Here's their responses to Yao's play so far: http://forums.lakersground.net/viewtopic.php?t=21052&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75
Bill Walton: Yao Ming has never had the benefit of a great coach. Will he ever get that chance? We will see. Snapper: JVG and Patrick Ewing will never speak to you again. Classic
Walton is just becoming like many of the posters here.... trying to be popular, and saying something that sounds cool... but really makes absolutely no sense. Yea, the Rockets suck this year because of the coaching. Yea, Yao is a beast this year because he did it all by himself, and had no good coaching. Yea...
One more thing... Phill Jackson has possibly the most talented player in the NBA, and yet he can't "coach" them to any better than a seventh seed in the conference, with relatively ZERO injury problems. Yea... great coaching breeds automatic success.... yea .

I happen to like how our team stands up and cheers for their teammates...this is about teamwork and a team game after all. How dumb for the bench to give support
I wouldn't be suprised if he does. He's going on and on about Yao not having any FT's (because he's trying to criticize him about something), but Kobe has ZERO FT's as well... and I think that's an even bigger "feat".
