    What happened to his J? This is the only thing that make Yao so valuable be cause he cant defend and he cant rebound and he cant dunk and he doesnt go to the line (where he is almost automatic). So what the heck happened to his j?

    my speculation is his hurting shoulder is bothering him. also, he lost a lot of his strength.

    not only his jumpshots, his moves (besides the spin move) are like theyre in bullet time. this is a different yao than the one before injury. we still need him on the floor tho

    Sad to say, Yao has been on the downhill since 2007. Rox should trade him now before everyone in the league finds out about that.

    It's no wonder that yao is not as good as he was, every roster becomes worse after they step into their 30s. What hell is yao's real age? Only God and his parents know.

    I think his condition is poor right now. He has to work himself into game shape

    He was tugging at his shorts after 5 minutes like he was in his first 2 seasons. He might not be in bball shape as you suggest.

    Sorry I don't get what you meant by "everybody is God." Care to clarify, please.

    I thought we would see more open jump shots from Yao with Adelmen a la Vlade.
    I guess I was wrong.

    Geeze, I miss seeing the big guy hitting nothing but net from 16 feet out.
