    Don't worry, be happy.

    No fear mongering allowed here.

    ;)

    Trust in the doctors, and they say he is good to go !

    1. Toe Infection which originally was not taken care of properly
    2. Improperly diagnosing an injury that occurred 2 months ago, where it ended up being his 1st stress fracture
    3. Rushing him to play in 2008-2009 after he just suffered a broken foot and playing him for prolong periods of time...was playing him 15 minutes straight in the 1st half necessary in the regular season? Granted he wanted to play in the Olympics

    I trust our doctors as much as I trust a car dealership service department.

    There is no other viable option at this point. The Rockets are rolling the dice on a fifty fifty odds with Yao Minga's health and I would place my bet on them. The 82 game season is grueling and all the frontline players in the NBA are gambling with their health themselves.

    Correction: Yao Ming's health (not Minga-typo).

    Oh, never knew that. Thought it was just pure coincidence that another coach was hired that had nearly the same name as our head coach. :p

    Your buddy who works on cars.

    I caught plenty of dealerships telling me i need to replace stupid crap and only to have my buddy look at it and say you don't need to do it.

    Example Car Battery replacement, they told me my battery only had 300 Crank left, my buddy used his meter and it told me i had 700 Crank. They also wanted $190 dollars for a Car Battery Replacement, something that takes 20 minutes to do it yourself at $75 dollars.

    Obviously if you have warranty you go back to the dealership.

    I'd guess that the nucklehead stubborn-as-nails inflexible JVG had at least something to do with stressing out Yao's body.

    No it doesn't.....

    Yao being 7'6" and 310+ pounds is the problem not the doctors.
