Yao Ming: Carroll Dawson Knows Me Better As A Coach

I disagree. Zone hurts big men the most, because the paint is always so crowded. They only hurt wing players that can only slash, but players with mid to long range games feast on zones because there are so many gaps in the defense on the perimeter. Although a majority of the players in the NBA have played zone before, none of them really play it that well on this level - perhaps its due to a lack of communication or practice on the players part.

 

IMO.

Zone hurts whomever the other team is trying to shut down, be it on the perimeter or on the block.

There are many types of zones, and depending on what the zone is trying to accomplish it can hurt any talented individual player.

To shut down one player, yes. But to shut down a team of shooters, no.

 

You know .. . if you put that in your signature you wouldn't have to say it again

It would always be there for you

But just because you say you are a coach doesn't really mean squat.

He could be a lowly graduate assistant at a small school, or he could be a crap coach, or a pimply faced teenager who knows a ball boy on the Rockets.... & there are good and bad coaches.....

Just because you are an alleged coach doesn't mean you know the game any better than someone else.

And the NBA is an entirely different animal.

And the fact that he is so desperatly trying to show he is an insider and more knowledgeable than anyone else (all while not speaking a LICK about basketball), on an internet message board makes it highly suspect that he is any kind of coach at all.

A good coach, or leader does not need to impress people on a message board....I mean you don't see a quality teacher like CD on here pimping himself, do ya?



Leave that to us neophytes......

Is the zone rule designed for stopping Shaq first as well as the isolation plays designed by some coaches? I think so. Just look the Shaq' number after the zone rule, you should know what is different.

 

Dominate look at the statlines for Akeem during the championship run, look at Shaq's that is domination. Not shooting below your average against a non defender like Okur. But hey if thats domination to you the bar is 2 low IMO.

Domination is putting the Team on your back in the 4th quarter and leading it to victory defensivley as well as on Offense.

 

cd definitely has his pimps adding to this message board...that egomanical sob has the media follow him around when hes working out yao and he is a world class underminer to the owner about alot of people....and dadumb, lets talk hoops...go ahead and pose a question

 

Are we even in disagreement here? I think we're basically saying the same thing.

 

Man, CD must stole your GF from u or something...

 

Yao is not the level of Akeem and Shaq, there is no comparsion with them, then if you say Okur is a non defender, just ask Duncan who had six TOs and 11 points in one game, and ~15 TOs in three games when guarded by Okur. Nobody said Yao was playing well, but whoever says you can easily dominate Okur has not watched the Spura-Utah series.

 

that was one game on the road. utah is a tough place to play. tmac struggled there too.

i'm talking about the home games where yao struggled too.

duncan shot like 60% in the first 2 games of the series where it basically was decided anyways.

but cmon now, if you yao fans think yao is on the level of duncan based purely on stats, nothing i can say.

should i say dirk is the best PF in the game b/c he has the best stats? please.

it's not that u can easily dominate okur, but yao is 7-6. they didn't double yao much.

but what's more is that yao struggled even v. a 6-8 milsap, not just okur. that was what is disconcerting.

 

First, we are not talking about TMac, just let him out the talk.

Secondly, Yao was not playing well, that was what I said.

Thirdly, Duncan was mentioned here to prove Okur is not that bad, implying that even Duncan>>>Yao can not dominate Okur easily, then how come Yao can dominate Okur easily.

Finally, 7-6 is not good thing for a NBA player, JVG has said it many times, he said that if Yao is 7-2, he may be better.

Finally, Yao fan or not, it does not matter, just talk the fact.

 

That tells us a lot. CD is legally blind.

 

which may explain his drafts, trades, and free agent signings.

 

There you go again bringing facts into the discussion...

 

Dennis the Menace........pass.

Im curious as to what you said but I know it would be a wasting another 10 seconds of my life reading more of your mindless dribble boy! So have a happy time here though it will be short lived. Cant last long on a discussion board if no one wants to discuss anything with you.

 

dadumb and pussum...you say you want to talk hoops and then you run off and wont ask a question...i got one for you...explain the difference between the pete carrill princeton offense and the ucla high post offense...tell everyone out about the jazz flex offense or their splitting game when the ball is thrown into the low post...lets talk hoops or are you just going to call me out and then run and hide to hide your lack of knowledge...and pussum the ignore list is the ultimate pussum move

 

I don't see why Ewing couldn't win. I mean Yao shot a pityful 44% against freaking Okur and got stripped and blocked left and right, how do you think he would fare against Ewing who's at least 2 times a defender Okur is? and we haven't taken into account Yao's more foul-prone and has inferior stamina, both of which would affect his offensive efficiency and output. Wanna think about putting your life on the line again?? and I don't even want to discuss rebounding and shot blocking. Yao, as he is, is no better than Ewing in his prime. Not even close. And he hasn't done jack in the playoff.
