Is YAO in pre-injury, dominating form already?

    Yao is so mean, why does he have to humiliate Howard like that? :D

    LOL he said 30%? I dunno if thats a bad thing, or a really really good thing!?!? If hes at 30% now, imagine him at 100% at around, lets say, PLAYOFF TIME

    I still dont know how he shoots so well with two fingers taped together

    That was a cheap shot at Dwight Howard.

    Qualifier: I have not read any other post in this thread.

    Comment: When Yao gets the ball deep, he is unstoppable. No player in the NBA has a chance. The issue is WHERE and HOW MANY times Yao receives the ball. I missed the game, but if the Magic or any other team let Yao get the ball deep on a consistent basis, 30 points is a given. Yao is THE dominant low post scorer in the NBA.

    If Yao steps it up just a little bit more and TMac stays healthy, I'll take our chances against ANY team in the playoffs. I wish I'd have taken the Vegas 20/1 odds. Last time I checked, Rockets are at 8/1.

    Yao is playing great but he isn't "dominating" the game. If you pass it into Yao in the deep post, he's $. But Yao isn't creating is own shots, for the most part, like he was pre-injury. If he gets back to that point, I'm REALLY getting excited about the playoffs. Right now I'm still cautiously optimisitc.

    i was really impressed with his play in his last two games. it looks like he's rounding into form. its only been two games, but i have a feeling that he's going to get better and better as he continues to play

    No shxt. Where did you get this? Which channel and what's the reporter's name? I definitely don't believe Yao is just at 30%.

    Simple mathematic.....

    30% = 37 pts
    100% = X

    X = ?

    I am appreciated how TMac and Rafer are able to get Yao the rock where he wants it when he is wide open. Three years ago people on the forum were still arguing how diffucult it was to get Yao the ball. Tonight TMac and Rafer combine have 18 assists says a lot.

    Don't shoot the messanger here. You should ask Yao this question :) .

    OK here is a short translation of that article.

    well said.

    That's what sets the 2004 team apart from this team. In 2004, even TMac wasn't the assist machine that his is today. If Rafer can deliver the ball and cut down on those tear inducing tear-drops, then BRING ON THE PLAYOFFS!!!

    Wow, yao really does think hes only at 30%.. I think thats just his way of making himself continue to push himself even though he got 36 pts so easily. He knows that this is probably one of the easier games and doesn't want to think that he can continue scoring like this without even more hard work.

    YAO you are the man.

    Well tonight

    Mac 6-17 10 assists
    Rafer 2-8 8 assists
    Head 0-4 6 assists

    Together they shoot at 8-29 (28%), but with 24 assists,

    Yao gets quite some easy shoots.

    X=123.
    I mean, Chamberlain had 100, 123 should be as easy as 1 2 3 for Yao

    I would like say that it is crow eating time for me.

    i expected Yao to struggle for at least 2 weeks and the rockets going into a tailspin.
