Yao Ming is a big, soft, above average center.

DaDakota · Feb 19, 2008

He had a lousy game, and I got a bit of a chuckle when he missed that easy dunk....

He looked jet lagged from the All Star game......no big deal....he will be back strong.

I am just loving that we are a TEAM.....you guys are missing the fact that the team won when Yao and TMac combined for something like 9-38...and that would have never happened in past years.

16-14 is still a double double. Wanna bet the Warriors with Biedrins would be really happy to see numbers like this. And...this is an off game for Yao.

ShadyMcGrady · Feb 19, 2008

Please tell me someone took over your computer? When we are losing or lose in the playoffs then you can complain about Yao's softness and T-Mac's whateverness but not now.

Everyone has bad games once in a while. It is frustrating to see Yao play soft sometimes but he has addressed it very well this season, even trying to take over the leader role of this team.

He's carried us all season, this 9 game win streak is no exception.

So, again, please tell me someone took over your computer?

but the only reason he gets so much hoopla is for his race and height. PERIOD....Honestly, i'd trade him for Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudamire, Eddie Curry, Elton Brand, Emeka OKafor, Bynum, possibly Camby.

So, you think an "above average, big, soft center" can be traded for Dwight Howard, Amare, et al.?

This guy can't even think straight, treating this board as a trash can to vent his failure in his life.

Anyway. Trade his ass? Maybe. For Howard, Stoudamire, Brand and possibly Okaffor, but i'd really be happier if Yao would finally make that step in not taking crap from people. Much that that other dude said on page 4 or 5, it's not on the officials to blow the whistle every time Yao gets slapped or fouled; they'd be having him shoot 30 FTs per. Instead, it's up to him to defend himself and earn the respect of his teammates.

U still don't get it, Mr. Horwad is 2-9 and 8pts tonight, why don't u go Magic board and start a soft, superman shxt, and trade his ass off thread there...

U are stupid period!

well, ... the rockets are my team.

would i trade him for Howard, Amare, Brand? Honestly, he would fit in better, yes. Ever notice how much better we look when Yao is on the bench sometimes? The beginning of the 4th, we were stomping on them. when Yao came in, he did nothing but contunue to make nervous turnovers and silly, extremely-famous, momentum-draining fouls.

Anyway, im gonna put my flame suit back on now since you seem to be set in believing im being a yao hater or whatever. i dont give a

and thats right, im not even bothering with anymore of '

What's the deal? To prove Yao is soft via this picture? By the way, don't you know it's a photoshopped one? Someone placed Yao's head in the picture.

I'm only stating FACTS. The man is soft and weak, but talented, and tall.

I ....ing hate to HAVE to admit it, but this tall p.... will do more BAD for us in the playoffs than anything. Ya, he'll score 20 and grab 10, but when we NEED them, he'll crumble into his make-up bag and sob his eyes out wondering why all these americans are picking on him. I so hope i'm wrong though, these are just my humble, open-eyed feelings.

Facts ??? Soft ??? Weak ??? Open-eyed ???

Centers like him are becoming instinct for a good reason. He's not atheletic, and he is too much of a liability. Don't get me wrong, he is an above average center, but the only reason he gets so much hoopla is for his race and height. PERIOD.

The guy is soft. He has times when he gets angry and throws down a dunk or powers his way inside, but 90% of the time, he's just soft and cannot get into the paint. He is talented at shooting and has a great touch.

His defense inside the paint, and his post-up moves are what make him a good center. His lankyness, clumsyness, softness, and chokeyness, are what keep him from being great and getting this damn team anywhere.

Honestly, i'd trade him for Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudamire, Eddie Curry, Elton Brand, Emeka OKafor, Bynum, possibly Camby.

I know how P Jack wants to use Yao. He wants to use him alot less than he's used to. Yao can be a huge factor to mix up the pace, or spread out the defense when NEED BE ONLY. He does need a double team at times, and of coarse this is good for the team, because it opens up the offense for the rest of the team, not Yao!(lol @ deke chanting the crowd after teh technical foul on landry).

I could go on with more insight and important facts, but this is already too long a read as most of you won't even be reading this much of what i've typed. Basically, Yao should not be our leader. I'm glad with him on this team, but it makes me sick how soft he is. I would like for Landry and Scola to get alot more minutes during the playoffs, as Yao will most likely venture into his nervous, soft, shakey habbits, and become nothing but a complete waste of a season for the whole team. Then again, him getting less minutes might do him some good. If he gets mad, that distracts him from being nervous.

I've said all these things after watching Yao play EVERY SINGLE game of his career. I root for him and hope he does great to this day and beyond. I'm only stating FACTS. The man is soft and weak, but talented, and tall.

chinese people believe anger is a weakness and Yao gets hammered and hammered nightly. He will never be a powerful force since he meditates his anger and frustrations away as these much smaller players continuously bully him around the block, and pwn hiim from every angle. He will show signs of anger at times, but he always reverts back to being the big gentle giant. IT's too late into his career to hope for him, or to pretend for him to ever be a dominant or powerful player.

I ....ing hate to HAVE to admit it, but this tall p.... will do more BAD for us in the playoffs than anything. Ya, he'll score 20 and grab 10, but when we NEED them, he'll crumble into his make-up bag and sob his eyes out wondering why all these americans are picking on him. I so hope i'm wrong though, these are just my humble, open-eyed feelings.

Well, you're right that the photo was a photoshopped one, but wrong that someone pasted Yao Ming's head into the photo.

You'd trade Yao for Curry?

...why can't we give threads a "zero" rating again?
