This to me is another example of poor journalism. Wonders he still gets a paycheck for being a lazy journalist. I bet this dude went to DeVry [my aplogies to other DeVry grads ] I just wish folks like this Chris Palmer would just resort to writing about flowers and gardens.
Damn dude, what's up with the DeVry slam out of the blue? It's not like DeVry even has a liberal arts section...at least when I went there. (I am willing to admit that there were some idiots in my graduating class, but that's true of many fine and not-so-fine institutions) Yeah, it's poor journalism...but even if Sura wasn't hurt, JVG probably would have to change his game plan because of the following factors: 1. Rule changes favoring perimeter play (tight calling on perimeter, loose in paint) 2. Yao not getting foul calls in his favor. 3. Zone rules make feeding the post much more difficult than before. Shaq, Duncan, O'Neal, etc are all experiencing this - no one can dominate solely in the dump it down to the post offense anymore.
