They did a good job throwing more than one defender at him. They were putting two and three guys on him, forcing him to take shots other than ones he's comfortable taking. They did a good job of that. They have big guys to push him out, and when he got it, they didn't give him time to make a move. They were right on top of him.

That's the first time I've seen that. I guess they wanted to stay out on the perimeter and guard us and guard him one-on-one. I guess they see that's kind of hard to do.
We're professional athletes; we got to fight through it. We're just not making shots. That's what it boils down to. They're sending two and three guys to Yao. We have to make shots.
I thought about it. But if he went down and makes a tough shot, we're still up one. I didn't think they'd call that foul. I just saw him make a tough shot.
Once he gets going, he'll get his looks. Guarding a guy like that ... he's tough. He shot the ball 34 times. That's almost like every time down the court. I had to be ready for him to put it up. It was a tough assignment.
It's really tough. I felt like all the shots I was taking were going in, but when it was time to make the easy bucket, it didn't fall for me. I rushed it. I had a bad angle. But I should have made it.
We've got to make the shots when they double-team Yao. That's what it comes down to.
When a guy is rolling like Yao is right now, we're just trying to get him the ball and play off of him. He's the main guy offensively. If we can get him the ball and play inside-out, that's what we're going to do.
