If you read my other posts, you'll see that I agree with you.

I've said time and time again... teams will stop hovering around Yao when these guys show that they're capable of making a simple 10-15 ft. shot.

Right now, the only guy on this team I have confidence in doing that is Mo Taylor.

Padgett subbed for Cato. Hmm...wheres Yao? he's a bench warmer now it seems. he might as well bring a game boy advance and play games with nachbar during the game.

Padgett scored 6 points in almost no time. Maybe Yao should just sit on the bench and play Game Boy.

Yes, what a great loss!!! Let that be a lesson to those who think this team can win by ignoring the big man! Can't even beat a .500 leastern conference team!

They want freaking guard-oriented games. They get it.

Too bad there ain't that many stupid audience buying tickets to see them.

First time for me, but I start to think that maybe it is best to trade Yao. It serves several purposes:

1) This team has no idea how to use Yao, so get someone they can use.
2) Definitely it will benefit Yao.
3) We will stop the bashing back and forth between Yao-fans and Yao-haters. And we get a chance to see where this team is going without Yao.

Personally, I believe it will be a huge loss for the team. But if JVG and guards are not using Yao, what can be worse? Right?

I would boooooooooooo the $*** out of them if I was there and I wonder why people continue to showup and watch this crappy ASS team. Every time t hey play I watch these games and more and more I am not realizing why I do.

Why the hell does Taylor shoot so much!! He had that one good game, now he thinks he's Dirk. Even before that game, he shot too much.

hes having a great season and hes on a hot streak AND he was 7 for 13 you tard. you are banned from giving opinion for the next 3 games. watch the games but keep your trap shut until you can say something that doesnt embarass yourself and your mother.

Haha according to the boston commentators, he's already on the trading block and that Ainge should give Les a call! Funny how everyone can see the rox misuse of Yao, but the rox themselves. It's pathetic really.

steve got 19/7/7... guess he will be very satisfied with his stats...

I agree. it is best to trade yao for a decent center and a decent PF rather than sittin his big ass on the bench....
