Instead of feeling bad for Yao, he could have contributed and helped him in the series against the Jazz.
Good article on Battier. Nice to see him getting some national media attention. It's hard to believe that if the Heat win, Battier will be the first Duke player with titles in both the NCAA and the NBA.
Last part of the article: Two more wins and Battier will become just Coach K's second player from Duke with an NBA title – and the first Duke player ever with NCAA and NBA championships. Which would he consider sweeter? “I will tell you if it happens,” Battier said.
go **** yourself ring chaser. People need to remember this. Don't bring up T-mac either because he averaged 35 ppg that series.
That series was on Rafer and the bench from a production standpoint. Look at Game 7. Shane had a "big" game, T-Mac and Yao did their thing....
the year i thought we can really win a title was 2007 2008 year before Yao went down. We were killing everybody. what if?
...by patting Yao on the back and saying "good try big guy" after Boozer grabs yet another critical offensive rebound?
Huge effin Sigh.... What could have been and what should have been. I blame Kobe for that one year he collided knees with Yao. I wish Kobe would have gone down instead of Yao.
Oh grow up. Should players not want to play for championships? Let us remember that he wanted to remain a Rocket. He didn't want to get traded. I'm not going to blame a guy for going to a team that wants him that also happens to be a championship contender.
