VC: “The Next Team Has To Pay for It - Plain and Simple”

[YiOF]

When Yi comes out to the elbow and hands off the ball to Carter, rubs off Carter's defender and gives VC a wide open shot, he is doing a terrific job and it's making him a better player.

Why do they have to run an offense that features Yi right now? That would put him in the extremely stressful position where if he doesn't perform well he will make the whole team worse.

Carter and Harris are the players that are equipped to handle that responsibility and they are doing a phenomenal job.

It surprises me that any New Jersey Nets fan would complain about that.

yes, I agree completely. Just because Yi scored 27 points in a game, people wants him to score that many to have a good game. that's just totally absurd. Right now if Yi stands in the corner and his defender has to stay close to him to take away his 3 point shots, he's contributing. If he comes out to set some screens and hand off for VC or harris, that's contributing. You want Yi to put up star like numbers when offense is not running through him, that's just unrealistic.

the Yi fan club won't accept rational complaints about "their" man. So now its the offenses fault. If you remember back in the olympics they complained it was the offense of the national team. Prior to that they complained it was the bucks offense, and Redd and Mo Williams who kept the ball from him. Poor Yi, here for less than 2 years and everybody discriminates against him.

But at least we know Yi inconsistency has nothing to do with Yi, its really everybody's fault. I think thats what they are saying....

I would agree with you if Anderson's stats were any better than Yi. The fact that Yi is the most productive out of all our PF is disturbing.

Also, the coach of the Chinese National Team said Yi was only there to play defense and rebound. Their main goal on offense to get Yao mismatches. If you want to drag all this old sh1t out, the Nets sucked last year w/o Simmons and Yi, this year it's improved. Just saying, you got to give some credit as well as make them the goat.

Yi gets nice looks in every game. I don't know why you guys are complaining.. sometimes he knocks the shots down, and sometimes he doesn't. Simple as that.
