After tonight's game against Clippers, it's so obvious that it's TMAC, not YAO, is leading the team this season till now. Accept the fact my dear YOF.
The Rockets doesn't need him to be that kind leader. The team needs him to be a dependable go-to guy down the stretch. If it relies on T-mac to beat the Spurs, Mavs or even the Jazz with his low percentage jumpers, the Rockets won't win.
Not read the whole thread. But shaq is being single covered by nearly all other teams for about two years. My poor yao, wake up, you are a second tier center right now:-(.
Well I am neither a TMAC fan nor a YAO fan (you can know this my other posts -- I fight with TOF like doublehh03 etc., I also fight some YOF). I don't care as long as the team can win the games. I also hate TMAC's "it's all on me" crap in last playoffs. Similarly, Yao should STFU and simply do his job on the court.
I don't understand why people have to attack one of them in order to support the other. We all know this team needs both of them at their best to go deep into the playoff. Tmac played a great game tonight and gave us the win but we may well need Yao to be at his best in the next game in order to keep winning. Yao had a stretch just two weeks ago when he brought us win after win and became the West Player of the Week. Anyway, whoever tries to diss one of them in order to support the other is a fool. You are here to support the team, not just a player. And whoever comes here just to hate is even more r****ded. I will never hesitate to call out these fools.
I seriously doubt your reading comprehension. Please read my previous post again. As I said, I am not a TOF, nor a YOF, but I support both of them. If both guys perform well, I say good words to both of the two. If both perform bad, I diss both. If TMAC performs bad and Yao performs well, I diss TMAC and praise YAO, and vice versa. That said, when I diss one of them, that's because he does a bad job, not because I want to show my support to the other. Is that clear enough?
We, as Rockets fans, are critical of T-mac and Yao because they are the supposedly superstars and leaders of the team, but they not getting the job done. They have been playing dumb basketball. T-mac takes and misses way too many long jumpers while Yao plays like he was a rookie again. Sure, we need both to play well to beat those big boys. Yao has to be the #1 option because he shoots a higher percentage, draw more fouls(he should), and draw double-triple team.
I agree with most of what you said except that Yao has to be the #1 option (you mean all the time, right?). Because of his stamina and limited athletic ability (blame it on his hugh frame), Yao is not really that difficult to be stopped with fronting and double-team. Of course we should feed Yao until he throws up if he dominates the paint on those nights. But in other games like the one tonight when Yao was obviously off offensively, Tmac has to be the #1 option. We need to utilize both of them to the utmost in order to go deep into the playoff.
in china, we call T-mac's eyes 瞌睡眼-sleepy eye, now i know the reason, that's because of too much sleeping!
When I said Yao has to be the #1 option, I meant the team should first look at him when he's at the low post. He is the biggest advantage we have. Nevertheless, don't force the ball to him. If his teammates see he's being double -teamed or feel the pass is too risky, 1. pass to other teammates or 2. call him out to run the pick-n-roll or 3. tell him to set a screen for his teammate that does not have the ball. 4. DON'T LET HIM WASTE HIS ENERGY, FIGHTING FOR POSITION WHEN HE'S NOT GOING TO GET THE BALL. If T-mac is hot from the outside, go ahead and continue taking those long bombs. But, if he starts to miss, he should should look for the big man or take it to the hole. Right now, Yao is useless in the 4th quarter. The Rockets gives the T-mac the ball at the right high post and Yao stands at the left high post. T-mac pulls up for a jumper while the rest of the team watch. No Rockets is in position to get the offensive rebound. Ball bounces off the rim and the other team gets the rebound and starts the fast break.
Could not agree more to your assessment. I still don't see this is the right Adelman motion offense per se...... It is still Jeff Van Gundy's offense, heavily relying on hot hands of either Big Yao or Tracy McGrady. Tonight, the Rockets was lucky....as the LA Clippers were heavily under-manned and Tracy McGrady was super-hot with his shooting, and 0-fer had the game of the season. But what if on another night when TMAC lost his shooting touch/feel, and kept clanking the rim and laying bricks, and Rafer Alston returned to be his old air-balling self?
I agreed with the rookie. I think that Yao is talking about being a vocal leader. I think that his concern is more about lacking of team defense during those bad stretch of games. But we saw adjustment was made in that area during yesterday's game when Haye was switched to defend "Caveman" to save Yao from faul trouble. Yao is not a great defender. He is a good defender. He changes and alters a lot of shoots. But he can not defend one-on-one against a good scoring center most of time. I doubt any one in the league can do that. Duncan could not defend Yao in the first match-up is an evidence of that. You guy must notice that Clippers did not even use "Caveman" to defend Yao in the first half.
So Yao woke Mac up to start plotting for the overthrow of Emperor Adelman in favor of the old regime? And so it begins...
Yao said it only for SF3, Yao won't let SF3 to be traded again and say no to some other players and RA. SF3 can not get any chance without Yao.
There was also an interview before the season started that Yao felt JVG didn't utilize enough of this skills - passing/shooting - I wonder how true these interviews are...
