    I didn't even know something like that happend. But damn, bruised or bumped knee never sounds good (look T-Mac). Hopefully he will be ok.

    Yao looks tired. Let him have more rest and Rox go small for a while.

    If he is just not mentally tough at this point, I would be glad to know. In that case, he will come back sometime before the playoff. I'm a little concerned about his body, is there anything wrong with his toe? I hate waiting one more season....

    yao got ownd by Chris Karman and camby, fortunately landry saved teh day. scola+landry combo can be deadly, i wonder why RA kept yao on teh court all teh time since he shouldve realized yao doesnt fit his system. when yaos on teh court, he makes his teammates play worse even. imo we can start yao and play him liek 6mins, put him on teh bench rest and then let him play with head, wafer, hayes when other restin.

    Right, bench out best player so we can give minutes to....Head, Hayes and Wafer....ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? Did you give this asinine post of yours a moment's thought before typing it?

    Obviously not, since you have about 20 grammatical, spelling and punctual errors, not to mention spelling "Kaman" wrong. Kaman and Camby were both starting centers before being teamed together on the same line up. It's basically 2v1 against Yao, both Clipper centers of top caliber. Of course Landry is going to get his if all eyes are on our big man.

    And I'm NOT making excuses for Yao Ming. This idiotic posting by knee-jerk idiots like this must stop. I shouldn't even have to explain this to you. But then again, you post like an incompetent dolt. Wow, talk about redundancy, eh?

    L2 read noob, i say yao can only play with hayes, head and wafer since he cant make em play worse. just dont put yao with tmac,artest,socla,landry 2gether, otherwise yao kills their talents kk? and yes ur makin excuses for yao ming. he owned by kaman and camby, thats teh fact. ur sayin omg 2vs1 unfair, they both startin center blabla, teh truth is no they didnt double yao and kaman pwnd yao hard by himself if u watched teh game. btw ty for everythin, gramma police rofl.

    i just got back from the game. yes, i was there at staples center. im a little buzzed but I thought Yao played fine. His only flaw is that he gets his shots blocked easily which shouldn't be the case for a 7'6 guy but he certainly did not make others play worse. there was a reason why adelman kept yao in the game. first quarter for example, i remember finishing my first beer and rockets were leading like 25-10 (scola doing most of the dmg). I saw Yao get out and by the time I came back from taking a leak, it was 25-22...

    He's not in a slump. Our expectations for him are too high. He's always going to soft outside center a la Patrick Ewing but without the athleticism. Yao is not a player you build around; he's much more like a good role player. He just isn't dependable enough unless we'd like to depend on high TO, lots of fumbled rebounds, watching athletes drive around him easily, getting stuffed by players a full foot to foot and a half shorter than him, and most of all, exiting at or before the first round. He just isn't a winner.

    so why should we keep a 20/10 loser? your post is self-contradictory and stupid.

    i don't know what you expect of yao, but i expect him to be a 20/10 player. and a 20/10 player is in no any ****ing way a "role player". if you can't understand that, you can't call yourself a basketball fan.

    well,he doesnt deserve 10 rebounds per game with his reboundin skillz, sometimes teh stats lied. he should thank his teammates for teh 20/10, did u count how many good passes he wasted? he can score, but u need2 kill others talent to get yao his points. tbh i say even scolas a better option on offence than yao, at least he can hold teh damn ball. yao is teh reason why we suck on rebound and def. a championship team cant work liek that. if we wanna win teh champion, yao has2 be a tough role player or just trade him, its teh situation here. no more BUILD AROUND YAO deal kk?

    We keep good role players ... that's why we keep Yao. However, pinning your hopes on Yao seems like a guaranteed disappointment.

    do you ever know what logic is?

    scola a better offensive option? just one of your r****ded points.

    don't know if you're still in your teens, but your bball iq certainly is, if you truly believe the crap you spewed.

    ok, yao should be a role palyer. then who is the centerpiece of this team? #1? or #96? or we have none?

    without yao and replace him with say camby, do you think we have championship hopes this year?

    I think he is just being radical. That says sth about his age, and his bball possibly.

    ofc scola is a better option if ur not blind. he could already be if hes a chinese ffs. in national team, scola plays even better than pau gasol imo. and in rocket he just have2 clean up all teh mess yao caused on, do all teh hustle jobs for yao. scola also not good at def tbh, but talkin about offence, hes much more efficient than yao, he can pass, can dribble, can shot and he can grab rebounds. scola is just teh man who fits adleman's offence system perfectly while yao doesnt. and scola did fine on his free throws which he ****ed last yr, so now scolas wai better than yao in every single part kk.

    u kiddin rite, if we have camby, we r 6:0 now rofl. "centerpiece of this team"=tmac, hes teh man who carried us, not Yao. w/o yao, we r still a good team at least, but w/o tmac we r crap. if we did trade yao for camby plus a backup PG, we r unstoppable. mark my words.

    Yao SHOULD be the centerpiece but the fact of the matter is that he is NOT. When push comes to shove and we are in need of a player to take over down the stretch it's still Tmac.

    You can't compare Camby to Yao. That's like comparing apples to oranges since they are polar opposites. Camby couldn't average 20 points a season to save his life and Camby is 10x's the defender Yao will ever be.

    Yao's 20/10 is one of the most inflated/overrated/softest/quietest 20/10 known to mankind because he never impacts a game. If you watch a game with Yao you hardly ever see him dominate down the stretch and you rarely see him do something pivotal that changes the course of a game.

    Since you mentioned Camby though... let's look at some players we can actually compare to Yao.... other 20/10 players off the top of my head either current or in previous seasons. Shaq, Tim Duncan, Stoudemire, KG, Dirk, Al Jefferson, Boozer, Brand, Jamison, Dwight Howard, Zach Randolph. Out of those guys there's only three players I wouldn't take before Yao. Those players being Jamison since hes undersized, Shaq because he's washed up, and Randolph just cause he's a headcase. All the rest of those players in the 20/10 club would give us a far better chance at winning than Yao.

    Is it possible something relate to his before game practice?
    He came early before game last year, so we saw his good performence at first three quarters,then he tired at fourth.
    I think this year they reduced his after game practice and before game practice.
