I'm glad I read the whole thread before rating it. At first, I was going to give it a 1. But after the responses, it's a 5 all the way! LOL. Here's hoping ALSTON will be the #2 pencil in the 6th game!
Yao was not happy in game 5 with his performance and he has not played at his best potential yet. Jazz might see the monster game from Yao tomorrow.
It's obvious that Yao isn't 100%,but he's not using that as an excuse.I think once we get past Utah and match up against teams that don't D up like that we'll see a smoother Yao and a less "ugly" game in general. Thre's just not much flow out there right now.... KEEP YOUR HEADS UP.THESE ARE DAYS OF GRACE.
Yeah Yao's probably playing hurt. I remember last year just before Yao went out for his toe surgery I was so mad at him playing slow and soft and vented my anger on the Yaomanina board, only to find out later that he was playing with injury. But again I do think he plays too honestly. Give Boozer a few 'love taps' a game - I'm sure the refs won't call it every time but Boozer will surely miss his J every time
Yao happy dunk time , yay! He put 40 pts in smiley 4th qrtr. He shoot on man Boozer for fun win time.!
Personally I see Tmac dropping 40 on those suckers. I think Yao's breakout series would be against the Warriors.
