That's a pretty generic-hater statement to make.
I was just trying to say that Yao isn't playing the right sport IMO, he gets blocked by Nate Robinson and acts like he got fouled, He can't play body-to-body on Defense in the paint... He's lacking in the stardom area.

I think if Yao was from America and was a few inches shorter. He wouldn't be in the NBA lol.

Yeah, when your 7'6'' you shouldn't be scoring more from jumpers then you do in the paint.

20/10 on 55% shooting doesn't classify as "suck".

Yao may be soft but he doesn't "suck". He also not the only soft player in the game either.

I like Yao actually, don't get me wrong.

I just think if you're 7'6, 310, you should be doing better then 9th in the NBA in rebounding and 13th in blocking

I know. Yao is an amazing player, and he is a franchise guy pretty much.

But as a fan, I'm not afraid of him offensively or defensively. If that makes sense?

Like when we play the Cavs, I'm afraid of LeBron. But when we play the Rockets, I'm not afraid of Yao. He is just like there. "Silent Samurai."

I don't see this trade going down to be honest, I DEFINITELY do not want the VC for T Mac, but the VC for Artest, Battier, Head and Landry aint bad

I'd love to have a "silent samurai" on my team. Go ahead and focus on the other guy, if you don't see that the other guy is putting up 20 and 10 with a very efficient FG %, it's no wonder your team sucks and lost to the Rockets

HOUSTON (AP)—Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander said Tuesday that oft-injured star Tracy McGrady won’t be dealt before Thursday’s trade deadline.

McGrady sat out Tuesday’s game against New Jersey as he seeks input from doctors on the best course of treatment for his troublesome left knee. He’s missed 18 games this season with the injury, the aftermath of offseason surgery. He sat out another game with a sprained ankle.

Alexander said “there will probably be some news” about McGrady in “a couple of days,” but it won’t be an announcement that the seven-time All-Star has been traded.

“I don’t think we’re going to part ways with Tracy,” Alexander said. “We acquired a great superstar and everybody wants us to trade the great superstar. You don’t get superstars that often.”

In a way fans do run the team. Team needed a change, fans <Censored> <Censored> <Censored> and <Censored>, so not to lose any fans trades are made etc. , but I get what you're saying.

But as a fan I never like to face Yao, he IS the Rockets. He's the only reason they've been able to get any lift this season. Yao is always the guys I think LA should focus on when playing Houston because everyone runs through him. BS if you say it does through TMac because those days are over.

Yeah I understand what your saying, and your right. I'm just not afraid to play Yao and the Rockets, as apposed to LeBron and the Cavs.

Or like years ago Shaq and the Heat.

I'd be willing to play a One-On-One with Yao and I'm only 5'10"... after seeing Little Nate abuse him, I'm up for the challenge
