Yao, it's your fault that you didn't speak up when JVG was let go; it's your fault that you didn't defend Tracy when the whole locker room went against him, otherwise things could be handled much differently to have Tracy help you out in the play off; it's your fault that you didn't express your true attitude when Rafer got traded. So don't cry if you feel like the Adelman is setting you up to fail. Fans think Adelman will leave Houston before Yao does. But things could change very quickly, Tracy is being shopped, I won't be surprised if Shane is on the market this off season either. So next season when you become a 13/8 blue collar defense specialist, you are no longer the Mr. Untradable, because the new three headed monster in Houston is Artest, Adelman and his step son. The team was built around you, Yao. So do what a leader is supposed to do. Simply being a nice man or side kick in America doesn't work. Sorry guys, i am so disgusted seeing how Yao was used in the Laker game... Play 20 minutes non stop in 2nd half and get benched in the last three minutes, only 12 attempts and you have coach says no Yao doesn't need more shot, wtf... To see Yao's face at the end of the game makes me even more angry. He's such a genuine and hard working guy who probably assumes every coach works as hard as JVG and every player work as hard as he does. But that's not true, people have different agenda. Yao, you deserve better but at the same time it's also your RESPONSIBILITY to be the leader, to speak up, to guide the team to Championship, simply because how much Houston has invested in you.
i don't think he got any chance to speak up before the trade although he is the current franchise player The management and coach set him up to fail ... if so it's a right choice to leave houston
I didn't say he had a chance to deny the trade. But he could still let them know he didn't like it after the trade. In stead he went the other way and said he understood, blah blah...
STFU.....a coach is like a doctor....do you wanna tell the doctor whats wrong with you? HELL TO THE NO.....that's the kinda doctor i dont wanna go to. Coach are there to tell player weaknesses and strengths
Ohhh shut up already. Why should Yao speak out for a sorry azz player like Rafer!! Why should Yao speak out for an injure-prone lazy no defense Tmac?? Why should Yao speak out for the stagnant no offensive movement in JVG as coach?
not after this game, but it was a comment from Adelman after one of the game recently played. yeah, a little emotional i agree, as I typed this right after, thought I'd post regardless.
understood. emotions imo are good for being a fan. i'm just curious to see when adelman said that. do you have a link? 'cause i don't remember ever seeing that.
