    What a relief!!!

    During the telecast when they said Yao just dislocated his finger on his shooting hand I just put my head in my hands in disbelief thinking he would have to miss some more time (1-2 weeks, etc). Looks like he will be just fine.

    I don't know, from the replay, Deke's injury didn't look too bad. You never know with these things (I have two bad knees) but I wasn't too worried with him.

    Well, excellent!

    God, Yao is good at putting the ball into the
    hole, at grabbing the rebounds, at blocking
    the shots, and he is good at speaking English!

    I am amazed.

    Two classy guys talking about basketball and themselves.

    We are blessed to have them both on the Rockets.

    Couldn't agree more with this. Throw in Battier and McGrady and Houston are very lucky to have such amazing guys laying for the organisation.

    Lol Dakota, i was just about to say... houston is so lucky to have two great centers that are such great people and have so much character. I hope both of them are 100% healthy going into the playoffs..

    btw.. is a dislocated finger usually ok after a couple days??

    Just wish our big guys healthy and make their marks in the post season rounds. Go Yao & Deke, our most powerful startup/backup duo centers in the league.

    Damn Yao's english is good. He has very little accent for someone who is so new to the language.

    I'm pretty sure Yao knew and spoke some english long before he came to Houston, but it's just gotten a lot better since he came over. Isn't it taught in the schools there?
