[Chron] Yao to miss his first game of the season

Thank god Yao didn't play tonight.

 

I could accept the Jazz loss (without Yao) if Boozer and the inside players killed us, but it was the perimeter guys that hurt us down the stretch.

no excuse for that.

 

Lost this game without Yao.

 

What his status????

 

i hope Yao comes out on fire next game , to make up today's loss.

 

Any update?
We just cannot afford a loss to GS.

 

kick your ass No.6

 

Rockets lost the game finally...

 

Must be contagious since everyone else is choking as well.

 

Now you see why Yao averages 37 minutes. Rockets can't stop inside baskets without him.

 

I think the late scratch of Yao threw off Adelman's game plan. Adelman had Yao playing in mind and suddenly Yao's no-go. Bad luck and bad timing.

 

Why even have Deke then? I thought the whole reason we have Deke is in case Yao goes down?

 

I said it before and I will say it again, Deke was a bad signing, he doesn't fit at all.....

But, it was a good marketing move.

Deke isn't for when Yao goes down. Deke is only there for defensive stops against good matchups for a few minutes. Deke doesn't want to play starter minutes. That's one reason he came to play with Yao, instead of a team where he can start at C.
