    I blame Yao's play in China for though I don't blame Yao for wanting to play in China. I do think playing year-round significantly shortened his career though.

    Great to hear Gordon's feeling okay. Hope it keeps up. He looked great last night.

    Yeah. Playing year round was bad for him. I always wondered if they gave him a choice or forced him to do it.

    EG did look good!

    I'd say it's both. He shouldn't have gotten so muscular or played year round.

    He normally goes down with some mystery injury around the trade deadline. Or when he's being discussed in trades he either tanks his value by playing bad or sitting out with a random injury.

    Yao had to do it. In my opinion, he had no real choice in the matter. I've always thought that he shortened his career. Who knows? Maybe it made no difference, but I don't believe that.

    Yes, Eric looked great! :cool:

    I get what your saying but I get the feeling that they planned to have Eric for 24-26 min and he let it be known in the 3rd that his knee was sore and they shut him down.

    I get what your saying about him being needed in those spots because he was. He single handily got us Back in the Game in the 1st quarter.

    But imo there is no way MDA wouldn’t have saved some minutes for the 4th If there really was a 20 min limit.

    i mean there isn't really a way you can foresee that being on a low minutes cap. In the end its good both sides didn't over react and no setbacks occurred. They should of won that game without him regardless as they let another one slip away.

    I highly suspect that Yao playing for the Chinese National team wasn't 100% voluntary.

    Lmao at our commentators for hyping up us finally being fully healthy last game.

    Sikeee, Gordon, Faried and Shump out, Harden shooting like a blind dog with a busted shoulder and wrist.
