Re: Game 10: Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets
Luther Head and Yao Ming are killing the Mavs right now. It's basically a two man show for Houston.
Houston is getting to the free throw line more right now, and that's pretty much the difference.

Re: Game 10: Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets
Yao Ming and Swift both have 4 fouls, and Dallas is slowly gaining momentum. Jason Terry has played very well tonight.

Re: Game 10: Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets
Yao Ming once again showed why people don't think he'll ever get to that next level. I mean, 6 rebounds in 37 minutes? Not only that, but Dallas grabbed 17 offensive rebounds, so there's something wrong with that for Houston. Anyway, a nice win for Dallas.

Re: Game 10: Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets
He doesn't crash the boards, he just takes up space in the lane. Yao still just allows the ball come to him and it shows when playing against more aggressive rebounders.

Re: Game 10: Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets
Yao - fatigued again, as well as foul prone. He may never be able to overcome those two obstacles. Maybe if his offensive fouls (read: moving screens) were eliminated, the refs would be easier on him altogether. Could his size be working against him?
Mavs - missing Stackhouse. He's good for 8-10 FTs a game when he gets minutes, and Dallas simply doesn't have anyone else who draws contact like him. Personally, Dirk could - but it would wear him down and effect his stamina.

Then Dirk picks up fouls on the defensive side playing lazy d and not moving his feet.

Exactly - and what happened to Dirk's "inside game plan". I say (again) forget it. The dude is a 7 foot freak of nature who is best suited to play just the way he does - outside/in.
With just a touch of defensive intensity.

Re: Game 10: Dallas Mavericks vs. Houston Rockets
I would like to get some perspective from you Mav fans about Yao. I think he just needs better coaching. Ewing, in my opinion, has done little more than merely collect a paycheck since JVG brought him on board to work with the bigs. I just don't see any progress in any of them.
I have to wonder why a great basketball guy like Carroll Dawson continues to let this guy stay around.
What do my neighbors to the north think?

I doubt that Ewing isn't trying to help out Yao. There's only so much that can be done for him. Yao's major problem is his lack of conditioning. The guy is sucking some serious wind after being on the floor for 5 minutes a time. That's on the strength and conditioning coaches, not on Ewing.

While I agree, Lanteri, I can't directly blame S&C; at 7 ft 6, 310lbs the laws of physics may not apply. Is it possible to run 35 minutes at his size? I don't know.
I think Yao's game is better suited to international play. Less physical, perhaps a little more pick-and-pop action. The Shaqs and Damps of the world are shortening his career, if only minutes at a time.
