i think the whole TO and lack of stamina is caused by the style of offense play; the whole offense relies on yao and tmac and everyone else standing and waiting to shoot. if yao doesn't have to back down the defender everytime, he would have way more energy. it takes a lot effort to back them down and easy for TO, why not have other people running around? and have yao catch and shoot. have more variety on offense would save yao AND tmac a lot energy. i noticed that jazz defenders were fouling tmac outside the 3 pt line, hand checks and what not. tmac shouldn't be spending his energy trying to get free while dribbling, he should be spending his energy driving to the basket. once again, the whole offense system is making yao and tmac work extra while the supporters standing and watching.
He had 0 turnovers in the 2nd half because Gundy stop getting him the ball. There were ten straight plays where Yao and TMac were on the floor but they kept giving it to TMac in the post. They were completely ignoring Yao that's how bad he was playing.
