Yeah, and when Yao goes down T-Mac can't fill in for the shot blocking in the paint, or the tip in's off missed shots/offensive rebounds, etc....
Always been impressed with whoever runs that site. They do excellent analysis. Their point about how the Rockets offense isn't fluid but instead...
Uh oh...
There's no doubt that T-Mac's a gifted passer, way above average. And I'm not saying that he wrecks the team's offense. In the first quarter of...
The offense has looked pretty crummy in some spots, pretty good in others. The issue with T-Mac and the offense though isn't the same as with...
Comparing a center to a guard makes about as much sense as comparing a qb to a running back. In term of individual skills, who knows? In terms...
Adelman kept Yao on the floor despite the fact that he was a liability in the Celtics game. Whatever issues he has he's going to be forced to...
T-Mac has an off night and he sits out the fourth quarter in Dallas. Yao has an off night and he's forced to play and play and play, limited...
And again, the point you're missing is that Yao's game right now doesn't rely on his athleticism. He doesn't really have any. There is zero...
Wherever Yao ranks in the pantheon of great centers it's pretty clear that this Rockets team is going to be reliant on him to be the centerpiece...
This small ball stuff always sounded like crap to me. Last night Yao goes out and the Rockets cannot buy a rebound. Bring back Deke.
How about just starting Brooks?
I'm not worried unless it's the foot. If it's bothering him then the Rockets are in big, big trouble.
The point you're missing is that Yao is not going to lose a lot of athleticism. The guy doesn't have a lot of physicality right now and his game...
And do you know what Hakeem did at 31 and 32 that he couldn't do earlier in his career? There was no question at that point that he had lost a...
Yao was around for most of the streak--the first 12 games if I'm not mistaken. The loss to the Celtics last night also snapped his personal win...
I don't think 29-30 should be counted as anybody's physical prime--typically you're at your toughest/fastest/strongest in your mid-twenties....
I don't think you can separate Yao's offensive and defensive performances. He looked great in the first quarter until he had to go out with those...
His point is that Yao will probably age more gracefully than Howard. Being able to actually shoot the ball is an asset that doesn't fade as fast...
What gets under my skin is the way you-know-what's have to glorify McGrady by portraying the rest of the team as useless scrubs. Anybody who saw...
