    No!

    Because the Yao is a modest person.

    Yeah, and that why Hakeem and Clyde were known as Phi Slamma Jamma back in University of Houston. Otherwise, they would have been Phi Jumpa Hooka.

    I guess J-Diddy was referring to Hakeem in the late 90's near the end of his career. Of course, that's not saying much in the first place.

    who's whinning?-- sure were 4-1 .. the only .500 team we beat was the nets.. and the grizzley beat us the other teams we beat were at the lower end.

    The rox is not gonna be able to make too many mistakes and have sub par shooting nights and win against the better teams.

    Yeah we've improved alot. We've beaten every crappy team with the exception of memphis.

    Its just too premature to evaluate how really good this team is. Not to mention that all of our opponents have been sub-par teams. Wait until we match up with some of the western confernece power houses.

    He's working on it.

    The one thing that I've seen different this year than last is that when Yao misses a shot, he goes up strong and GRABS the rebound with two hands and tries to power up the put-back. All the while, oppoents hanging on his arms. In the past they would throw him to the floor and Yao would have that "look" on his face. :(

    Today, he's is being more assertive. And he is working on his aggressiveness. I love that he got a tech last game. :D

    But part of Yao's problem is that he's just not a quick jumper; he needs to work on his explosiveness. With more training that should help.
