8-7 without McGrady. We managed to close out 8 games without McGrady. When the defense plays straight up, throw Yao the ball in the post. He fails sometimes, like against KG in Boston, but he will succeed other times, like yesterday. That's about as good as you can say for ANYONE. In case you didn't know the Hornets lead our division right now?
If the defense fronts then we need to move the ball, but GS stopped fronting and went to single coverage, so ball movement will not help, only Yao dominating will.
I have a question for you: When we went down 102-101 with 2 minutes left, who went on a 9-2 run by himself against the Warriors?
Answer yourself that.
you don't get what i'm saying? why were we behind by 1 when we had a 20 point lead. what did our offense look like in the beginning of the 4th?
we were heading towards another collapse before yao saved us. that's the problem. THE COLLAPSE.
you're talking about how yao ENDED the game. i'm talking about what cause the COLLAPSE without tracy again.
the collapse is worrisome and it's not a coincidence the collapse started when we went away from ball movement and wasted time looking for yao.
fortunately this game, yao got hot late.
but the SEVEN turnovers are from the FORCE-FEEDING.
EDIT - 8-7 -> we closed 8 games without tmac? that's not smart logic.
