It was reported yesterday by Bill Worrell and Mat Bullard...I can't wait!The McGod and the Dynasty reunited!
This is huge for the Rockets. Lately, they been slipping the last few games but with Yao on his way back to mesh with a dominate Tmac, the Rockets look like a very scary team.
This makes Mutumbo gather himself together and gets some rest. The Rockets will finish 5th seed because of division rule. The West is too strong with the Suns, Mavs, and Spurs. Yao back, the Rockets can maybe get a win streak and can sneek ahead of the Spurs
During the Celtics game they said he was eyeing Wednesday vs. the Celtics. Either way I hope he doesn't play vs. the Celtics. And if he does, him vs. Jefferson is going to be a hell of a test for Al.

But honestly, I think the Cavs will win.</div>Lmao, Why is that?The last time they met, The Rockets beat them by 18 and that was without McGrady (Due to Mutombo and his elbows )TMac will lead this team to victory and having Yao just helps it even more. And if our role players are shooting good, then we can't lose.
All of you ar egoing to say im the dumbets piece of sh*t in the world, and I probably am, but I think Houston is gonna start playing worse as a result of this. Or as Dsoung would say, man ure a straight up hater
yaos prolly not gonna play a lot in this game, but yeee hes back. and how can yao back be any worse? TMac has found his stroke and now yao obviously has a shot. imagine all those buckets going in
Yao is going to be in a slump for sure, but this will absolutely help their team and help them get out of the slump right now. They have another star player coming back and TMac finally gets all that pressure off him since Yao wwas gone. So now they'll be even better, and they have many players that can spot up as well.
I just hope this won't be a repeat of recent events. Yao comes in, then might go out again due to lack of rest. I really hope im proved wrong though.
Only concern I have is T-Mac. If he starts to defer as much as he did pre-injury, this team is going nowhere.As Charles Barkley said, no matter what Yao does...it's T-Mac's team. He is the leader and best player. When he plays well, they win. He should be the #1 option scoring the ball, and Yao the 2nd...not the other way around. Very happy Yao is back, though. A month to mesh together and play well together, and they will give anyone some serious competition in the playoffs.

There will most likely be an adjustment period for Yao to get rid of the rust, and then getting Yao and T-Mac to play together. In the past McGrady deferred too much to Yao, and that is why the duo never really took off like everybody expected. If McGrady continues to be as aggressive as he is now offensively, and Yao is back putting up at least 20 and 10, then they'll be scary. Otherwise I wouldn't get too excited...
I would get excited nontheless. before T-Mac went down, they were something like 14-6. They almost beat the Mavs 2 years ago, and last year were 21-10 together. As I said, if they want to get anywhere outside of past the first round, T-Mac will need to be the first option and agressive. if that happens, I think they can give Dallas or SA a run for their money (Phoenix is a horrible matchup for Houston and it wouldn't go past 5 games).
He never got ejected...he got subbed in for Luther. <_<Goddamn though, 5-20? WTF TMac. <_<OUR ROLE PLAYERS NEED TO STEP IT THE F*ck UP NOW OR WE'RE SCREWED!
