    Some of Rocket's plays made me confused last night, could anybody explain to me:confused: ...

    1. When JJ attampted an entry pass to Yao at the left side of the court, SF/Cat was always at the left corner. I knew they were going to cut to the basket along the baseline...But if Yao has trouble to catch the ball in a jammed area. Isn't it better to clear the whole left court for him?

    2. Wright and Swift hit jumpers like they've never missed in their entire life. It's mainly because Yao was not quick enough to come out to chanllenge the shot, or he's not willing to. Why didn't we switch to zone defense so the wing players could help defend 10-15ft jumpers.

    3. When MoT and Yao were both on court.... they both like the post position at the left. Does it mean they won't be a good front court combo? Is JVG gonna design a Spurs-like Hi-lo game for Yao and MoT?

    First thing is first. Yao's entry pass must be addressed.

    We only lost by 8 points. That could have been made up easily regardless of Wright and Swift's shots.
