I watched the game on Sunday when the Rox played at United Center. I never really believed in the offensive sequence that Rudy has used (guards penetration entirely) and it realy showed how ugly it could get on Sunday, even against the Bulls. Even the commentators at the Bulls game couldn't help but mentioned not once, not twice but many times why the Rox wouldn't give the big man more touches ????? Or run offense thru him?? They questioned why the Rox would use Mobley to post up on the right side and total isolation ??? And when the guard put up shots, the big men were in no place to even attempt for rebound ..... This goes on and on..... I have to agree The Rox offense is not fluid, one dimensional. Yao was efficient on Sunday, especially in the 4th, why wouldn't they use him more in the third when they struggled on offense?? MOst of the time when someone put up a shot, Yao was still in the high post, running in to try to get position for rebound ..... TOOOO LATE. your comments ??
I agree. And the problem is people are so defensive of Mobley and Francis because of their stats and will accuse anyone who agrees that Yao should get more touches ( not necessarily shots) of being "Yao Only" fan. I only explain this to you because you are new. I seriously think mobley and Steve run the team, not Rudy T. Or Rudy is clueless as they are. And why was Yao out of the game for the last minute?
Yao out in the last min: I think it's because he's slow on defense - therefore out The play they set, they need someone fast to run to the basket for the tip, Yao wouldve been too slow to complete that task.
Yao doesn't need to run to the basket. They could've have him post down low ( I forgot Rudy doesn't know how to use Yao) like Ralph Sampson. Yao needs to be the focal point of the offense like the Spurs do with Tim Duncan and the Lakers with Shaq nuff said.
