The offense looked okay for about ten or so games against weaker/injured opponents. Then it rapidly became clear that the Rockets have huge...
And one more thing, a comparison of records with and without should be made for this coach and this offense. I like JvG a lot but there's no...
Trying to figure out who's a better player between the two isn't going to be productive. The positions they play are too distinct--it's comparing...
I'm going to repeat myself until I'm blue in the face. 1) A double team on Yao may be detrimental for Yao but it's a net advantage for the...
No Bynum for the Lakers, I think it would have been an interesting WCF.
Why would you even want to play the pick and roll with any player, regardless of who it is? The pick and roll is not a motion offense play....
Against the Warriors Yao basically carried the team on his back in the fourth quarter to a win. Against the Celtics if not for a non-call on KG...

Yao does a pretty good job passing out of double teams because of his height. And while the Rockets might have enjoyed some initial success after...
I would say that the biggest factor in the Rockets improved record was Scola moving into the starting lineup, because suddenly the Rockets had a...
If Yao gets doubled he can't put it down on the floor. He's got to hold the ball over his head and pass or shoot immediately, preferably pass....
I would say the trick is that Yao shouldn't be shooting out of the double team, he should be passing it to the open guy who is hopefully standing...
Ye gods, wouldn't that be a dream come true.
If you could sit down with the Rockets coaching staff and make suggestions and point out trends based off of what you saw this year what would...
