But sorry, there is no time for Yao Ming to carry out the necessary training. Why? He has to spent the whole off season to attend the higher-than-NBA training camp of the China National Team. I think the Rockets had been looking for opportunities to provide the necessary training similiar to those suggested by you for Yao Ming . But I do not think that that kind of thinking has yet met with the APPROVAL of the Chinese National Team. I think Yao should better stay with the China National Team than joining the Rockets or any other NBA team.I am a big fan of Yao Ming. But when it touches a matter of principle, I have to tell the truth. Big Yao, good analysis and excellent adivice. But sorry, there is no time for Yao Ming to carry out the necessary training. Why?

In no history of basketball you have a guy 7 ‘6 that are 20+ 10+ 2+ blocks and 86% free throw. But …YAO can be better. I propose a training regime for big YAO. Three types of training he should focus and do it repeatedly. 1 – rebound - (he’s good but he can be better) we need three guys power forward/forward inside the paint and have guys outside taking all sorts of shot and also drive in and have YAO box out opponents and get all the rebounds he can. He should only focus in getting rebounds and do this repeatedly for a 1000 times. 2- block shots - (he’s is good but he can be better) we again need three guys that mostly forward/power forward in the paint and we have guard outside drive it to the hoop or other center/forward taking hook shots. YAO would be in the middle paint altering shots, intimidating and leap to contest and block all shots in the lane. When he is there means the lane is closed. Again he should only focus on this and do this repeatedly for thousands of times and nothing else. 3- Dunking – we need three guys power forward / forward in the paint with YAO. We need guys guard/forward doing all kinds of pass to YAO in the paint and have YAO only way of scoring is dunking and nothing other wise. Do this only and repeatdly for like a thousand times. If YAO does this repeatedly in training and only this, it can be a instinct he can do this with his eyes closed in the game. He will become the most dominating BIG MAN ever to play the game of basketball. He will be a legend and like I said in no basketball history you have any guy who is 7 6’ that is as dominate as BIG YAO with 20+, 10+ and 2+ blocks with 86% free throw shooter and NEVER EVER will you have someone like him.

There is no dout about his talent and skill. His problem is he has not been in a good team yet. This year, he has an additional problem which is a disastrous coach. You have covered nearly every problem of the Rockets ; but you omitted the most important one which is the head coach who is the ultimate person responsible for the success or failure of the team. He cannot get away from that. He should step down, if he has the courage. MJ, I agree to all the comments you made, except those for Tracy. There is no dout about his talent and skill.

Unless there are dramatic changes, which are not likely under Disaster Idleman, the players, led by Disaster, will be enjoying their holidays during the playoffs period.

People leave him alone on the 3pt line for a reason, because they know it is much safer to let him shoot then let him pass to Yao or other team mates, he usually makes the opponent's coach very happy when he shoots 3s. Hays, can't shoot besides dunks or lay up, doesn't know how to shoot free throws, this is a joke and an embarrassment for a pro, even Shaq doesn't do what he does. Often made bad or poor decisions at the crunch time. Battier, up and down, can't be trusted for 3points, either 5 for 6, or 1 for 9, Rudy Gay was a better choice, but GM fracked it up. now you have a small forward can't hit most of the 3s. Tracey, a true "MUST-LOSE" leader, doesn't know how to jell his team together, often forced ill-advised jumpers, look at the status, 20 points often take him to make 30 shots, look at Yao, 50% and up, free-throw is almost a guarantee. 4 years, can not and will not bring rox to second rounds. If this dude knows how to get his team mates involved in the game first, make his team mates hot first, and takes over the game, ONLY when his team mates are not going anywhere, rox has a little hope, trying to be a 50% jump shooter, and getting worst and worst on his poor shots selection, he can ONLY and will bring rox to the ground and even to hell. Arron, Mike, Steve, Luis and Bonzi must become starters, let those starters sit on the bench and learn a few lessons from these guys. If starters can not provide winning result, they have to let other guys try it. As long as these 4 guys on the court, rox's end result will be a Dejavu from last year. peace MJ Alston, can’t hit open jumpers, can’t hit 3s, can’t finish around the rim, got blocked for lay up.

If these 5 players are in playoff as starters together, the result would be the same or even worst than last season. Break them. Get Brooks, Scola in the starting lineup, that is the only hope for rox for a better record. MJ Alston, Hays, Battier and McGrady must go.

It was not coincidental, but two in a row. There is no wonder why his scoring is so low. But I still could not believe that he is starting for an NBA team. Poor Rockets.
