You could certainly weed out this forum based upon the class or lack thereof of posts in this thread.

Thanks a lot for everything , Mr. Yao Ming.

I am devastated, again.

 

The guy's given his heart for this team, and we've just got the news that he's pretty much done. And all you can do is rant on how he sucks and we should have dumped him.
In all sincerity, to rant like this now makes you a pathetic bum.

 

...or maybe the foot just doesn't hurt bad enough to him, so he thinks he can play. I wish other players had his heart...a lot of them sit out because of hangnails for pete's sake.

 

you guys don't have to reply to the TOF.

 

Unsurprising turn of events. In any case, the rockets won't have to worry about his return to the line-up affecting their chemistry. Such chemistry as it currently is, anyway.

 

Dont feed the trolls. and remember the ignore button

 

ok, it's time to let go. he will never play half a season anymore.

sad, but that's reality

 

"Tank" time.

 

The good guys never wins out these days, Roy...Yao...

 

Crazy, I just posted about him sitting out this All-Star game to rest/focus on coming back. I didn't wish for this injuries to happen though, honest!

 

you're right.

Time to get loaded

 

I feel sorry for Yao. He was a very good player but his body just cannot handle running up and down the court anymore. Maybe the Rockets should copy the model that every other franchise is doing, get a power forward and convert him to a center. The era of "back-to-the-basket" centers are over.

 

well, that's the lump of coal in our stocking...

 

I hope he retires so Les doesn't have to worry about even thinking about signing him for the China cash.

Time to move on.

 

ouch, oh well, knowing how hard yao had worked, it's just sad

 

Amen to that, thats the only thing that is a down fall to players like Yao, Roy, and "he that is not to be named" deal with. They want to play so much, rush back for the good of the team, but they end up doing more harm than good to their bodies..and the team.

Goodbye sleeping giant. You were the reason I became a hardcore Rockets fan. You were so fun to watch. Hope you recover.. in whatever sense.

 

Well we can resign him for the minimum next season if his career is not over.

For now he's a nice big expiring contract. We'll see if Morey can get something Mcgrady-style with it. It will be much harder with the new CBA and no teams like the Knicks trying to gather cap space for a big free agency.
