    Oh, my god! "Sensitive?"

    Look. This is not the Sharks. This is the NBA. It's an American sport. It's not for the soft. Baby sitting will never work because that will require more time than anyone has to motivate Yao. Yao has to motivate himself. Requiring others to do it for him is not the way to go.

    The guy hardly smiles on the bench anymore. Whenever the camera pans the bench, he's got a dour, sullen look. I'm just making a comment based on my observations, but Yao is not a happy guy. I might be proved wrong in the offseason if Yao happily signs on the dotted line. It's almost as if Yao now feels exactly how Steve felt last year.

    Conversation that probably happens sometimes during the season:

    Steve: Ya gotta get out of there man.
    Yao: You think?
    Steve: Yeah

    That's the kind of thinking that fans have who think NBA players are inanimate objects. The fool who threw that beer at Artest probably thought he wouldn't rush the stands.

    That would be better for all parties involved. If the dude is not happy, why the hell he wants to sign on the dotted line? Yao can make millions anywhere he goes. Most likely he would make much more in a bigger market like LA/NY.

    Hmmm, could it be that he's getting man-handled by his opponents? Maybe? Do you do know that on the court performance matters, right? Or maybe he should look "happy" when he plays bad or picks up two quick fouls.

    :rolleyes:

    Here we go with that "Bigger market?" stuff!

    NY, the fans are "nice" there.

    Actually, he wouldn't, since the Rockets can pay him more than any team.

    Also, if you are so concerned about the fans hurting Yao's feeling with their criticisms, what the heck do you think will happen if he were to sign with NY? ;)

    so all the YOFs think he isn't happy and needs to go and that we should trade him to California? where all the YOFs can have orgasms from looking at his body

    "Look how big Yao's arms and legs are..all that muscle...ohhhhhh yeeeeeeeeah!"

    (only applies to the extremist YOFFERS :D )

    is Yao just willing to abandon the Rockets? after all that work has been put in to build a team around him?

    Come on codell. Don't talk like you are the only one knows about the about-to-expire CBA. Yao's sponsorship dwarves his NBA contract, 50% of which goes to Chinese goverment anyway.

    Yeah, Yao definitely needs more endorsements. He has all sorts of spare time to fill from what I hear.

    I am willing to bet you that Yao will resign with the Rockets, much to your dismary. :p

    It sure beats the hell out of the opposite scenarios where he isn't getting appreciated. Would you want to work with a boss who just hates you?

    Who said JVG hates him?

    Now you are just making stuff up.

    Believe me or not, there are some Chinese journalists translate this board's stuff into Chinese and publish on Chinese sports papers. I don't know if Yao will pay attention to it or not. His parents and relatives may use it as time filler.

    It will sound great to be like this------Yao is getting constant criticism from Houston Rockets fans.

    wasn't one of the reasons JVG came here in the first place Yao?

    Thank you for building a team around Yao with JJ, Charlie Ward and MoT. Thank you very much. What a wonderful job you have done.

    I bet Yao would rather be yelled at in English than Chinese!! :D

    If Yao doesn't want to get cussed at in Chinese, them California teams is the last place he will want to go to!! :D

    Most likely T-MAC will come out in YAO's defense and bad mouth Van Grumpy on Channel 51. THat will force Les to dump Van Grumpy and bring in Phil Jackson. :D

    T-MAC is probably fed up with moving around. He came here cuz of Yao and cuz Shaqs team was not available. T-MAC aint gonna let that lil vampire Van Grumpy destroy YAO!!! :mad:

    Right, 'cause I'm sure no Chinese fans EVER criticise him. :rolleyes: Your posts are really worthless, and your desire to see Yao move to Cali is so blatant. No one is taking you seriously.
