[Houston Chronicle] RICHARD JUSTICE: Give Yao his due and then some

While I appreciate what Padgett gave us when he was a Rocket, we need more talent than what he would give us at this point...

 

"Our coaches helped me a lot," Yao said. "They didn't let me waste my time. They sent me a lot of film of my game and the Rockets games. They told me what I needed to work on. I wasn't just relaxing. I was learning a lot."

Very interesting. Yao came back from his injury playing like a guy who seemed more aware of his past mistakes and determined to correct them. Now it's clear why.

 

yeah, a whole month of nothing but watching film, and hopefully sieltnly cursing at himself for letting chumps like Dan Gadzuric push him around.
