    Yao's shooting is noticebly off. Just no consistency in his jump shots which used to be automatic.

    It must be JVG's fault, somehow.

    Memphis is flustering Yao just like Phoenix did. And right now, Yao is deserving of every single bit of this humiliation. He has to learn to protect that ball.

    2:31 2nd quarter. Yao takes only 3 shots. Hmm...can somebody who's watching the game tell me why?

    In last 4 mins Rox passed the ball to Yao multiple times and each time Yao could not hold on to the pass.

    Every time they dish the ball to Yao, he loses it.

    Good Lord, Yao looks like he stepped onto the set of Space Jam. He looks like absolute TRASH right now.

    And don't even get me started on Slowmile.

    They keep forcing it to Yao when there's 3 around him. No wonder why he loses it. A couple of new plays to get him the ball would be nice too. We run the same exact play to get him the ball. I'm pretty sure other teams have picked up on it.

    I don't think it is his fault tonight. Every pass is to his left, or to his right. In my opinion the passes suck. He blew a couple, but i thought most them were sorry.

    Stromile is getting rebounds and deflections. Yao's flopping and he's been involved in every Rockets turnover.

    This is not an accurate statement. The entry passer bore at least as much blame as Yao, if not more. I saw one bounce pass at Yao's knee level by Barry and Swift each.

    Anyone else notice Swifts facial reactions when he was pulled out in the end of the 2 quarter. JVG walked up to him and was correcting him on something, swift wouldnt lookhim in the eye and made a mad facial expression...weird..

    Wow, Can YAO hang on to the DANG'OL ball?

    This is unbelievable. It's Rookie Yao again.

    If someone can explain why YAO is not handling passes (which seem to be decent tonight) please let me know.

    Lock up Yao and deny him food if he doesn't score at least 20 points in the 2nd half. :D

    The reason the passes are so far to the left or to the right is because Yao is unable to seal his man. The passers have to throw it further away from the defender (and Yao) or risk getting the pass stolen.

    When passing to Yao, remember fastball to the head.
