Dude lasted as long as he could for us this seaoson. Played 77 games , another 9 playoff games. Got us to teh 2nd round, but it appears this was our ceiling. I feel we shut up alot of people by beating the Blazers. Getting outta the 1st rd was just a great feeling, I am very greatful for this season and what we accomplished. DA has got some serious questions for this team with the futures of Yao, TMac, and Ron. We love you Yao !
All I have to say right now. Is anybody who calls him soft, anybody who calls him a loser, anybody who calls him anything negative should burn in hell seriously. Nobody not even Rocket fans have been appreciating what he has done in the NBA. Nobody appreciates how good he is and nobody appreciates how tough he is. Sadly, It will take the day he retires when people will appreciate him. Win this for the best center in basketball and now the best human in the NBA now that Deke is retired.
Best wishes to Yao's rehab! Great player and great person! Honestly, I don't feel too bad for him. After all, the rockets passed the 1st round this year. Yao had a great year!
I think we do need an appreciation thread. Big guy had a hell of a year. He was a constant for us in a season of turmoil. Imagine how he must feel right now? Thanks for the great season Yao.
appreciate yao for the year he provided for us. i will always remember his epic game 1 performance v. the lakers. get better yao.
So Yao only gets an appreciation thread if he dies or retires? We should give the man his due everyday given his accomplishments this season.
His season and soon the Rockets season is over though. We are done like dinner. Plain and simple. Just so sad, Barkley and Kenny were saying we had a pretty good chance winning it all. Yao out for season again. This is just sad.
You exaggerate way too much... Appreciate Yao on the fact that he led us to the 2nd round with HCA or a 2-0 lead. Get healthy... (Is a healthy Yao a myth?)
he is not done yet, guys. just look at big Z. he needs to develop a mid range jumper now. i think all the low post abuse really hurt his body. just need somebody to create for him to make it easier for his body. i would say, give me a 8 million dollar a year contract or something like that. get somebody that can create.
Pop some bubbly big man. You made it to the second round, and did all you could from there. We appreciate you, and chronic injury couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
No, I don't and I don't need people who think they are right all the time telling me anything. Yao Ming is under-appreciated probably always will be with T-Mac only fans creeping up around here.
Luv u Big Man... get well soon. Please stop playing so much ball and let that body heal. Everyone else calm down.
Good Luck Yao, and thanks for getting us out of the 1st round.....We got that monkey off our backs, now lets kill the injury bug uh?
I think we might have a hex or something. Every year Yao or TMac gets injured. This year, both went out. I can't believe Yao lasted this long, especially with the Olympics last year.
