do you know in the past how to get yao in foul trouble? guard penetration to make contact. yao is not fast enough to cover a lot space. he can't just stand under the basket to waiting opponent guard more than 3 sec. it's called illigal defense. the technique is very efficient. alot teams used it. the key to beat it for rox is our guard to stay in front of his counterpart or slow them down so yao has enough time to react or come to help with his height so the opponent guard can shoot over you.
I think you are all being too hard on our players. With injuries, trades, guys out sick, guys playing sick or injured - and not enough playing time together to work as well -oiled machine like the other teams - I think our Rockets have played hard and done pretty well all things considered. I read where Ariza was not well and had to have IV fluids before the SAS game. Also past weeks with whatever "bug" was going around -I was wondering why the sick players were not isolated from the other team members.
