No. Yao had 2 baskets in early 3rd quarter with fronting. Then they stop passing, AB and Ron began to chuck outside jumps and made Yao to foul trouble..
The entire collapse was all on Yao. He can't beat the front, he can't guard the pick and roll, and he can't out rebound PF's.
should we all just start rooting for the Mavericks now? Yao sucks! trade him! bLAHHHHHHHH! calm down fido. HCA isn't all it's cracked up to be. bunch of fake ass NBA fans that never showed up during the regular season anyway......hmpf. We can beast SA/Portland anywhere. Cheers.
seriously. another weakness exposed. an aggressive and athletic fronting yao. i dont think it was as much as the rockets not getting the ball to yao as it was yao trying to get a comfortable and open position.
Yao is just too easy to stop. Play him physical, front him, or just double team him and he is pretty much rendered useless. Trying to pass him the ball would result in a quick pass out, turnover, or a low shot clock to work with.
