Who at the Nets is working with Yi on his post moves? If Yi is to become a good player then he is going to have to go inside at some point in his career. Yi ain't gonna shoot 64% from the field every game and will need to get to the FT line when he is struggling.
I hope Najera gets to start. The idea is to work the opposing starting PF to soften him a bit before Yi comes into the game. This might help Yi avoid his tendency to get into early foul trouble as well. LFrank did this with Simmons and Boone in the first game, bringing in the hot shooters behind them to face either the bit tired starter or the backup of the other team. When playing a rotation of ten this leaves our starters fresher in the fourth quarter when it really counts. Then we have the first team of Brook, Yi, and the hot SF to complement VC and DH to FINISH the game.
That's what I meant. Yi is outhustled and picks up two quick fouls in the first quarter. Wish Eddie was around, if not to start then to come in early.
