I agree with both of these...It has been a combination of Adelman's offensive strategy [rocketseagle] with superior offensive forwards [jVgOwnsYou] also adding wing players who can get to the basket, like Brooks, Wafer, and Barry. Teams are more likely to fear Scola, Landry, and Artest than they are Hayes, Howard, Bowen, and Battier. Teams can't really cheat on Yao as much, because there are too many other players who can score, while Adelman encourages the all-mighty ball-movement.
