    I have a feeling Yao's maturation process will take a setback after tonight's game.

    I feel just the opposite. I think that he'll prove that he's changed and better than how he played at the beginning on the season without T-mac. The whole team is playing better than then. Rafer's played much better and so has Wesley.

    It's time for Yao to step up and I think he will.

    If you feel like that, then Yao's maturation was a camouflage covered up by Mcgrady.

    He's got to be there in 4th quarter to lead his team to victory. Until we start seeing this, how do yall expect the rockets to go far.

    I'm with olliez on this one. I don't think you've watched. Since Yao has been back from his toe surgery, it has been Yao carrying this team.

    Well, here we are, 4th quarter, no TMac, and a tie ballgame. Yao getting a breather on the bench. Let's see if he can carry us home.

    Woohoo, this officially marks the end of the myth that Yao can not win without Mcgrady.

    No ****, Sherlock! ;)

    What a game by Yao. Just amazing, and clutch at the end. Play like this consistantly, big fella, and we're going to win some damn games.:cool:

    I watched all the games. Yao had a good game tonight , but still not impressed. He will have good games against weak teams. Yao is still weak in clutch time.

    God damn, Yao stat line is rediculous after coming back from surgery! Seriously, if you don't appreciate what Yao has done since coming back from toe surgery, you're just a ******g hater period!

    I'm just liking his game more and more and if he keeps on improving, there's no reason why he's not the best center in the NBA.

    No, no, I honestly believe that you don't own a television set. Nice try though.

    The ignore list doesn't work if you quote them.

    Clutch is just a bonus for bigmen. Many all-time great centers were not known for clutchness.

    Wtf is wrong with you? Its a big game for Yao b/c he won without T-Mac and was clutch considering his crucial defensive stops and this game will be a good moral boost for him. 20/21, not impressed? Yea, go crawl back in your cave.

    Give me a freaking break. Give credit where credit is due.

    Yao showed tonight what all great players do. Making a difference at either end of the floor. When his shot left him during the 4th he made up for it on the defensive end IN THE CLUTCH. Did you not see his 21 rebounds? Did you not see his defensive play in the clutch against Dunleavy? Did you not see his step out on JRich at the end like Hakeem's play against John Starks in the Finals?

    The boy is maturing before our eyes.

    You have just lost all credibility and shown your true colors as a hater. Go find another board that shares your biased views hater.
