yao ming is a badass Stories - The Dream Shake
Yao for 24 minutes >> Yao for zero minutes
As much as I think the whole "Yao Ming can only play 24 minutes" idea is ridiculously dumb... like "100" being a pitch count standard is dumb in baseball... I'm just so happy to have the big fella back! Go Rockets!
Yao's Downtown Restaurant - Grand Opening
Last night I had the privilege of attending the Grand Opening for Yao Ming's new downtown restaurant. As Silent Bob's good friend Jay once said, "I'm people who know people." Yeah, writing a blog about the Rockets can pay off in strange ways. I took this opportunity to drink on Yao's tab. That...
Back off Cleveland! Yao Ming is ours!
I have a message for the LeBrons... and the wealthy dudes who sign his check who are putting feelers out there about Yao Ming possibly being a Cleveland Cavalier in 2011: BACK THE F--K OFF! Yao Ming is ours! And we aren't giving the Great Wall away. Ever. That said, we have a 6'9" former...
Rockets/Lakers - one team can play better in Game 2. And I'm not talking about the Lakers.
The mainstream NBA media frustrates me. A lot. If you watched the game and (like me) weren't smart enough to put it on "mute" you'd have heard 48 minutes of Doug Collins and the other guy talking about how the Rockets are playing "the perfect game, but the Lakers are only trailing by 3" blah blah...
Rockets/Lakers Game 1: Screw you, Mongolians!
Go away, Mongolians! You are not knocking down our city wall! Yao Ming overcomes a scary moment when he bangs knees with Kobe Bryant. After a few tense minutes, Yao returns to the game and helps the Rockets put away the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1. Final score: Rockets 100, Lakers 92. Yao...
Expectations for Game 2 between the Rockets and Blazers
Game 1 was a long time ago. Since I've never been to Portland, it might as well have been in a galaxy far, far away. Game 2 is tonight. I hope the Force remains strong with the Rockets and that the Empire Blazers do not strike back. And for that matter... no one on the Rockets better lose a...
Is Greg Oden contracting a serious case of "Yao-itis"?
From Joe Freeman at OregonLive.com: Rookie center Greg Oden did not practice Friday and coach Nate McMillan said he is a game-time decision for tomorrow night's playoff opener against the Houston Rockets. Oden awoke Friday morning with a sinus infection and the Blazers sent him to get further...
No, no, no - Yao can't be seriously injured again. I will not allow it.
No. This cannot be happening. I refuse to accept even the concept that Yao Ming could possibly be injured. No more of this: Besides, isn't today a day where people have a history of overcoming any injury? Even that pesky thing known as "death"? I have no doubt Yao Ming will be ready to kick...
It's the one year anniversary of Yao's injury.
One year ago today was strange. And sad. I first heard news that Yao would be sitting out the Washington game with a back injury... then I was told it was his foot that was giving him problems. Later we learned that he might miss 1-2 weeks with a foot sprain. Shortly thereafter, we got the...
Is Luis Scola the Rockets' MVP?
A simple disclaimer before we begin... Luis Scola is my favorite Rocket not named "Yao Ming." That said, I must admit I was a little surprised to see the e-mail I got from the Rockets Insider this morning. Suggesting that Luis Scola has been the best player - or at least the most valuable...
