I think consistently is the key word there. Steve does make his teammates better - well, he at least manages to get them open looks. But he...
He didn't either score or get fouled. His shooting % was poor. Shaq was "effective" that night.
Guarding Shaq 1-on-1 is foolish for anybody. I hope that Yao never does it. It's also foolish to guard Yao 1-on-1... or, imo, pretty much any...
Some day, look at Hakeem's assists during his glory years. If you wish to maintain that Hakeem wasn't generating open looks for his teammates,...
Do they "borrow" a bit? Yes. But, imo, the Celtics announcers are pretty much "the pick of the litter" on the Yao/Steve issue. They generally...
...and then you've got other major, "unbiased" personnel that have mentioned how well the Rockets play with the ball going inside first (McGrady)...
Goodness. So you haven't noticed that just about every opposing announcer team on NBA league pass is critical of Francis :confused:? Or the the...
I'm not sure I agree with it all, but most of that's well within the frame of reason except for one thing: Cato. Cato's been atrocious. He...
What a terrible trade. Good thing it's unlikely to happen. Whatever you think of Francis - his value almost had to be higher than a guy who'll...
Yes you are. You might not think of yourself as one. But it's still true. If your love of Francis prevents you from being objective even...
So, essentially: players are never at fault for tactical errors, regardless of whether they're induced by selfishness or stupidity, as the...
Not you. Just very annoyed by the fact that a lot of the YOFs are e-persecuted, while those like you with blatantly obvious biases running the...
Eh... it's becoming pretty apparent that Yao will abuse any team that single-teams him. It doesn't always happen - but it has consistently enough...
Yay! :D Would you please post more often, aelliott? You're missed.
What the hell are you talking about, can you read!?! Did I post at all there that Yao doesn't have bad games? No. And he does sometimes (just...
Hmm. One of two things is true about him: 1. Either he really dislikes Yao. or 2. He's obsessed with Francis to the exclusion of Yao....
Do you honestly never see the guards ignoring Yao open in the post? I find this really hard to believe. I believe people when they say that...
Why do so few max players actually leave? Even if there are rumors that they're unhappy? The leverage is not as you claim. 1. The Rockets...
Actually, no. He'll take any construction of game events to slant it towards Francis over Yao. Any possible construction. You point out...
Huh? Your assertions contradict themselves. Yao is not a great rebounder - for a 7'5 center. Yao is probably not a great passer/ball-handler......
