The lesson is his body can't stand up to the rigors of the NBA. This is difficult for the Rockets, hopefully this is like Big Z...get it corrected and resume your career. DD
typically guys that big dont have long careers....sam bowie, ralf sampson, mark eaton, rick smiths. PLUS the offseason basketball for China. damn i woke up and got the YAO IS OUT message.....i thought the basketball gods slapped me
Rockets' press conference at 1:00PM. To all the pinheads who have started giving RA the JVG treatment this is NOT Adelman's fault. Listening to the Dr. Kenneth R speak on 790AM just now, he carefully explained that this is just an injury that all big men are prone to get - guys this big simply put enormous stress on the bodies especially their feet and the lifespan of an average big man in the NBA is around nine years.
we would have to send stevie franchise to the draft lottery and hope for a miracle (NBA RIGGING AGAIN) to get the 1st pick. NO one can tell me the NBA didnt rig it to give us the 1st. Houston is like Georgetown...our entire franchise is built on GREAT Centers.
One season, i just want one season with both of our "superstars" healthy. Is that too much to ask? If we are only going to get 3/4 of a season out of our starts they could atleast sign for 3/4 of market value to make up the difference. I feel better about it this year, RA's offense could keep us in the game without yao, hopefully, but with the way the west is there is no telling whats going to happen.
GUESS WHO CAUSED THE INJURY??? Remember 9 games before when Houston played some team, someone stepped on Yao...Yao fell down and was freakin' painful!!!??? Guess what that team is? Milwaukee!!! Guess who that guy is? YI!!!
This is why - The rockets didn't make a big trade for Artest. You think they knew that Yao was injured and he may possibly be out for the year? CONSPIRACY!!!!!! That's why they did the BJax trade this year so they can make moves next year. Makes sense now doesn't it?
Yao better not play in the olympics, China are not winning anything anyways, so if they know what's good for him let him rest.
I'm convinced that the Rockets have a curse. I've said it all along. Just when things are looking up for them... Time to step up Deke, Scola and Hayes!! Make us proud, damn it!
