    Yao should take precaution for this one,I bet he don't wanna end up with a season-ending injury at all when T-Mac and Ron Ron's closer to coming back.We're looking good if T-Mac back to his ol' self and Ron plays on his healthy foot. :D

    I'll relish the game when all healthy on the court.

    Like the Dream. Why not wear the knee pads and the elbow pads? Yao needs to think of doing this since he has been hitting the same spot the last 10 games. Need to be healthy for the playoffs.

    The only concern I have is will TMac be pain and limp free. We will all find out on Sunday and if he can play b2b.

    I thought the D cup included the ice pack(bag?) on the knee.

    The game will test him out and see what he's gonna respond. :cool: I'm right here waiting,hoping he's gonna bring me,us all fans,good news he's really back to ol' form,That'd be a fatabulous present as a Lunar New Year gift for me considering me as an Chinese.Hope it won't be any letdowns ahead,because it's easier said than done.

    I saw on tv where people like A.I. and Wade basically pad themselves up because they know their getting hit over and over. (albeit by phantoms or otherwise)

    I think Yao just needs to put some knee pads on. It wouldn't make him any slower footed than he is already.

    That Yao's knee was so swollen so quickly makes me nervous -- i'll be happy when that MRI exam is complete.

    I prefer a good set of ANGRY C cups....they seem to hold their form better.

    Ah...uh...what were we talking about?

    Having to watch the Spurs out here in the hill country these past few years, I know that's a "Brent Barry" comment!

    Hey, it's just a joke. It's not like somebody really measured knees' size of Yao. So stop scaring yourself and cursing Yao. Team doctor will take care of it.

    That is what I am WORRIED about...

    Remember last year? Remember McGrady? He bumped his knee with Josh Howard. Well, doctors said it is just a bump, nothing major. Well, the bottomline was, T-Mac needed a surgery.

    You guys are worrying over nothing, he bumped knees with someone. Those who play basketball know, that this happens alot of the basketball court and usually is not serious. If it was serious for Yao he would not have returned to the game and he probably would have fell to the ground in pain.

    Remember when Yao broke his foot? He played for a few minutes afterwards, and actually walked off the court on his own. Then, the MRI came back positive, and he was out for the season.

    In fact, let's get some hip pads and whatever else for all the players. I cringe every time Battier takes a charge, or Luis flops or pretty much anyone on the team falls to the ground.
