Who's guarding Maggette? Maggette is looking like an all-star.
The guy was picked #6 in the 1st round. The guy looks like a stiff, but he moves better than most of the centers in the NBA.
It's not Steve's fault. The defense out there is to prevent Yao from getting points. Yao gets the ball, and there is immediate attention coming...
Kaman just took Cato off the dribble. This guy can move fast.
Rockets make 3-4 jumpers in a row, and it will force the Clippers to change.
Look at the other inside-out offenses with the Spurs and the Lakers. The Lakers have Luke Walton, Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Kareem Rush, and...

I don't know what the heck is going on in practice. It's obvious the Clippers watched the Mavs game for guidance. Kaman is allowing Yao to get...
It looks like Elton Brand is providing the double team defense on Yao. The guy is all over Yao which is problematic.
As was said before, why aren't the passes going up higher? I thought the Rockets practiced this.
Take Kwame Brown for example. Michael Jordan must have drafted him for his great athleticism because his fundamentals are horrible. Of course,...
Maybe it's best to further separate the attributes into mental and physical which is more broad than the fundamentals and athleticism....
I agree with your point about a mix of fundamentals and athleticism is what works. However, let's say that GMs used a formula of 75% athleticism...
