    I stand corrected and humbled. Tis the Twolves who were in for a rough night at the hands of Yao. Also, Rafer made a number of much needed threes. I hope they can keep it going.

    No hes not. When you work your arse off for 20+ rebounds you do not have a "lack of heart" problem. He has no teammates to play with. Tmac has Yao.

    Well, he has to play the world championship during this summer. He will be tired to start next season.

    The six week he missed becus of his injury is key I agree.

    It's like a mini vacation. plus he got to learn about the misakes he was making while he was off -during the season- which helped his game when he got back right away rather than learning the stuff in the off season.

    I wonder without the toe injury would he have put up the numbers if he had to play those 21? games he missed?

    How could Yao missed 4 FT in a row? I could be cool when he missed 1 or at most 2, but it almost drive me crazy when he missed so many!

    You and Pgabriel should get a room :rolleyes:

    KG "lacks heart"? He is not a clutch player, I will give you that. But "he has no heart" is pretty stupid thing to say. He's a hard-working player, but I do agree that he's the most overrated -- and has been the most overrated -- superstar in the league for quiet some time.

    Just enjoy Yao's success RR without feeling the need to tear down another player.

    In Fact his teammates seem to ignore him alot

    Yao's playing has just been crazy. I mean, this is insane, totally insane.

    I notice that Yao is no longer out there chasing guards in the perimeter. I haven't been watching many Rox games lately so I want to know if it has been that way for a while? If so I think it is a big reason why his stamina and foul problem improve.

    Marcus Banks has made this quarter look a lot closer than it actually was.

    Talk about taking advantage of garbage minutes.

    Not tearing him down
    Just saying that they have a similar history
    GOOD Players but .. . . ..

    Well . .. I will say glad the Rockets have YAO

    he is a difference maker
    Glad Minn don't have Cassel. . . Cassel is a Difference maker
    not as much as Yao but he is one
