with all these appreciation threads, everyone's seems to be missing the obvious. how about some love for the big guy eh? notice he's only missed one game this season?
hopefully he'll regain his dominance from december. but yes, his consistency is appreciated and for only missing 1 game.
how long can he carry the load without having a breakdown.. t-mac and ron need to come back and start play consistently to give yao an easier time..
yao is averaging 33 mins a game, his lowest since 04-05 so he hasn't been asked to carry more of a load. the other role players have gotten better.
yao has been playing a lot less than last year, plus he's practicing less. i really hope he continues to stay healthy.
He's been more aggressive as of late in both offensive and defensive end as of late. The result also shown how big a factor of yao's production is up until now. When yao scores more than 20 points (i think) the rockets are 14-1 and when Yao grab more than 10 rebounds we are 14-5? I don't quite remember who stated the numbers but our season is greatly tie with yao's game that's for sure.
As long as Yao is ready, healthy and hungry for the post season, I'm fine with his regular season form.
Yeah Yao has been really great considering he suffered a possible career thretening injury last year. When you consider that the guy could have been done I think he has done great. Few guys who have had that injury come back and do so well that quickly. But it is easy to forget Yao's past helath problems with all the other injury that the other player have had Here's to Yao
We take Yao for granted way too much. People forgot the days of Kelvin Cato, 20-10 big man is nothing to cough at.
