    Hey guys,

    This was from Bill Walton's chat today on ESPN Insider


    Bob from San Diego, CA: Why does Jeff Van Gundy play so few minutes of Yao Ming? It seems Yao can't really ever get in to a good rhythm to have truly great games playing only 29 or 30 minutes a game.

    Bill Walton: The whole story in Houston is the most disappointing one of the season .. aside from the brawl and the soap opera in LA. I thought they would do very well but they have not come together at all. It's like the Pistons-Pacers .. you can't blame one guy. It's everybody. By this point in a career, Yao needs to be that dominant force everyone expects him to be. Van Gundy has to learn to coach these players, not the players he hopes to have. Yao is never going to be the type of player who is the fastest on the court. Van Gundy would love to play him 40 minutes a game, but it's not in their best interests right now. Yao is still finding out what he can and can't do out there. A coach has to insist on the greatest physical fitness .. and Yao is a tireless worker .. but his understanding of the responsibilities of being at the top, that is still coming.

    Yes ! FSNSW means Fox Sports Network Southwest, but be sure to look for games on all of the alternates ( at least 4 ) because most of the games are not on the main station. That should not be a problem if you have satellite on the other hand you may not be able to get them on cable. Hope that helps.
