    Do you blame Yao for the bad performance due to him even after a great win in which he acturally dominated the game?

    Do you tend to intentionally overlook his outstandings and good games?

    Do you critisize on Yao regardless how much he contributes to the game?


    Yes, u do as I somehow got the answer from the warriors' post-game analysis thread. So...may I have the pleasure to call you YOH? TOF? or whatever could be named on a Yao hater?

    Cant we just leave these YOF or TOF words alone. Now it's like our stars are fighting with each other on the court for every hard win and their fans are fighting to each other on this forum for ...for what? Can u tell me what u r fighting for?

    You see Yaomania is dead pretty much. Pryuen is usually the only one doing the postings. That's why Clutchfans is the place to be!

    YOFs are annoying. Your hatred towards them is scary.

    How does it feel to live with hate? Do you punch yourself every night before you go to bed.

    A sensible post. But you are trying to get through to a knucklehead whose only purpose here is to polarize this board and create tension among the posters. What will this kind of r****ded threads achieve anyway other than causing more pissing matches between the posters?

    Why do you have to be destructive to this board, v3.0? You are a moron.

    This poll is biased. Obviously there are more options needed such as:
    A Yao-dominant ROX win.

    T-Mac was spectacular in that series, but Yao wasn't bad. Sura was ok, but he didn't really make difference like the first two did, same goes for Wesley, Barry, and Howard.

    It is Team game, but other teams are so talented that he is going to have to dominate a little to beat most. I doubt win two games against the Spurs, Suns, Mavs, Lakers, or etc. If he doesn't score around 25 ppg and 10 rebs. Plus, superstars become even more important in the playoffs, what would be the purpose of having them if they are not performing at the best of their abilities.

    I know it sounds a bit touchy, but centers more than other position need to dominate in the playoffs, because of slow pace. And considering the match-up he will have he should get opportunity to. I doubt T-Mac will match the likes of C-Melo, Kobe, or Lebron, point for point.

    I am not advocating Yao shoot 20 or 30 times a game.

    But, if you look at most teams that have went deep into playoffs or won a title. At some point time their best players had to dominate. Team ball is great, it works and what every team needs.....but their needs to be superstar who gets the ball at crucial times in the game.

    honestly, i'll take a 25 win rocket season where yao averages 30 pts 15 reb rather than a 50 win rocket season where yao's at 20-10

    I voted the "team" option and I'm sure Yao would choose this one.

    I don't care if Yao gets 100 points or 1 as long as he contributes to the rockets getting the W

    There was no choice for me???? :p
    I as a rockets Fan want the rockets to win every game!!
    But my fav, player Yao Ming can make the game so much more entertaining when he dominates the game.
    For example Yao Ming in the last two games has been horrible and almost playing like the 10th best Center in the NBA instead of the best Center. I wonder why? These two games were lucky wins for our team and could have been great games if Yao had tried to play at his regular level.
    In to-night's game their were periods where Yao was deliberately taking himself out of the offensive rotation, this is not new, but there must be a reason why? :p

    we had 10 thousand members before Yao, dont get any more delusional than you already seem to be.

    it is people like you that are the problem that this idiotic thread was referring to.

    good point. Yao would totally vote for Rox success.

    And it's a good thread, despite all the obnoxious questions in the original post.

    If you just look at the basic question and the results (nearly 10% of this board cares more about Yao's stats than the Rockets' success), it's fascinating.

    Maybe I would be the same way if some American guy went over to play Euro soccer and was massively successful... but well, no... I would have to watch soccer. Nevermind.
