I sympathize with you on your problem and understand how uncomfortable/painful it could be because I am having problem with mine as well - all from pushing hands (Taiji training) and tennis. Anyhow, you deserve a little break - I don't recall you have ever taken an extended break since the beginning of your blog when you wrote the play by play account of the games. I enjoy reading your detailed analysis of the games and hope to see you up and running again. By the way, your voice analysis is just as good - I don't mind either method you use to bring us the commentaries. Good luck! <em>thank you for the kind words. I hope your pain can also get treated before it gets chronic. i should only have to miss one game, so the timing is really good for this since i'll probably only miss the 76er game on tuesday, then be back at it a few days later in time for the game against the spurs. -- thanks, john</em> Thank you, John, for the updates and letting us know about your surgery on your shoulder.

It is a good voice, though I wouldnt' go as far as Arthur and call it sexy (and you wouldnt want that from a guy, anyway, I would hope.)

I guess I have always taken you and this site for granted, figuring as long as Yao played for the NBA, this site would always be here. It would be terrible if you were not able to write here anymore due to the problem with your shoulder. So first, let me apologize for not giving you props for keeping this site updated for the last several years, and here's my thanks for all the work and effort you put into this site to keep it running and updated with the latest info on Yao! I hope your surgery is a success and a part of success is to keep a positive mindset. I'm sure it'll go well. You'll be in my prayers. <em>thank you. it's always good to hear from a long-time reader. good night. -- john</em> Hey there,

It is so nice to hear your voice after reading your comments for over 5 years. Hopefully, you may use both in the future, even after your fully recover from the shoulder surgery. I have always enjoyed your game summary, wich is unique, truthful, and full of wisdom. By the way, I heard that there are some software out there to convert the recorded voice into typed form. Good luck with your surgery and have a speedy recovery. Before you enter the surgery room, think about all of the people who care about you, love you and need you, including the fans on this board. If you give us an address, we can send card to you. Zoe <em>zoe, thanks for the very kind words. no need to send a card, that will make me feel like i'm sick. you guys have done enough with you donations. if i get lonesome, i'll post something on the site to make me feel connected to all of you. -- john</em> Dear John:

Hope your shoulder gets better bro. SCOLA......NICE!!!! John do you remember about 10 days agao when I mentioned that the rockets needed a winning streak? Well we got it buddy. Here is a lsit of the rockets next 4 HOME games: 1/13: New orleans 1/15: 76ers 1/19: Spurs 1/21: Seattle I think thier toughest matchup will be New orleans, simply because they are better at the guard spot, especially w/ the way that bobby jackson is playing off the bench. Yao should be able to dominate Chandler. I feel this is a game that we would need TMAC because he is a tall guard, but we need TMAC as a POST/forward player, and not a shooting guard. I dont know why Adelman doesnt play tmac more in the post.??..?? Anywayz I really feel we can go 3-1 if not 4-0 for the next 4 home games. I feel that the spurs have hit a wall.....dont know why, but they seem to be getting the attitude that SHAQ has....Once in the playoffs we can turn it up... what do you think John, Do we have a chance now w/ how the team is focused on TEAM basketball...>>> Thanks Jim <em>thanks, jim. if the rockets continue to play this way, i think they could be the team everyone thought they would be, and maybe even make a golden state kind of run like the warriors did last year, with a #8 seed beating a #1 seed. -- john</em> Nice analysis John.

what do you think John, Do we have a chance now w/ how the team is focused on TEAM basketball…>>>

Thanks

thanks, jim. if the rockets continue to play this way, i think they could be the team everyone thought they would be, and maybe even make a golden state kind of run like the warriors did last year, with a #8 seed beating a #1 seed. — john
