Note to JVG: please run the Yao and Tmac pick & roll.... last night with the Lakers, I remember three consecutive plays where they ran that pick and roll and made 3 consecutive buckets... One of them allowed Yao to get a dunk... another one resulted in a Tmac bucket... and the last one I forgot... The reason why this move works is because Yao doesn't like to post up every single play... this helps Tmac get the ball to Yao when Yao's running to the basket for an easy bucket, dunk, or a jumper! I think Yao's shooting slump and passive play is because the guards need to get him more involved in the offence.. THat doesn't mean ONLY passing him the ball when they feel like it. They need to look for Yao on every play... and setting up plays for him... not expecting him to create his own shot all the time (posting up) JVG really needs to make some plays for Yao and utilize his playing style and not always try to mold him into a Shaq-like player... Yao is not a very strong post-up player and JVG has to realize that or he should be fired!!! And also, how come Sura never passes to Yao... i've never seen one player that he's passed the ball to him... Overall, our roleplayers suck... and I think every play should be set up for either Yao or Tmac or this team will go no where...
i'm also surprised they don't run it more often. high pick and roll with tmac and yao, 2 shooters in the corners and a 4 in the paint. i don't know how that could be stopped...
