    :confused: Could you explain how McGrady has made Yao worse? I know Yao is playing pretty bad but how has McGrady made him worse?

    Do not over react. I wish Yao succeed. But I think Yao has his own problems too. He is not very aggresive because he is too nice. Have you ever seen him argue with players? He will not succeed if he has no balls to fight with someone else in the leauge that is full of thugs.

    Will's a great writer and a very smart guy. I think he is just saying things for effect a little bit, and frustrated by Yao's recent play.

    He might have read too many DaDakota posts ;) - DaDakota is a great guy, too, but he will also say things for effect after bad games :).

    Everybody knows the crew members would cover each other's back. But do you have to be that obvious? I have no idea of what kind of person Will is. I can only judge him by what he writes here. From I can read, I sure hope he doesn't make a professional journlist by writing aggressive, provocative, and border-line RACIAL slurs type of work. Can you imagine what the reaction people would have if Bill Worrel made the 6 fowls comment on TV?

    Don't be so sure so early, apparently Yao is trying to use this method to get his parent green card. Remmber the inverstment is right above 1 million threashold for investment immigrantion.

    Yao could live in L.A and open another Yao resturant there easily.

    You should. The guy was in fact named the best player in the NBA for the past week.

    And Yao's scoring is up.

    I'm always happy when people spew less garbage.

    I love this thread.

    I also love puns, overreaction and keeley.

    Simply put - Yao's gonna get **** when he plays as bad as he did last night, just like any other Rocket.

    In his normal life, Will is well known as the Neo-Father Coughlin of the Nouveau Center-Left Movement when it comes to Pac Rim issues, so it actually explains quite a bit. His weekly internet radio gig is filled with invective, with a good bit of demagoguery and some haberdashery mixed in for good measure.

    Good post,

    On a side note,

    I think clutch crews have mix feeling against YOFs...

    sometimes YOFs can be irritating I understand... but more importantly... clutchcrews are NOT against money... without rockets drafting Yao and followed up with so many YOFs.. this forum would never been paypalled.


    To YOF:
    This is a forum made by Americans;

    To Clutch Crew:
    Keep YOFs, they bring the Money.

    Oh Dear! Tony Korhenser said a negative but objective comment about Yao Ming on PTI. Send him to the hounds of Hell!

    Will, you are the man. I had to quote your joke. It's funny watching the "Yao is God" cadre go apesh*t over a hilarious yet harmless joke.

    Seriously, just as Jeff has pointed out, what have the "haters" said that hasn't already been pointed out by the most respected members in the basketball community?

    As for YOF telling others to leave this BBS, I will say this: the so called "haters" were Rockets fans before Yao and will be Rockets fans after Yao. I wonder if I can say the same about you guys? If you want a BBS that exists only to kiss Yao's ass, then this is not the place for you. People here want the Rockets to win, if they see players that aren't stepping up and as a result, hindering that goal, they are gonna talk about it. Are there gonna be people who go overboard and post out of dislike or hatred, hell yes, but Will isn't one of those guys and he has hardly done anything to get the kind of treatment he has in here.

    I agree.

    Clutch Crew: YOF markets in the Eastern lands must keep their Ports open for our commerce, namely so that we may have access to their markets for our manufacktured items and dry goods, and so that we can import badly needed textiles and Manganese and Tungsten for our burgeoning fires of industry. I propose that Clutch crew appoint myself, Mr. Samuel Fisher, Esquire, as its registered agent and provide me with a letter of introduction expressing utmost appreciation for the various principalities and potentates of those foreign lands, and armed with that, my wit and linguistic flair, and a packet steamer with a full complement of able seamen and several tons of gold bullion, I shall ensure that the flow of capital from YOF to Clutch Crew shall not cease while breath remains in these determined lungs.

    I await your response, gentlemen. You may cable me at the address provided when I registered.

    Does Yao, himself, have a green card? It wouldn't make sense for his parents to get a green card if Yao doesn't have one.

    If Yao is a permanent resident, then the next step up the immigration ladder is citizenship! :)

    You have got to be ****ting me. Yeah, Clutch did this for free for SIX FREAKING YEARS before Yao was drafted realizing that, one day, a star like Yao would come along and make him rich with all the PayPal donations he would receive.

    My eyes just rolled out of my head an onto the floor.

    :rolleyes:

    It won't conflict Yao has a green card or not and his parent applying green card. Anyway green card provides a lot convinience for foreigns. Especially after 911.
