    I wouldn't mind seeing him stand out there and catch a pass during "hack a shaq" times.....

    maybe like the last 1-2 mins of the game...he's are best free throw shooter.

    what ya'll think?

    I think I've watched him limp off of the court in two success games when he still wanted to play. Why in hell would they ask the man to risk his personal health any further?

    Even if he's just standing out there waiting to get fouled there's too much risk of him aggravating his injury. For instance having the Laker guarding him stepping on his foot or running him over. Plus he still has to prepared to play D in case of a pick off of the inbounds pass.

    Yao is done for the season. I want to see him back in a Rockets' uniform but that won't be until next season.

    Yao won't even be allowed to stand without a special boot.

    How about Yao shoots three's. The distance between the tops of two three-point lines is much shorter than the length of the court. Yao shouldn't be very tired.:D

    So let me get this straight.

    You want Yao out there in a special boot for teams to intentionally foul him?

    Btw you said the last 1-2 mins of the game that is not "Hack of Shaq" time.

    I seriously hope some of you are drunk when you guys make threads like this.
