Sportscenter reports Yao's injury has been exaggerated!

saw the same thing, it is on the front page of ESPN.com

 

Ric Bucher just tweeted a simular thing.

 

OOPS I WAS RIGHT

 

i knew it!!!!!!

yao is a warrior!!! dont underestimate him again!

 

There you go. Let us just wait and see.

 

it must've been so he wouldnt play on the chinese national team

 

Is it possible this was purposely released by Morey to help us on the trade front and in free agency?

Clanton made some pretty concerning statements about the injury.

 

We are still screwed unless we can find another scoring option.

 

Bucher's tweet.........

Yao update: Same situation as March '08. Returned for Olympics and best season. Likeliest scenario - surgery, misses part of next season.

same thoughts here..

 

How did this help on the trade front and in free agency?

Please explain.

 

i seriously knew that the injury wasnt that bad i knew yao was not going to miss this season maybe a couple of game but not the whole season and possibly next lets go rockets

 

Gosh, being a fan of this team is such a roller coaster ride! It's exhausting! BUT, I'm glad to hear that maybe it isn't as bad as people have said it is!.... (fingers crossed!)

 

If this was some kind of damage control, which I'm not saying it is, it might encourage a player to sign with us over another team. The FAs we would likely covet would want to play on a contender.

Again, I was just throwing it out there because of Clanton's comments about Yao's foot.

On the other hand, maybe the initial report was put out there to free Yao up from obligations to the Chinese national team. If that is the case though, why would they backtrack from the initial report?

I hope Yao is OK but given the earlier reports, I'd like to hear some more concrete evidence as to why there is suddenly less concern. Maybe a second doctor revised the outlook?

 

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY




WE ARE BACK ON BEECHESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



YAO-RON-SCOLA-SHANE-AB
2010 WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!

 

good, now rest him for the first half of the season so
so he can be close to 80 to 100% healthy for the postseason.
still need a backup C though

 

i know right? u can be like so excited for something than like completely down the next day

 

Umm on espn.com it says he may be back at some point or he may miss the entire season. I'm not really sure how that's good news.

 

at this point, no one knows. we aren't going to just replace a 7'6 with skills. there isn't another person in the world that can do what yao does. we're screwed... unless these reports have been exaggerated and he does return a year or two from now. i could live a year without yao, if he's going to come back healthy.
