    I kind of understand how he feels. From a fan perspective this team looks different with all the new faces, NY coaches, semi-new uniforms, new building, & no Calvin Murph. It just feels different, like who are these guys?

    Yao said he was looking forward to playing with TMac and that he wanted the team to improve from last year.

    He said he wanted to advance to the second round, maybe WC finals, finals or whatever. I'm paraphrasing a little but I think that's what he said.

    Hopefully something like that is in the works and gets posted on the official website, like when Stevie, Cuttino and Yao met for the first time. Another meeting I would love to see would be Yao and Mutumbo's first encounted- that would be hilarious.
