How do you know this? Do you have any proof? Pardon, but it's rather a dubious inference.
Steve has been the best player on a good team (2001). He's a great scorer. Good jump shot, can drive, great athleticism. Hard working. Can...
I know this is a bit of an odd new thread. But I can't help but start it, because of how weird that game made me feel. The game was surreal....
This game was psychotic. It was the single weirdest game I think I've seen in the past 5 years. Frickin' surreal. Yao was fighting damned...
Case in point, today. Once the Mavs implimented their zone, the Rockets totally lacked the requisite patience to get the ball into Yao. If he...
I really appreciate all this information. So, Steve's optimal range is 10-15 shots per game. Below that, the team has suffered recently... and...
Of course, the statistics prove one thing pretty absolutely: Yao's offensive involvement and performance is generally outcome determinative....
Agreed. That was the one shot he had that I always wished Hakeem did better. I'd take Hakeem 100 times out of 100 over Ewing - but Ewing could...
I took the "off-season" option. Steve's playing better, so his value will only go up... especially once the BYC status ends. Not to mention, I'd...
How foolish. Incidentally, that would relegate us all to never criticizing any professional basketball player. Or, in fact, any member of a...
Hmm. I don't think I like that definition of "best defender," really. Primarily because help defense is probably more important than individual...
I'd do Cato for Croshere :). Croshere gets a bit of a bad rap because he was in Isaiah's doghouse for so long. He played fairly well for Bird...
One of the most amusing thing about Yao's recent play is the way the national media reacts to it. They were just about to finally dismiss him...
9th out of 12th in PPS? Damn. I've been looking less at stats this year than usual, since I've seen a lot more of the games. I didn't realize...
But that's not really the issue, is it? The problem is that the Rockets occasionally ignore Yao on plays that he is designed to be a part of....
I put "above average." Mobley's excellent as long as he's facing a single defender one-on-one. He has some problems getting posted up... and I...
Leadership is overrated. Or, at least, leadership need not come in conventional forms. Hakeem and Tim Duncan are great examples of players that...
The problem is the fact that nobody on the show really likes the Rockets. And don't give me the "it's not a big game" issue. They devoted plenty...
Yao is more efficient than Francis. Big shock there. Francis shoots more than Yao. Another shock. pgabriel: Francis playing more minutes...
I think he's being a bit unfairly slammed. While the arguments were not always entirely cogent, I think that some of them are sound when better...
