Why does Yao's bad play get blamed on Steve and Cuttino?!?

    Right now it seems like everyone in the forum is saying we need to get the ball to Yao more but it seems like everytime hes gotten it in the past few games, hes either missed a shot or get blocked. Of course its Steve's and Cat's fault for him missing these shots. Lay off the Cat and Stevey.

    Notice how Cat and Steve shoot themselves out of slumps. Hell Cuttino does it all the time. He will keep shooting, keep creating shots, regardless of how he starts. Watch the games, Steve and Mobley can start off shooting 2-8 or 4-11 and they keep shooting and BAM! the next thing you know they're draining the next 4 or 5 shots and they kinda get their stroke back and they're sitting pretty with an 8-15 shooting night. Yao is not getting these same chances, its a fact.

    Most of Yao's shots are the ones that team designed such as post-ups, PnR etc. When he got double teamed, most times he chose to pass the ball to his teammates that are open. That's
    team basketball. But in reality even if it is a good shot, it could get blocked or missed.

    However, in Steve and Cat's cases, they tend to force the issue too much. Sometimes they completely ignored their teammates,
    chose to shoot even against a forest of defenders.

    It's just not Yao's bad play, it's Mo's bad play, EG's bad play. That means the whole team's offense is not run properly. And if the offense is not run properly, the guards (especially the PG you get called point guard for something you know) are the ones to blame. Fact.

    No wonder SF and CM don't "get it"...Sad to hear a lot of fans don'
    t "get it" either...
    Just hope somehow Rudy T "get it" in time, instead of waiting till not making playoffs or getting bumpped out in the first playoff round.

    Mr. LiuBaoXin, Yao hasn't been making his shots lately. He hasn't passed out much either...maybe because nobody's open. We need more plays. :)
