    I can see why Yao Ming gets tired by the end of games

    he spends 25 seconds fighting for position every posession and either doesn't get the ball, or doesn't get the ball where he can do anything with it

    also, the Chinese guards carry the ball more than Allen Iverson:eek:

    Man, Bateer is going off in this game too. The US can't stop him! :D

    edit: Yeah! Yao's back in.

    It's obvious Ming is hanging back now, staying out of foul trouble. Oooh. He just hit another beauty!

    That's what I thought too. He could have stuffed the patooey (which is a word that seems to be calling for this situation.) out of A.Miller, but he stayed on his feet.

    AHH! DANG IT. HE GOT #3. FUDGE!

    Bad call. Ming never moved and blocked that shot. #3 foul.

    Yeah, I saw a replay of some guard that looked like he was hanging on to A.Miller. It looked pretty funny.

    Steve, Cat and Rice are going to have a field day with Griffin and Ming protecting the basket. I am excited about the coming season!

    Tell me about it.

    Though even though they were borderline, I wouldn't worry about it. Probably all 3 could be prevented with better teammates, imo.

    That's what I was wondering. I read that 296 was what they got at the Chicago camp, before the draft. I'd go with that. But they use 250-something, I think, here.

    The Ming fouls were rookie ticky tack fouls. As he logs time, those calls will go his way and the Rocks will be cookin'!

    What's the deal with Yao's weight? supposedly, he was 296 in Chicago, now they are saying he is 253, or something like that:confused:
