Hopefully, Im not the only one who noticed this but when Lowry is on the floor, Yao gets a ball a lot more and in much better situations. I hate to say it but the only person who could pass the ball consistenly to Yao was Tracy.
Fans just need to stop acting like Yao is a big baby with super special needs. He's been in the league for 7 years and fans continue to blame coaches and teammates. Majority of the problems lies with Yao himself.
Objectively speaking, for everyone's good, they should throw the ball to Yao, even if he doesn't want it.
What does that have to do with my post? I didn't mention one thing about McGrady. But the simple fact is Yao must have a perimeter superstar for the Rockets to be contenders. It doesn't have to be McGrady. Since Yao is easy to deny in crunch time, the Rockets need someone else to take over when the going gets tough.
He doesn't have to be the man......but he is a great piece to have on your team.......thats what I think.....and its nice to have a role player that can eat up Howard and Shaq right guys?
he does not seal his dfenders??? yes, sometimes...but more often, if u have been following rox and watching most of the games, u noe thats not the reason...there r so many times when yao was ready and artest/brooks just ignored yao, they decided to shoot or pass it to the weakside, or dribble themselves...that just made me frustrated...yao is not a selfish player, he is a proven willing passer... also yao cant play 40 mins, so to better use yao, yao's teammates MUST pass the ball to yao whenever he is ready...
