And that's, ladies and gentlemen, why the guards are terrified of passing to Yao, knowing that he can't seal his man and there's a 50/50 chance it will result in a turnover.
This team desperately needs T-Mac back, plain and simple. Without him you have Ryan Bowen starting. And I don't care how much hustle he gives you, the guy is a liablity on offense. To be fair, Phoenix was collapsing on Yao the whole game, daring Bowen and everyone else to beat them. Well when you don't have T-Mac in the lineup that strategy will probably work. What the team needs is him back and probably a trade for a better skilled backup sf.
I counted 3 separate occasions where he could've gotten the ball. I guess our guards aren't very confident about his ability to hang onto the ball.
CLUTCH!!!!! PLEASE TELL THIS TO THE 32 MEMBERS ON THIS BOARD WHO WORK IN THE FRONT OFFICE FOR THE ROCKETS!!!! ----- TELL THE FREAKIN GUARDS TO PASS YAO THE FREAKING BALL WHEN HE IS OPEN GEEEZ!!!!!! I see guards and Head just STARING at Yao and then looking another way. What is UP WITH THAT?????????
