Rox cutting game with Yao..
Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 4:59 pm
As you all can observe, Rox spot up for threes when Yao gets the ball. Our pf usually is in the scramble with the opponents inside players and can't make the cut. Our pgs are too diminutive unless the goal or path to the goal is completely clear to drive. That leaves our wing players 2 of whom have ankle injuries and soreness (Battier/Artest) and one with a bum knee. I'm talking about cutting in moderate traffic which our pgs are too undersized or weak to do. Oh yeah, Rick Barry is too slow and unatheletic to even try it. Wafer might be our best athletic cutter to the basket considering he's athletic and has the speed but not the chemistry due to youth and inexperience.
The point of this post was to reveal how much better our offense could be if we had healthy cutters to the basket and not just outside shooters when Yao gets the ball. Then again Yao isnt too good of a passer but has been on a roll in the past with Bonzi cutting and etc. A more potent offense somehow makes our defense step up a level as well.. Discuss
