there is something seriously wrong. Yao is spending half of the time around 3-point arc, on both ends! Is this by design? A sure way to wear him down fast!
Good start from Yao offensively atleast. The downside is Nesterovic is I believe matching him in points, and tearing offensive boards away from him.
Sloppy passing from the Rockets. I like their hustle but again they're not playing smart with the basketball. I swear we must have over 5 TOs from all the bad passes and forced shots we've taken.
too many TO's! SF lost footing twice already. Even worse is SF's dribbling doesn't even command any help on D. The PnR between Yao and SF rarely does anything. So stop setting the picks, Yao! Insert yourself in the middle. When you play with MJ, maybe it is worth of setting picks once a while.
It's how the Rockets win games as well, except the Spurs are better at it. Duncan's really taking it to our guys, as well as Nesterovic. Francis isn't just missing. He's missing badly. One airball, and another that went over the rim and just hit the backboard. Seems like his shooting touch has dissapeared again.
With the shooters bricking everything, Popavich is telling the guards to cheat over to help out on Yao. Shooters better start hitting the shots to spread the floor.
Duncan is dominating right now... controlling the game both offensively and defensively. Yao can't post him up... neither can Mo-T. Only solution... make him tired.
