on mute, they're amazing homers.

    We aren't going to win too many games if Yao isn't the focal point.Brooks has no idea on how to get Yao the basketball. When Yao doesn't get touches his whole game is effected.

    So, basically, people are just going to look for anything to complain about with Brooks because Alston was traded. :rolleyes:

    Something should pop up below the address tab. I've used this site for a while and haven't had any problems with viruses.

    They have to find something to brag about considering the state of the Timberpups.

    Yao has no chance at touching the baksetball with brooks in the game. Brooks and Yao have no chemistry

    Yao won't rebound or play defense if he isn't involved in the gazme on the offensive end.

    there's very few players in this league who have no weaknesses or extremely minor ones, everyone else has some obvious ones, AB's is his size, which in this case doesn't enable him to zip passes from the top of the key to under the rim because he's not exactly looking OVER the defender, but probably staring at his chest. Take the good with the bad and be glad he's got more good than Rafer.

    Yao is fronted all the time. Why do you wanna force to give him the ball on every possesion?
