I don't what game you guys were watching. Yes Rox did win. But Yao was not that great. His conditioning in fact was very bad. A lot of times he walked the court and looked really tired and lost. Also Duncan did not try that hard. I still don't see Rox will beat Spurs in regular season.

I watched the game on ESPN and then I saw Shaq in the following game. That was real domination.

Yao still has a long way to go even though I am a Yao-only fan.

Yao was tired yesterday, because JVG want it that way. He played Yao for over 20 minutes in first half. I don't think that is the way to play any big guy. These 300 pounders play 8-10 minutes at most and then they need to rest. Yao played the end of 1st qtr and the whole 2nd qtr, then in 3rd qtr, he was out of gas. Of course, JJ was red hot, and Mochiee passed serveral oppertunities to feed Yao down low, so Yao just gave himself a break there.
JVG was just using the game to improve his conditioning. When regular season starts, I expect Yao to play about 32 minutes, 10 minutes at most a time, and towards to end of the season, go up to 35 minutes.

Yao does need to improve his conditioning and obviously Duncan had nothing to prove but Yao is looking much more confident than last year and that is a great sign for us.
