    so do I, and every Rox fans.

    although, we don't need Tracy grab 30,40 points everynight, maybe 20 is fine, with about 10 assistants will be perfect.

    I'm not the only one thinking MVP:

    Chad Ford: Jerry West told me the other day that he thought Yao was the MVP in the league because of how difficult a match-up he's become on both ends of the floor. Got to say I agree ... I love you LeBron, but you're not 7-foot-5.

    All though Yao will be the rockets MVP it's too soon to be talking about NBA season MVP!

    Somehow that Jerry West quote needs to get out to more of the 'talking heads.'

    A possibility. Yao has came out from his shell and is steadily making good number for the Rockets.

    C.HAYES: MVP OF THE rockets.
    WHEN rox win THE championship this year, and when YAO SCORES > 30 per game this year, and become a MVP OF THE YEAR, he must remember his most important teammates: T-mc and C.HAYES. CAUSE WITHOUT THEM, yao is just a s***.
    CHUCK HAYES + YAO----> YAO SCORES > 30 AT least
    ....+ YAO -----> yao scores > 20
    conclusion: C. HAYES is the yao's motivation, cause he's fast, and he's Yao's shadow, he gives yao the courage and confidence, he gives the ball to yao and put Yao to score like a machine.
    Without HAYES, Rox lost his superpower, and become a soft team...
    So come back Hayes, you are the MVP OF THE ROCKETS, and YAO needs you to become a superstar, you motive him like a mouse motives a cat, without you, he's just a blind score-machine.

    K.G.'s early MVP: Garnett said Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is his early pick for the NBA's Most Valuable Player award. Garnett, the league's MVP in 2004, said Yao's long-range shooting touch makes him unique for such a tall player.

    "But he's also a force," Garnett said. "He'll dunk it. He's aggressive. Right now, Yao's the MVP of the league to me. Him and (Orlando's) Dwight Howard are playing at astonishing levels, and they're carrying their teams."

    Yao was named the Western Conference's player of the month for November. He averaged 25.7 points and 10.1 rebounds and shot 54.4 percent.

    Coach Dwane Casey agrees with Garnett.

    "I think (Yao is) playing at an extremely high level right now, above anybody," Casey said before his team's 90-84 victory. "Their offense feeds through him. He's playing with a tremendous amount of confidence right now. Toughness and confidence. He's playing with the whole package right now."

    Yao was limited to 14 points on 5-for-19 shooting and eight rebounds Wednesday as the Wolves played good defense, using a mix of Garnett and center Mark Blount.
