Guys, no matter what you think, I have a feeling that Yao is gonna break out this year in a big way. With T-Mac's out right now, it might just ignite the fire in Yao. I mean, there's a huge difference in this year's Yao by looking at his demeanor. He seems to finally realize that there's no one in the league that can stop him, and he'll dominate each game barring some bad refereeing. Notice how he no longer wait to make his move, he gets into position early and once the ball is there, he just make his offensive move and it usually is very effective. His shot blocking has also improved in small ways, I believe Yao has work on his rebounding and defending in the summer. If Yao could average 37+ minutes, Rockets are golden for a championship with TMac.
