Is Kenny Smith smoking crack? Nuggets in the WCF? I can see the Suns (although I disagree) but the Nuggets and not the Spurs (or Dallas or us or Utah?) Wow. It looks like Kenny is trying to carve out his niche as a contrarian among NBA analysts. Great idea except he won't ever be correct.
After watching last night game, Yao will NEVER win the MVP award. Adelman has turned him into a very good Vlade Divac instead of a dominating force who possesses the power and finesse games of Shaq and Duncan. Last night, he spent 75% of the time away from the basket. He was either setting screens or passing the ball to his teammates then to watch them throwing up bricks. What happened to all those moves that the Dream taught him? What happened to the high percentage and unstoppable jump hook, which he could shoot with either hand? If Yao doesn't dominate, the Rockets won't win the championship. In fact, they won't even get out of the first round. AGAIN. T-mac, Mike James, and Rafer need to stop shooting those long bombs.
agree with this, yao needs to be in the low post. i am still hoping adelman changes his offense. doug collins was right when he said that yao was most comfortable in the low post and he looked lost at the elbow.
