I saw AK47 play the other night versus the Mavs, and you guys are right, he does not look the same at all. I'm positive that he's still around 70-75% healed. He was not explosive at all. It looks like he ran okay, but leaping was not there, he even missed a couple of layups that would have been sure fire dunks a few months ago.
TMac will have his hands full with Ak47, who was outstanding last night in a loss against Boston. Yao needs to take full revenge against Collins, a troll who made Yao a non factor in the first game against Utah this season.
Boozer was not playing Friday and probably won't play Sunday, Raul Lopez is out for the season. Collins always gives Yao a hard time but I think it will be different this game. I saw the Utah/Celtic game on Friday and the Celtics with the addition of Toine and this kid Delonte West running the point have definitely improved. GP isn't needed back there. The Jazz came back from 10 down to within 1 with a couple of minutes to play and almost pulled it out, shows you can't take any game for granted. Rox win 97 - 88
For those without cable.... Rox vs Utah game will be shown on Telemundo, Channel 47 here in H-town. If u dont speak spanish then just turn up the 610 broadcast. Also, todays Heat vs magic and tomarrows Raptors vs Lakers game will be shown on the same channel. Viva Yao y T-Mac...
