For a second consecutive game, Yao Ming actually voiced his opinion on the current state of his team, the Houston Rockets, what had become of them.
“When you are soft yourself, everything will feel tough,” Yao said. “It’s not because they are so tough. It’s because of how soft we are. “It’s weird that we changed that quick. I never had that feeling. I feel like they traded me to another team, a new team I’ve never been on before.”
Wow, those are harsh words from the normally reserved Yao. His years in the NBA must have hardened him…or maybe it’s playing with T-Mac and streetball legend Rafer Alston. Playing with those two will definitely give you a quick lesson in Smacktalking 101. Or it could be the frustration of playing under Jeff Van Gundy for so many years that made him bitter.
I like the new Yao. It’s about time that he takes a step up and grow a backbone. The whole ‘soft-spoken, I’m Chinese so I must be humble’ act has worn a little thin. It’s time to bring out the beast!

How the heck can the front office of Houston have two of the best players in the NBA and surround them with garbage?! Memo to Houston Front Office: make a trade for a “real” point guard who can set the table and play some defense! If I was Houston, I would forget about the future because the FUTURE IS NOW! I would do whatever it takes to get Jason Kidd and team him up with Yao and T-Mac (keep Luther Head and Deke) and run with it!
Vince,
Well said. Yao is 5 years into his career and only getting better. And T-Mac is always an injury liability. These next 2 years are THE window for the Rockets if they are going to make it happen. True, don’t know if Rafer is the PG to bring them to the promised land.
