Let's talk about Yao's "butter finger" We have to say yao is slower then most of the player and his hand is soft, we all know this. The point is what we should do? What our coach should do, what our guards should do and finally what yao should do. We have to deal with this. What do you guys think. First time I'm a YOF, now I'm a Rox only fan and I love SF too really wish he can make it and I also notice his effort.
Everyone's effort is appreciated, they just don't get along. We don't need a hardworking players, we need smart ones.
As long as he keeps his shot percentage up, it will mollify whatever turnovers he has. It's when a player is bricking and turning the ball over the makes the situation bad.
Another Criticism of "SOFTNESS" leveled @ our one-of-a-kind center! I think Downy(TM) should offer Yao a multi-year deal to peddle thei product!
I do think when yao is fronted, it must have some advantage we can take, our O maybe can adjust to take this. Should yao practice like TD to put his hand always up after he got the ball? Can we shoot some 2s instead of 3s? Can guards hand to hand the ball to yao? Do we need do more practice on guard cut in and then pass to yao. I just feel every time when they cut in, yao always seems think they will layup or pass to others so he just try to get the reb, he need to know maybe it a pass not just layup. what do you guys think?
I thought it was Bart Simpson that had the "Butter Finger". Could a new endorsement be coming up? Bart and Yao, the Butterfinger Boys.........
yao is a great player. He has so many skills and an unbelievable touch with the ball when posting and preparing for his shot. Him and Cato suffer from Butterfingers. In the PHX game Cato could of easily had 4+ baskets if he could only catch the dang ball. He had a number of great passes to him by SF and Cat but he fumbled the ball just about everytime. Most turned into TO's, and a couple caused him to get striped when he should of had a Slam. Yao has had butterfingers, mainly on the rebounding end. He doesn't fumble too many passes. BUT he just tip the ball around a lot when trying to rebound.
I don't think that Yao has "butterfingers" (although Cato definitely does); his hands are actually pretty good. Yao sometimes have trouble catching a ball because its just simply out of his reach. If he needs to move his feet or jump up to get the ball, he usually doesn't get it. Yao's very coordinated for his size, but he's not as flexible as, say a Kevin Garnett or a Tim Duncan, who can reach way out to get the ball. What this means is that tne entry pass to Yao needs to be within his reach, and we all know how diffcult it could be with the Rockets post feeders.
