Yao beated Curry/James/Cato, and Lee was the 4th guy that they put on Yao.

so Yao CAN be stopped by that 4th guy, a scrub btw? Not good enough for the best center in the league if you ask me.

it was more a case of him being tired than anything

if you had to try to move jerome and curry and cato's ass for the entier game which combines to like 800pounds of muscle and fat..you will be tired as well

Yeah, unfortunately, this is what people will remember of Yao this night instead of him DOMINATING the opposing front court. Scrubs like Robinson make a living trying to make a highlight film that night, but at the end of the day, would still be a scrub that can't even start on a pathetic team like the Knicks.

But you know what, I don't think Yao even cares. People label Yao's personality as "soft" because he doesn't go "ghetto". But to me, he is more of a man because he doesn't. He refuses to go down to that level because he is above all that. It seems to be beneath him. And maybe that's why the majority of the "HIP HOP" league doesn't like him.

Yao is like a Chinese Dignitary, HE CAN'T BECOME A THUG. It's like asking one of our ambassadors to China to start wearing gold chains and gold teeth. Not the most distinguished image you want to portray. Yao already TRANSCENDS the sport, he is NOT a regular NBA player so he can't act like the normal NBA thug. HE HAS BIGGER AND WAY MORE IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITIES than to punk a little 5'8 scrub. People on this board has to see THE BIG PICTURE.

You are defending Yao Ming like he is your son. People really don't care if Yao Ming was blocked by Robinson as long as the rocket wins the game!

I think things like this are one of the reason's Yao gets so little respect around the league. Although people claim it's is race, I suspect it's plays like this that last in people's memories.

Regardless - it's the wins and stats that speak - and we won, and Yao dominated if not with a high shooting precentage - but by getting to the line and hitting a sick percentage.

BINGO, My Brother !!!!!

You could DEFINITELY See the entire team FEEDING off the energy - It trickles All the way, Up and down the lineup !!!!!

He takes a charge, almost make 2 incredible steals, stays in front of his man on D - takes the ball to the hole with authority, diving for loose balls.

All of a sudden - the whole team was playing with more passion.

This is just human nature !!!

Here's a vote for VSPAN getting PT in the 4th Quart.

He doesn't have to start - but I'd sure like him to finish !!!!

I just checked if I was on Knick's board. Otherwise, I would call a trade for Jowan/Pagget duo.

Good game Yao, good game T-Mac. Nice to see Stevey once again. Good luck Knicks rest of the way, but it's the Rockets year!

I think Yao is striving for higher ground then Patrick Ewing.
