    Matt Bulard - 610 Sports Radio

    Pretty interesting interview. Bullard said Yao and T-Mac are fine together, chemistry is still pretty good but the problem is consistency. I belive him.

    Most fans won't believe they are fine unless they kiss and hug each other unfortunately.

    It's all just a ploy! Tmac is just biding his time, watch him to ISO Yao Ming as soon as he recovers :rolleyes:

    Its a good interview, but it does sort of contradict what Doc Rocket says

    HAHAHA

    I'm going to believe Doc Tracy probably said something stupid

    like he always does

    not that i know yao personally, but watching him all these years and being a chinese (with similiar upbringing and family background) myself, it's just extremely out of character for me to see yao turning against his comrade in such a manner...no matter how horrible t-mac is...

    Having spent some military time in Taiwan, I agree it's out of character for Yao to bad-mouth a teammate, especially publicly.

    in what a manner?

    Can't Chinese stop talking to a lazy colleague and want him out?

    As a Chinese, I see the ubiquitous office feud and don't find it out of character at all. And trust me, Chinese can make it way more uglier.

    That is because Yao has good character. Unlike some of these two faced fans that would smile in your face while they stab you in your back. :p

    Whatever his background, Yao now works the way of NBA.

    Let's NBA!

    It is power hour with Matt Bullard on 610 every Thursday. But I don't know the time.

    Is Bullard an extremely plugged-in person?

    Doesn't Bullard get his paycheck from the Rockets' organization?

    Even Fran Blinebury has said he doesn't believe anything serious is going on between Tracy and Yao.

    This is what I think happened, based on what I can piece together. Yao was not happy about McGrady's lack of effort in the Toronto game -- something I'm sure a lot of Rockets were probably complaining about. T-Mac might have made some comments subsequently about Yao needing to be "tougher" and dunk more in the paint. Yao probably told some people that McGrady needed to stop talking, as he is in no position to judge. Yao may have offered some support to the idea that McGrady takes time off away from the team to get his act together. Couple that with known fact that McGrady doesn't really socialize with anyone on the team, including Yao, and you have this rumor -- "They don't talk. Yao wants him out."

    Last time I checked games weren't won by players hugging and kissing before games, or the amount of high fives or words of encouragement thrown each others way.


    If I wanted drama, I'd flip on 90210 or the OC or something
