    See, I've told you......... :cool:

    Being a great team mate and in personal good terms with Uncle Mutombo, Big Yao is there at the game with Minnesota Timberwolves with his crutches to witness the recognition ceremony of Uncle Mutombo at half time...... :D

    I miss Yao.

    I mean we would be one of the favorites THIS year if he was healthy....danged stress fracture.

    I knew him getting married would bring on more stress, it always does.

    ;)

    Read the following article from Zhang Yi of Sohu.com.

    http://sports.sohu.com/20080327/n255945919.shtml

    According to what Zhang Yi wrote, quoting Daryl Morey, General Manager of the Houston Rockets, a couple of updates that might be of interest to you all.

    • Carroll Dawson, currently consultant for Houston Rockets, had been asked to assist Big Yao in his rehabilitation.
    • Yao Ming also joined hand with Carroll Dawson on a project currently, which is reviewing/editing/analysing game replay video of the Houston Rockets and other teams. According to Morey, that would help Yao Ming to keep up his focus and alertness to the game, such that upon his return, he could gel quicker with his team mates and bring back more positive things to the team.
    • According to Morey, Big Yao is rehabilitating well; he came back to Toyota Centre unceasingly and persistently for his rehabilitation almost on a daily basis. He originally requested that he could come to every of Rockets' home game to rave and support his team mates on the bench, but his request was rejected by the doctors, cos it is deemed that it is not yet suitable that he moved too much around by the courtside, which had sort of upset Big Yao and made him unhappy.
    • He came to this game with Minnesota Timberwolves with special approval/greenlight from the doctors, as he wanted to come specifically to join this celebration/recognition ceremony of Uncle Mutombo.
    • He will also show up tomorrow night in the Annual Houston Rockets Tux and Tennies Charity Gala to show his support to Uncle Mutombo as all donations/auctions proceeds of the Gala will go to Uncle Mutombo's Foundation.
    So stay tuned for all my coverage/photos of the Tux & Tennies Charity Gala !!     :D :D :cool:

    Yao and this team is building into something very special. I am so damn proud of the Team and I believe they will prove themselves on the next road trip to be a true contender for the playoffs. GO Rockets !!

    So while the Rockets are away on their tough 5-games-in-8-days road trip, Yao Ming is working in the gym under the supervision of his personal trainer Anthony Falsone on his strength and conditioning..... :cool:
