LOL. Sad to say, but that's the first thing I said to myself when reading that line.

Yao is not atheltic freaks like TMac or Francis, but when he really jumps plus his height he is better rebounder. Remember Yao's 27/22/5 games against the Suns, he jumped and go after the rebound. Now seems like his legs are not 100%, the past 2 games he just try to box out and use his body instead of really going after the ball.

Before all the injuries, the Rockets hit a peak that was exhilirating. It was hard not to see them as a geniune "dark horse" for advancing in the playoffs. Now, quite frankly, they are out of gas. TMac will light up some scoreboards, BUT Ming appears spent (he has used up his two or three impressive performances for the year), Sura is a shadow of his earlier self, PF is by committee and there are not enough voting members, Wesley is on fumes, James looks motivated, but can't make a layup, and, well, I am planing for an early exit, especially if they slip in the standings. The team has been very entertaining, has shown some real chemistry, but simply needs better and younger players. Contender status was fleeting.

Sadly, solid, I think you're right. I'd like us see us at least get out of the first round, but then it might be even more frustrating to see us lose.
