Re: Regular Season Game 49 Thread: Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Lakers
I had to leave midway through the third, when it looked like Yao was coming back. What happened? A lot of his misses were easy shots. Remember how for a while last season it looked like he may become a 60% shooter for the next few years?
I didn't see Swift when he seemed to offend you guys the most, but I saw enough. His play has been nothing short of dismal this season. He can't hold on to the ball, he can't rebound, he can't pass in our halfcourt offense, and his defense is horrible. What a worthless pickup. Showing up once in ten games isn't enough.

He really had nothing to do with Yao's poor shooting.

Yeah he did. Hard to ignore that Kwame was denying him deep post position and easy shots on nearly every possession. You think Yao would have shot the percentage he did when Kwame guarded him against any other player in the league? Please.

Yao was rushing his shots in the first half, I really can't explain why. Getting good looks wasn't a problem, his shot just wasn't falling. He even missed 2 consecutive FT's. His FG shooting in the last 3 games:
LAL: 7-17 41%
PHI: 9-21 43%
NYK: 7-16 44%
Sorry, but I still think Kwame is a crappy defender.

It's either
A. He's in a slump. Plain, and simple, he's missing shots he usuallys makes, and he's in a slump. At this point, I don't think it's rust or fatigue.
or
B. Yao has been getting rebounds. Historically, when he gets a lot of rebounds, he usually doesn't shoot well, presumably because he 's too tired after grabbing rebounds to shoot properly.
So, it could be one of those things, or both things together.
