    Yao should emulate KG and Duncan not Shaq.

    has yao missed yet against orlando this season?

    we've gotta get him some more games against them for confidence. they don't front him, they single team him, he actually gets fouls called for him. it's heaven for yao's game.

    I know it's early... but how in the world are we leading this 22-13 without T-Mac?

    Anyone hear Van say, "Looks to me like Yao plays better without McGrady"? Talk about pouring gasoline on the Yao Fan Fire.

    Uh, Yao is playing pretty good without TMac, how about if we trade TMac for a Point guard and a PF!:)

    Because Yao plays every bit like a franchise center in the mode of dream without TMac. Sad truth. Only hope that he can play like that with Tracy.

    That may be a new play for Yao in the offense where he pops out to the freethrow line to recieve a pass for a face-up jumper.

    I hope it is. Ever since Yao has rid himself of the brace he is money from there.

    Maybe i'm mistaken, but on the FSN broadcast I thought I heard some boos when Steve Francis was dribbling the ball. The crowd did cheer when he hit the basket but I thought I heard some boos when he got the ball. I hope not. If anyone boos Francis they are an idiot.

    Guess it's a mental issue. Yao knows he has to step up without Tmac, just like when he was with CNT.

    OK, no excuse not to go to Yao... the boy is continuing his red hot streak from the last few games... if Bowen takes a shot without looking to Yao first, bench him... if Barry doesn't look for Yao, bench him... if Sura ain't feelin' it and thinks he's TMac, bench him.

    LOL ... knew that would get you pissed. It is what he said ... just passing it along.

    The Magic really have no excuses not to pound the Rockets.

    Yeah, an 80% foul shooter should be allowed to take that. Nobody is going to block that either.

    yao stepping up has nothing to do with tmac being gone and everything to do with orlando's defense. he killed them w/o tmac last season, he killed them with tmac this season, and he's killing them again tonight. this is yao's dream matchup.
