    Are you kidding me? Yao took 10 shots this half! Not to mention that he's been playing poor defense, and not being physical on the offensive end. If it were up to me, he'd be getting as many touches, but less shots. He's done well passing the ball, but that's about it.

    Its hard to complain about Yao touches when he's 3 for 10... and he's had VERY good looks at the basket, since the Magic are playing him with relatively soft one-on-one defense (they even had Juwon Howard guarding him for awhile, and he didn't score).

    Waste of time playing Yao. Our Guards know just how to play and win for us. Yao is a Center we dont need but Cato does a very good job, he gets passes from the Point Guard and can dunk.Sit Yao Ming down and bring him back in three years when he learns to play with our Guards.

    did Yao get a Technical? I caught that on Yahoo GameChannel. What was it for? Did he actually mouth off or something?

    I believe you're insinuating at the comments about Yao's play... I don't think anyone's hating in here, I just think we're pointing out that he's had better games against better defenses.

    We should also realize that we never seem to go the other way enough (hating on somebody to being pro about them)... ie, Steve Francis has been AWESOME today.

    Yao looks pathetic. I am really curious how he could be soooo easily tired after 3 no game days?

    They are just doing a good job of pushing yao outside his comfort area in the paint. He is not able to get down deep in the post lke he is used to...that is causing him problems.

    because that's three days of JVG practice. Ask the players and I'm sure they'll say those practices were tougher than the Nuggets and Bulls games.

    Francis and Mobes are realy playing well to-night, especially the Cat he has refused Yao Ming when he calls for the ball only four times so far into the gaame, great team work.

    Yao is proving my point tonight. He is a part time player.

    Actually, they're not pushing him at all (Steven Hunter is not that strong)... Yao looks out of sync, and he's missing a point blank hook shot each time.

    Now, he just made one with his LEFT hand... maybe he figured out the problem!

    you got to be kidding me? Like i said before one bad game versus the rest of the good games he has had....So Orlando should trade McGrady since he only scored 4 points last night too?
