Way to miss the obvious. If the guy who's fronting Yao is some scrub, who cares if he's exhausting himself? The other team is using their scrub...
It's not "every" modern NBA champion. You yourself conceded that the 1994 Rockets lacked an elite wing. Once again you're confusing...
Good thing the Tracy only fans have left the building. The thought of T-Mac returning worries me. He should be traded in the off season so...
The key to this game was execution on both ends of the floor. No offensive droughts coupled with good, consistent D and the Rockets blow out one...
In terms of the argument at hand though the first option on those Celtics teams was clearly Larry Bird, followed by the twin Frankensteins of...
Good catch.
Yeah, like tonight obviously. :rolleyes: Your reasons are ridiculous. Yes, fronting Yao takes a lot of energy but Yao expends an equal...
Correlation is not causation. Championship teams are usually made up multiple all-stars and considering there's five guys on the floor there's an...
I know why teams don't front Yao all the time. Do you have a guess?
Yeah, or keep whipping the ball around the perimeter to get the defense off balance. Or post up Artest or Scola. Or let Lowry penetrate. Or get...
Your point is that the motion offense, for some weird reason, suddenly stops working in the fourth quarter. Then the Rockets need to go back to...
The common wisdom is that bounce passing to a big man is a bad idea. I've always argued that Brooks is an underrated passer and that the fact...
Well good then, that was easy. Again, my point is simple. Every team needs a direction. The coach provides that. So long as Adelman is the...
So in other words your point is that the Rockets shouldn't force the ball in to Yao in the last three minutes of close games, as compared to the...
Lurking doesn't count. You may dislike guys like DD and Tinman but their post counts show their level of fandom.
The real issue right now is that Scola's defense has improved remarkably, and currently he's much better than Landry in that regard.
What part of "when the game's on the line all teams kick it up a notch" do you not understand? No, if you actually watched the Kings you'd...
The Rockets stop running the offense in the fourth, sometimes, because they take their foot off the gas and get a little overconfident. Good...
Typically those adjustments I talked about come from the coaches. Yao rolls to the basket after a screen because that's just an excellent play....
So what changes in the fourth quarter? Does the magical basketball fairy come down and decree that "elaborate" offenses don't work for the last...
