    As much as I want to see Ming play. He is not physically ready yet to play 3 quaters a game. He was too tired the forth quater to battle for the position like he did in the second and third quaters. His teammates were trying to give him the ball, but he couldn't get himself into a good position, which also cause a lot turnovers and hesitations for his teamates. Most time I saw him just stood there with Najera beside him. It's not like that Najera can defend him, Ming was just too tired to move. Rockets could be much better off to play Cato or Collier in the forth quater.

    It's been consistent throughout the games (starts from the world championship games), his number always drops in the second half after he is getting tired. So I think it's better to just play Ming second and forth quater.

    He needs a lot of improvement on his stamina, even he said that after the game. Physically, there is a lot of difference between chineses and americans, which has a lot to do with thier eating habits. It's more important to improve his stamina than his upper body now. It could be a long time for that to happen, but if it ever happens, nobody can stop him.
