if you weren't a long time member, i'd say ban. enough new threads on r****ded topics. yes, he's having a bad game. thanks.
Celtics has Tom on thier coaching staff. He knows Yao as well as anybody..and probably knows the tricks to defending Yao...thats my only explanation
Play like that in the post season, kiss our sorry asses goodbye, Can u trust a guy like that deep in the post season with millions of fans viewing on TV and all media focused on the game? missing point blank dunks, fumbling passes and rebounds, getting stuffed by a midget . . . these are just basic plays but when he stinks he falls not just under an average center but one of the worst centers in the league. Not far off, we have seen this in the post season already, Okur??? Even Shawn Bradley can make basic competent plays with his stinker games (which there are many) but unfortunately I cannot say that of Ming.
Sadly enough, for this game, he was indeed a big liability. I've never seen a worse Yao than tonight.
Does Yao miss JVG/Tom T.? You gotta admit, they had him progressing very nicely, and seemed to get him the ball at will in a position to dominate. Under Rick, he's pretty much just continued to do whatever they taught him... and not as well. He hasn't added anything to his game in 2 years... and there has been regression in the skills he has had. Maybe he peaked... maybe its the injury... regardless, Yao isn't the same under Adelman has he was under JVG.
