One good rebounding performance and all the Yao rebound-bashing threads disappear?

As a resident Yao basher, you have been bashing him for his lack of stamina, athletism, quickness, leaping ability, and every other attributes that you could come up with. But now you say he doesn't rebound because of his effort. So the only positive attribute of Yao in yours eyes is his 7'6" and 310lbs frame. Are you telling us that if Yao gives full efforts all the time, he should averages 15 rebs a games simply because of his massive frame when he has no stamina, athletism, quickness, leaping ability at all?

The way you have been contradicting yourself is not even funny.

 

Wow are are pretty stupid to come to conclusion on that game 7 against Utah. Did you know the reason we lost because of the supporting players?

Why fighting for a rebound when you hae 3 rockets under the basket? Stealing and grabbing a meaningless away from your teammates doesn't mean a thing. Howard probably stolen 4 rebounds from his teammates when they could've gotten it themselves.

 

Oh, I forgot you have bashed him for having the stone hands, low basketball IQ, being indecisive.

So according to leebigez, anyone with a 7'6" and 310lbs frame with full effort should average 15 rebs in the NBA even if he has the shortcomings of poor stamina, poor athletism, poor quickness, poor leaping ability, having stone hands, being a slow decision maker, having low basketball IQ...etc.

What an observation, LOL.

 

Everytime someone says something negative it's bashing. It's all about wanting consistency from Yao and when gets 6 rebounds in a game. That's flat out pathetic and he should be bashed. 6 rebounds fall into his lap, and more than that it's about hussling to get rebounds. In those 6 rebound games, it appears that he just gives up.

 

Yeah right, he just gave up and scored 30+ in winning games.

Michael Jordan has off nights as well. You can't bash a guy just based on one night or two nights' poor showings. Yao is averaging nearly 10 b this season, to me that's satisfactory, end of story.

 

In Dwight Howard’s last 5 game his rebounding stats were 12,13,7,7,22. Has Dwight been inconsistent? Yes, but he is the NBA’s best rebounder. I’m not sure what the average deviation is for a top rebounder, but Yao will deviate from his average depending on what he is asked to do. For instance, against Sacramento he only had 6 rebounds, but he scored 30 points. Against Denver he had 7 rebounds, but he scored 32 points. I would rather have him sacrifice rebounds than points in both of these games.

There are a lot of things beyond a player’s control that can dictate how many rebounds a player will get. If the Rockets are playing great interior defense the guards will have to shoot outside shots, which will create longer rebounds. Yao is too slow to get the longer rebounds.

 

First of all, if you're going to accuse me of bashing, repeat something I said that wasn't true. The speed,atheleticism, quickness and recogniton problems with yao are all true, its not bashing. If I said something false, that would be something else. I never said he had stone hands, I said he has soft hands, but lack hand strength. I've never called him a dumb playe®I said he has trouble translating his thoughts into motion quick enough. There is nothing false about that. When I speak of lack of effort towards rebounding, what's false about that? He gives everyone clear examples that when he wants to rebound, he rebounds. When he doesn't, he doesn't or don't give the full effort. If he wanted to, he could grab 12-14 rebs a game. That requires energy and effort. Maybe because he don't have long stamina, then like someone else mentioned, he's pacing himself. Pacing,reserving, whatever else you want to call it. Maybe if the gm got a legit backup, maybe he would go full out more, but he's probably just as disappointed when hayes comes in as us.

Once again, either quote me right or stay of my sax.

Yao told me to tell you he wants cheese on that jumbo jack and also get some curly fries.

 

Geez! You need to understand that NBA season has 82 games. There are some nights, plays are in a "off mode". Shots just don't get in. Boards just go to odd directions. Heck! MJ score 2 points once in a game. Are you suggesting that he didn't "want to" score 50+ points?

If you are Yao himself, I'd like him to think that no matter what, he should get 12+b per game. But as a fan, to demand something like that is just too much, with no sense of appreciation at all. You probably won't like Yao no matter what he does on the court.

But fortunately, billions of fans still love Yao both as a player and a person. Without Yao, Rockets won't get half of the attention now. *** or not, they are Rocket's fans for the time being. Your reason for loving Rockets is not more noble than anyone else's.

 

well, then TMAC should have triple-triple performance every single game, because he is capable of doing so...

 

Well the thing about tracy is, even when he's not shooting well, he rebounds and assist. Even when guys are blowing assist, he still gives them bunnies. You have to be consistent and in the end, it avg out. I'm just saying when the shot is off or the defense won't let you get the ball, rebound and blk shots.

 

You always bring this up even though those rebounds were almost impossible for Yao to get. Expecting Yao to outjump Boozer while Yao is backpeddling and Boozer is going straight up? Expecting Yao to outrun Boozer to a loose ball at the 3 pt line?

You're an idiot.

 

Good counter punch.
