    Whoopty-doo.

    Now he just needs to not fall ever during games. No jumping either. And keep physical contact to a minimum.

    Couldn't find this news anywhere on the Chronicle website. Bleacher Report isn't a credible source.

    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.

    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. Nov. 26 - 6:07 pm et

    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.

    All out Yao or no Yao at all. Don't want this 24 limit, no back to backs, crap.

    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.
