durvasa, 90% of people here are full of ****. They don't even watch TNT half time or Inside the NBA. Remember most of the Yao fans were pissed at me when I posted something about the Boston game earlier in the year when Yao had a poor rebounding game. Yao even criticized himself for his crap rebounding. Yao freaks started criticizing me. Then I tested to see if they even watched the game. I asked them how they felt when Yao got out rebounded by Len Bias. They responded like Len actually played that game. So don't be so shocked durvasa at the lack of credibility of some posters.
Yao and the Rockets have gotta a lot to prove. I'm encouraged by what I saw in the 1st game but unless they get past the 1st round and continue to do well after that,it will amount to 1 step forward,2 steps backwards. It doesn't matter to me what Barkley or anyone says about Yao's game or about the Rockets but I don't think there was any reason for Barkley to make personal comments about Yao at the beginning of this season.
Charles got nothing on Jim Rome in the jinxing department. Quick, somebody go pull that man's vocal cords out before he takes the last seat on the bandwagon...
Ive seen Barkley give due to Yao on numerous occasions. And usually when he says something bad about the team its more than likely the truth

I don't understand why everyone thinks we'd doomed because Charles is in favor of the Rockets. Chuck always doubted the Rockets in the playoffs; at the same time, the Rockets haven't been out of the first round in a long time also... hmm... Now Chuck is in favor, and we're doomed? That's not how I see it.
Good to hear it. But knowing what kinda person Barkley is, I never put much weight behind what he says. Good for him I guess.
If Tmac is out, Charles is in and onboard - that's how I see it. Whatever reservations CHuck has had about Yao in the past, are nothing compared to how he feels about Tmac.
I really don't get the Barkley hate. I love watching the NBA on TNT. I also don't think he's half as inept as a lot of the posters around here make him out to to be.
