Yao: "I think that's my worst game in my three years."

At least, Yao is an honest guy, he's really upset when he played terrible or the team lost the game even if he played well, so you YOFs and haters just stop debating, playing bad is playing bad, at least the team won. Every one has good and bad nights, i'm sure he will soon reboot to be a beast again.

 

Yao needs more than 11 shots

 

Exactly, more than anything I think he gave a bad defensive effort, but taking 11 shots and scoring 16 points isn't horrible. I'm definitly not use to any center, even Howard or Stoudamire, getting over on Yao. So give credit where its due, Jefferson had an awesome game, hit the open 18 footer (the one thing that Howard and Stoudamire don't do) and out hustled Yao who looked a little fatigued out there. But at least Yao admits that he stunk it up, and hopefully he'll be ready to give his best effort against Z and Varejoa tomorrow.

 

Varajeao and Gooden will not be playing tomorrow, so this seems the perfect game for Yao to find his rhythm again. I hope he does get it going and T-Mac is still doing his thang. That would be great to see. It would also open things up even more for Scola, Landry, Battier, and Bonzi (we need him to get going also). I hope they jump out early so Brooks, Head, and Novak can come in a fire up some shots.
