You know, not a single one of those explanations tendered in the original post cover every single incident of Yao not getting the ball. But all...
Errrm... no. Is it inevitable that you're occasionally going to beat your own man for a rebound? Yes. Is it a "tough luck" play every time?...
Question: If Houston shoots 50% on wide open looks, would they have won tonight? Secondary question: Is not hitting open jumpers JVG's...
Oh, and incidentally, I had a real "throw the remote across the room moment" when Mobley took the ball away from Yao after a board. Geez......
Francis and Mobley are redundant. Get rid of one, preferably Mobley, since Francis seems to be developing a better basketball-sense. We've got...
It's not even always the offense. They got enough open looks to win tonight. The offense, form-wise, has improved. The Rockets miss far too...
Does it make anyone else queasy that the Rockets could have dealt Mobley and Griffin for Brand last year? I was only slightly in favor of it...
RocketRiver: I just find your consistent defenses of Mobley peculiar in light of the criticism of Nachbar. I mean, Nachbar is younger, has...
I'd agree, except for the fact that I'm not sure his body can take the rough treatment. Not only this season, but for the future. I don't want...
But why are you so certain? Nowitzki sucked his first year. Looked like a bust of almost Sam Bowe proportions. Nachbar is almost certainly no...
I don't see why you're romanticizing a player so much who has never taken his team to the playoffs. He's tradeable. Anybody is. Francis is...
RR, I think you're being a little harsh. Boki has shown tremendous improvement this year. Well, perhaps he'd have shown it last year if...
He also saw something that his coach didn't. And that his coach was angry enough about to mention afterwards. You really want to argue that...
Ok, fine, we can do that if it makes you happy (though, assuming that it's not a function of fewer attempts, this argument isn't an indictment of...
My only problem with his statements is that he seemed to attribute some of Yao's success to a lucky break... when he, of course, didn't mention...
Hmmm... JVG thinks that Yao is getting ignored in the post on designed plays while open, while Francis thinks it's getting "force fed" to Yao....
But it's still non-responsive to the thread title ;). Nobody's arguing for a one-man team. I've supported the Rockets since about 1984, but...
Did you know? Yao Ming has not shot under 33% in any game this [b]year[b]. Did you know? Yao Ming leads the Rockets in FG%. Guess...
Huh? The question is not whether Yao should be the only player to get the ball, but whether: 1. The Rockets should fully utilize the threat...
Oh, gee. What a shock. Van Gundy doesn't think that every time Yao's ignored in the post it's because of fantastic defense by the opposition....
