    Jet Li, ugly? I don't think so. You must be thinking of Jackie Chan. Not the best looking guy but I like him alot. Very Funny. Jet Li (or Lee) is a bad ass. Scary.

    I think I know who Joey Yung is. Are you saying she's pretty? I definitely don't think so. Let's move this thread to the D&D so we can debate on it. :)

    Or the most obvious reason why Jho is a starter... He is the only PF Rocks can rely on to stay out of foul trouble.

    That is because his man has already scored, can't foul them after the play ;) .

    What? Yao's no way ugly! IMO, he's got the nicest package among all the big men in the league!

    I'm hearing that JVG has Stro busting his ass while he is sitting out these games. As a matter of fact, ALL injured players MUST workout from 75 minutes BEFORE the game (6:15) until after halftime. :D

    I think once Stro comes back we'll see a different player then we've been seeing

    6~7 tael is about 0.6~0.7lbs. Am I right?

    1 Tael is equivalent to 1 lb, if I am not mistaken.

    Not to derail this thread, but are you SURE you know who she is? She's totally hot.

    Seems like ritou is right. This conversion page says that 100 Tael is 8.33 lbs, which makes 7 tael = .58 lb.

    I knew losing 6-7 lbs was a little fishy. When you lose that much weight it's usually a bad thing, meaning that you're losing muscle-mass.

    one thing you have to look at with the +/- for j howard is he has played the whole season except that one game where he was suspended. and he played a Ton of minutes when tracy and yao were out so that is going to skew his numbers some because if he was playing a higher average number of minutes then usual in games we were getting blown out in and most of our extended losing streaks.

    Oh, that plastic gal. Imagine, what she looked like before the cosmetic surgery.

    ME BAD. I guessed I have a wrong translation.

    It is not tael. It should be catty,
    which is equivalent to 500 gm. So 6 ~ 7 catty means 3KG to 3.5KG, i.e. 6.6 lb ~ 7.7 lb.....which is about right, because in the original article, it mentioned that Yao Ming now moves faster and quicker with his lighter weight. I don't think 0.58 lb lighter would make that kind of difference on him. Moreover, losing weight does not necessarily mean losing muscle.

    I don't know, 6-7 lbs seems like a lot of weight considering that Yao was already so trim when the season started. Yao has a tendancy to lose weight as the season goes on (he's done so in years past), and logically it would tend to be muscle mass.

    But the way he's playing, I guess it doesn't matter. Yao's playing the best, most consistent ball of his life. Offense, Defense, Rebounding, he's playing at an amazing level right now. Whatever he did while he was out, has worked.

    If I'm not mistaken, he was around 308 ~ 310 lb when the season started.

    So he should be around 302 ~ 3 after losing that 6 ~ 7 lb. Lighter but faster and quicker. :D
