Yao has a sprained ankle and will be re-evaluated tomorrow before Game 4. We need him to play, and we need him to play well, so let's hope he's alright.
UPDATE: Yao will miss the rest of the playoffs with a hairline fracture. He doesn't need surgery, but our playoff dreams sure as hell do. Another year, another injury for the Great Wall. I don't know how much more of this I can take. I can't really describe how I feel right now, but if I had to it would be something like this: It feels like someone kicked me in the balls twice, punched me in the stomach, and then when I kneeled down from that, they kneed me in the mouth. And then they repeated the whole cycle. Twice. And it's not a good feeling. But that's neither here nor there.
And Yao, thank you for refusing to come out of the game last night till the end of the fourth even though you were visibly in pain. Thank you for coming back to play in Game 1 and winning the game for us. Thank you for leading us out of the first round, putting those days of depending on Mcgrady behind us. Thank you for showing us how it felt to be proud of your team again. Get well soon, we'll give 'em hell next year.

im not sure that it would be so bad if yao missed this next game.
ReplyDeletehe has an awful matchup against pau
ReplyDeletePeople always say that "Yao should have a championship by now, he is an elite center with a fantastic supporting cast".
ReplyDeleteYao is NOT, nor WILL EVER BE an elite center. In my opinion, the word elite gets tossed around too much and Yao has no business having it applied to him. His ppg, blocks, and assists are atrocious compared with the TRUE elite centers, Shaq, Wilt, etc
hes also really tall he should be doing more
ReplyDeleteaaamen. hope yao gets better soon
ReplyDeleteWhat's with Yao...getting injured all the time. We don't really need him to beat the Lakers. I mean look at yesterday! We can do it without Yao
