Got this off the Bleacher Report which got it from the Chron.. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-will-houston-rockets-center-return-this-week
Whoopty-doo. Now he just needs to not fall ever during games. No jumping either. And keep physical contact to a minimum.
he needs to play like brad miller (without the flopping of course). the team needs to implement a restriction order on players for yao: don't get within 4 inches of any player or you are benched. it will prolong his career.
I dont think it's a sure thing...this has been their best case scenario return date for the last week or so.
fwiw: Rotoworld: Yao Ming (leg) and Aaron Brooks (ankle) are still weeks away from returning, according to coach Rick Adelman. Yao is at least two weeks away still and Brooks may be out even longer with his ankle sprain. Holding Yao in a deep league might make a little sense, but in 10- or 12-team leagues, he's going to be more of a headache than he's worth.

i was on yahoo working on my nfl fantasy team, and he was trending on yahoo.com in fact, he is now trending as the number 1 topic. http://search.yahoo.com/search?cs=bz&p=Yao+Ming&fr=fp-tts-701&fr2=ps dont know what this site is. http://www.thirdage.com/news/yao-ming-return-playing-full-time-friday_11-28-2010
Durvasa, such comments do not help this forum. What is your point in spreading your radioactive negativity and hatred of Yao Ming?
What was my reaction supposed to be? There's no longer a reason to be optimistic about Yao, and I don't feel like pretending otherwise. And quite accusing people of hating Yao Ming. Its annoying.
I see. So if Yao helps the Rockets salvage this season, and even into a play offs run, will you then see your "reaction" was an impatient and presumptuous one? The season is not over, Durvasa. You forget your history. The Rockets have started the season poorly before also only to get hot, and end up with a strong season. We've only just begun.
If you arent a bit frustrated about the Yao being fragile as glass situation, you aren't really a rockets fan
The only "crap" I see is that thing you call a brain. The 24 minute rule is designed to protect Yao's foot. So far, it has worked, ankle injury notwithstanding. I believe Yao will return healthy, and so will Brooks, and both will help to lead the Rockets into a strong season. it's not how you start, but how you finish. If some of these negative thinkers were atheletes, they would never reach the NBA. They are far too negative people to overcome injuries and setbacks. They are mentally weak.
Yeah, I don't know if this is a good thing. We can't have guys depending on his comeback like they did when Tracy could actually play. Yao can't come in and put up 20 easily anymore. It's going to be a struggle to get him the ball, and teams are going to front the post pass, when it's obvious he doesn't have the speed. I would be more excited if AB was coming back first. Still, at least he's coming back, if this article is legit.
Apollo33, I fear you are losing your mind. Think about what you just said. Go outside, breathe in some fresh air, and try again.
