Your guess is as good, or if not better than mine's or anyone else's. That's been biggest conundrum of the last 5 years is how to keep Yao Ming healthy.

In 05, he had the rotting toe (osteomyelitis) and that injury where Okur landed on his foot (freakish injury)

In 06, he injured his right knee.

In 07, it was the stress fracture.

In 08, it was the stress fracture sequel.

In 09, it was the (hairline) stress fracture trilogy.


Outside of the stress fractures, his injuries have been fairly normal and ones that he could recover from in a relatively short period of time. Remember, players his size often go are not really built for a long haul career. It is understandable carrying all of that way in such a small frame. I think this might be the last of his serious injuries unless an external circumstances happen to him like a violent collision or blunt trauma to a weak body part.

 

This is why offseason GARM is the place to be.

More threads like these plz.

 

You know it's the off season when...

 

I think the song actually makes the most sense this year ... "the final piece of the puzzle has arrived ...". Always loved it and don't know why they don't play it.

 

On all seriousness, he should never play more than 30 minutes a game, maybe 35 in the playoffs and overtime.

 

New trainers and black everything

 

Playing him less than 25 minutes a game wouldn't hurt. Let's hope Les makes that point very clear to Rick. Very clear.

 

Yes sir it is

 

Nahhh.... The reason was TMac was brought to the H-town afterwards.

 

Play him smart.
When Yao was struggling to get the ball, basically he was wrestling with other players. He was getting tired quickly.
Adleman needs to figure out a way to give him the ball easily, and Yao don't have to play as first option, it may reduce Yao's contribution, but as long as he can play defense, it should be ok with even the current roster of Rockets.

 

How about get younger somehow...

or perhaps...

the floors at the new place are defective? That would explain the reason people are always getting hurt... maybe too much impact.

 

He can't

So Japan is to blame? It makes sense.

 

Bosh!

or a damn good backup....plus more weapons on the floor.

too easy to focus everyone on Yao when there isn't anyone else who can clean up
