    Not only is Yao the most efficient scorer on the team, at this point he is the only rocket that can get a decent shot in the half court offense (except for flashes from landry and scola). Not to mention the complete lack of interior defense without Yao. A little scary how much we can bog down without him.

    Yao team for sure no more questions even if someone has a better game than him here or there it is ovious he is the best player on the team and the offence will continue to run though him.

    The Dream has always stated this team should be Yao's team to lead. Yao needs to step up and take charge from here on out.

    TMac is just a shell of his former self, he is slower than dirt with the ball.....

    Wafer should have been in late.

    Did Yao ever get an MRI?

    I assume not since nothing was reported. Or maybe they're still waiting for the results??

    I believe he is fine. He wanted to play in the Pistons game but Keith Jones held him out.

    no there is no more question: this is rick adelmans team PERIOD!

    his system has hurt two of his three big players cause they just cant play in his system of "every1 touches the ball on every possession"

    iam not blaming adelman but rox just have to decide: its either his system with only yao as the ball stopper on offense OR its jvg system where tmac controls the ball and runs the offense as in years past

    at this stage of there careers i say let tmac and artest leave and just rebuild with adelman system around yao and rest of role players like rox did in 94

    its not players fault u cant ask a leopard to change it colors (see iverson) u either fit the system to ur players or get the players that fit ur system. rox problem is they refuse to do either one and are stuck in a state of confusion and denial

    too much incompatability with rox big three and adelman running the show

    just trade tmac after this season and artest before the trade deadline and lets cut the drama and move on

    Yea, my concern is that I don't believe X-rays pick up bone bruises (which despite the term "bruise" can put a player out of commission for weeks or months), torn ligaments, a torn meniscus, etc...

    His knee reportedly swelled up a lot within an hour or two after the knee bump. That kind of swelling usually indicates something serious to my knowledge.

    it doesn't matter whose team it is. The key is teamplay, good ball moving. When we are not playing at good pace, it's 1 against 5, and we don't have anything to compete with the better teams in the league. And look at those best teams in the league. They all play very nice teamwork.

    Yao's team or not, this team just does have a chemistry to win a NBA title. A big trade or a change of the coach? The problem is that both are less likely to happen, so just follow a playoff team which is trying to pass the first round, no more, and no less.
