it's obvious that Yao will be doubled or even tripled when it comes to close games... he has, and will have problems creating his own space to get a good shot so with VSpan on the court and his penetratio/court vision, Yao will have less TO's we have seen the past few games, he will also use his body strenght less which will make him stay fresh for the 4th quarter, and we definately will have few more open shots we seriously had problems creating shots for our guys, especially the 4th quarter when we tried to give almost every ball to Yao...and the other teams would tear him down so he would not hit those shots he usually does peace
I think Tmac should drive more to the basket or play set plays in the last 2 mins of the game. And we should deploy our shooters in case doubleteam comes up.
he did try, but they would double him right away, and its like he doesn't want to push it a little more....he stops and gives the ball to someone else
