Please forgive my English. Here are some thoughts about last night's game and Rockets: It was a good game. Yao was fronting and in help-defense by another guy from behind in most minutes. AD's plan was to penetrate from weak side or take the open shots form the free throw line. The plan is OK and everyone played out of their hearts. (Another plan that may defeat fronting is to swing the ball from one side to another which was often used in JVG's era. I do not know why AD never tried that) It is not necessary to blame Yao or AB. In most cases, Yao's arm is entangled by Oden or someone else. When Yao tried to free himself, they held Yao's waist,shoulder or just flopped. In that situation, nobody can pass the ball to Yao. For the following 5 games, we have HCA and I do not expect the WWF style defense to Yao will be allowed in Houston.
