We are very good even w/o yao. But IMO, we will feel bad if we lose any of the past few games w/ yao in the lineup.

I think we still win these games with Yao. I think Adelman knows the guys well enough that he just changes the strategy around with who is in there. Novak filled in during the 2nd quarter because Landry wasnt available.

This team would look a lot different with Yao.

The ball movement wouldn't be as good, and that's a key to the Rockets success.

I'm not saying that this team is better without Yao, but this team is definatly more exciting and fun to watch.

I hope Yao is enjoying as much as we are, he should (I have no doubt about it).

We would win with Yao, and T-Mac wouldn't have to play 48 minutes. C'mon, that ain't gonna hold up. When we play the Lakers, Boston, New Orleans again, then Golden State, is T-Mac gonna have to play 48 minutes 4 games in a row to give us a chance? Not happening.

Really? Does the ball movement become good since Yao's absence or since the All star break?

Well, we had just won 12 straight with Yao ... so I don't know why anyone would think we couldn't win the last 7 with him too. None of these 7 teams were really elite (Dallas and New Orleans both missing an all-star), so I think we would have been favored to win every one of them with Yao.

ironically, thats what everyone else said when Rocket was doing well during T-Mac's absence.

How about trade Yao for Pau Gasol?
I think Lakers would like to do that.

??U making no sense here.Ok 1.We won 12 in a row with yao including blowing out NO.2.Yao is a 20 and 10 guy.3.The ball was moving just fine in those 12 wins with yao.4.What does yao have to do with a fast break??we have four other players and yao gets in on fast breaks on occasion.Yao is a Center doesn't need to be on fast break.5.We would of still won these gms with yao.

the ball was moving just as good then TMAC was out and every one said trade TMAC. Now TMAC is in and YAo is out and the ball is moving just as good and now it is trade YAO.

Imagine if we could play with both of them on the team even if both of them were not on the court at the same time how much better would we be.
