durvasa, i agree, but 25-30 mins and 15ppg 7 rebs is worth 10-12m per in todays game. Even with those minutes along with the back to backs, in the playoffs, youre not winning with yao playing 25-30 mins. They played garnett and those guys smaller minutes during the season,but in the playoffs it was a different story Garnett has proven he can play big minutes when needed. So has duncan,pierce,kobe,gasol, and those guy also.
That's cute, but some of us think a real fan wants what's best for is team. Liking all the players is one thing, but wanting your team to win is another. Most of the posters that I see criticizing Yao aren't Yao-haters, they're just labeled that by Yao-fans, who seem to bring nothing more to the table than "Yao is a good, loyal guy." That's great, I feel legitimately bad for Yao, but as a fan the unreliability drives me crazy.
Mighty mog, so i'm hybrid because i think yao is done and not worth the headache. So i'm hybrid because i think tracy and yao came up small when it mattered most against utah and dallas in the playoffs? I dont hate yao just like u dont hate brooks. I dont hate anyone or any player, but i do see the need to move forward. I've been a fan since 78 or so and it never changes with me. I always root for the front of the jersey unlike many on this board. There were some posters who took the year off cause yao wasnt playing or tracy wasnt playing, but not the true fans. Those my friend are hybrid only fans.Being critical of your team and players when they're not performing isnt being hybrid, its called being real.
No more than 35 minutes. Don't want to risk yao getting injured again. We have Brad Miller now who can take on the extra minutes.
