    He still needs to dunk. You're not going to get a call by not going up strong and shooting fade away layups from 2 feet. That's stupid.

    It's because the defense is much tighter in the 4th quarter especially in the last 7-10 mins. I liked the penetration and dish to Yao and the dunk but there were some stupid long jumpers that he took too. Props to Chuck for the rebound/ tap out and the steal. Keeping hope alive.

    I dont need to check the stats, im watching the game. Yao is soft and please dont tell me otherwise. How many dunks he missed? He should be carrying people into the basket with him when he dunks. No more excuses for this guy.

    So 7 rebounds in a half is your definition of can't rebond. This sounds like a hater.

    Exactly, apparently losing a game 7 at home doesnt make him as mad as Rip Hamilton reaching in at halfcourt.

    It's called Yao is not explosive enough, his physical limitation, not soft. Soft guys don't band down low.

    Outside of 2 long jumpers, he has been within 15ft the whole game, and in first quarter drove hard at the rim about 5 seperate times. When you get him the ball on the wing, he is efficient.

    I also am loving the off ball plays set up for T-Mac.

    i aint no hater, i'm a realist. the dude is 7'6 , he should be grabbing 7 rebounds. Don't get me wrong, I like Yao. I just want him to be tougher tht's all.

    Exactly, I like Tmac but the phony ankle sprain is reminding me of the "injuries" in orlando. Magic fans still to this day complain about all the games he "quit" in.

    Anyway GO TMAC

    I am not a TMAC hater. It was just an observation. Tmac is one of my favorite players.

    7'6 again? How many 7'6 guy averaged more than 7 bords over his entire career? The height advantage works against mobility and reaction time, which is more important than height come to rebounds.

    sure he is, my theory still holds. You have less than 500 posts, obviously YOF who must have come from one of those Yao BBS. Just be happy if TMac is playing well! Geez
