Let me guess...you probably believe Isiah Thomas is tanking our season and we're not actually this bad of a team.

If dolemite keeps zeke on to coach next yr, they planned the whole thing.

Basically Isiah let them do what ever they wanted to do.

When did he get the stress fracture, did it happen in practice or the game ?

It happen about 25 days ago, his buddy Yi, is the one who landed on Yao's foot.

Anyway, it's also partially Yao's fault for not getting it checked quickly, since it has been 25 days since the Milwaukee game when Yi landed on Yao's foot on.

Some of you don't really understand the politics in the NBA when it comes to China doing well in the OLYMPICS.

I bet China is going to try and bring him back for the Olympics, which will put him in a bad way for next season even before it starts.

Remember Garbajosa's recovery for last European championships? He came back too early and look where he's now.

What is the difference between 'No' and 'Just a Coincidence'?

If you said just a coincidence, it means he got it checked out NOW because he couldn't bear the pain anymore.

If you said no,he got injured and had to get surgery period and when he got it done was up to him.

Yao Ming as a secret weapon to speed recovery for Olympics - Chinese medicine
March 4, 2008







BEIJING (AP) - Chinese officials are hoping to speed NBA star Yao Ming's recovery with a secret remedy - traditional Chinese medicine.

The Houston Rockets center underwent surgery on Monday to repair a stress fracture in his left foot. Doctors in the United States said after the surgery that he was expected to recover in time to play for China at the Beijing Olympics in August.

However, back home they're taking no chances with Yao's health.

"After the surgery, Chinese medicine will be used to help Yao Ming's recovery," Hu Jiashi, deputy director of the Chinese Basketball Association, told the Beijing News.

"We've hired medical experts to diagnose Yao Ming's condition and communicate with American doctors and we've reached agreement."

Chinese remedies are widely believed across China to be effective, usually made of herbal compounds that have been used for centuries.

Hu also urged caution.

"Yao Ming's absence from the Olympics is something nobody wants to see," Hu said. "However, we have to listen to the doctors advice. We also need to face reality. If Yao doesn't fully recovered from the injury, he can't give his best performance plus it could hurt his career."

Yao is China's best-known athlete and has contracts with several Olympic sponsors including McDonald's and Coca-Cola. He is believed to earn about $25 million alone in sponsorship deals and is being heavily marketed across China in the run-up to the Games.
