    WTF, is the world coming to an end?!? This was the first time he said anything positive about yao...other then the usual soft, stiff comment from him.

    It was brief but he said "We all know Yao is emerging". After that he mention about T-mac not being able to stay healthy.

    One more thing, Walton said the Rox is playing beautiful basketball due to the play of Landry and Brooks. Why no mention of Scola??

    And Tim Cowlishaw from around the horn said the Rockets are the hottest team in basketball, and picked us to be champs :D

    Saw that also. Finally glad to see both Stephen A. and Bill Walton giving props to the Rockets.

    Also, Walton said that the Dallas Mavericks do NOTHING for him. :)

    Rockets have best record in '08. Thinking the Jazz had some funk before their current winning streak.

    This is just a random Yao stat I noticed that I didn't feel like creating a new thread for. He has as many games with at least 5 assists so far this season (6) as he had in all his previous years combined.

    Some people really hate Yao, but they must understand they have to give him full respect.

    I'm not Asian, but I have feeling if Yao was American they would give him more props, or if Yao played attractive because they're "bored" to see 230 cm tall man shooting over the defense.

    Let no one be insulted by this post.
