He settled too much for jump shots, I will give

you that. He's a very good shooter, not percentage wise, but talent wise. He has one of the best elevation shooting forms, and he can shoot from anywhere comfortably. That's not what I said, but rather those coaches, and good shooters said many times. When you have the talent, when his back is hurting, he will fall comfortably into jump shooting. He need to work on that. But to say him ignore Yao intentionaly, that I can't agree. Last year, he and Barry are the only players who could pass to Yao comfortably. His PnR with Yao, especially in the Marvs series are unstoppable.

Were there times he ignored Yao's good position, and shot jumpers instead? Absolutely, nobody is perfect. As for setting picks, that's the offensive schema. Yao's huge frame naturally makes him one of the best pick and roll setter. That's how the game is supposed to be played, take advantage in team-wise, and expose any mismatches. Besides, with high post roll, Yao also rolls back for re-post, to get away with double team.

TMac led the Rockets last year, and led them quite some games this year. He had lots of personal problems, and a bad back. I wish he could deal with it better, the earlier the better. But to bash him to that degree as a negative player, is gone too far.
