I hope we will move the ball around better so we can get an open shot rather than dump it immediately to Yao every time. He is going to get fronted even before he gets the ball but if the ball is moved around before giving it to him in the low block it may result in a easier shot for him.
What i'm going to love is Tracy's ability to pass off the drive. When he attacks the basket and Yao's defender tries to help when he blows by him, Yao will be open. I think McGrady will really open things up for Yao and vice versa. If McGrady was that dominant with the whole team trying to stop him, imagine what he'd be with 1 on 1 and slight double team help. Remember him dropping 62 on the Wizards this year when they tried to single cover him? I also think Yao is the type of player that works well with others and doesn't have the attitude that a Shaq has that could lead to much tension between them. I think thats why Steve never felt really threatened because thats just the kind of guy Yao seems to be, a true team player. He also can hit the mid range shot well so he won't be clogging up the middle and take away McGrady's drives. DAMN!!! This season needs to start!! And Shut your a$$ Chip!
Not sure what set's they'll use - but they will score more points. Last year's starters averaged 68.9 ppg (Cato-Cat-SF-Yao-JJ) and 177.9 minutes This years starters averaged combined 81.7 ppg last year (using Ward as starter and his career avgs.) and 169.5 minutes That is a very rough indicator - but it is a leading indicator. Rox are going to score a lot more - regardless of sets - probably +05 from 89.8 to 94.8+. They should be in the top 10 in scoring next year.
