I'm not going to complain much after a win and yao playing well offensively, but I think what the op is trying to set up is the habits. Its easy to get into a habit of not rebounding or turning the ball over. There are night when the rox won't play the kings and the teams don't let yao get great position to score. Then what? How are you going to help your team win. We remember the last 2 games vs utah 2 yrs ago when yao did the same thing. I think you have to be consistent and get in the habit of rebounding. They won, but it also is of some concern.
Yao Ming has been dominating the last 2 games, and its not his fault that scola and landry are grabbing all the rebounds!
Watch Yao and Battier on defensive rebounding situations. Both of these guys look for their men to box out BEFORE they look for the ball. This is fundamental basketball. Neither of them are great rebounder for their size. Neither of them are athletic. They can't out jump and out quick their opponents. What they do is to make sure their men don't get the rebound so their teammates have a better chance. We have never been a poor rebounding team since we had them on our team. Like some people have already pointed out, individual rebounding is not as important as team rebounding. The weakness of Yao, which is his reaction speed, is just a physical weakness he can't help. That weakness does result sometimes in opponents taking the rebound away from him when a quicker player could have already grabbed it tight.
yao can only rebounds balls that come to him; his physical limitations prevent him from being a great rebounder. as logn as he boxes out and prevents his man from getting those rebounds, it should be fine. we know it's yao's weakness so a lot of guys have chipped in on the boards. yao's strength is scoring. as long as he's scoring at this clip, please, no haters. he's the best scoring center, not overall player.
rebounds - tell scola to stop taking them from him, or yao just snag them from him, he always allows scola to just take it
i think we shouldn't forget the t-mac factor. Just how many easy layups and dunks yao had due to t-mac's dribble penetration and pass?
hahahha, seriously though, i remember seeing twice last game yao had the rebound 100% and scola just came BENEATH yao and took the rebounds...
