The Houston Rockets with a pair of titles to their credit couldn't get
the job done last year, but with some skillful moves/trades they may be a
serious contender for the Bulls. Hakeem sure is a big help to the Dream
team.

The Rockets should make a major move for Charles Barkley if they want to
give the Bulls a run next year.

They came close to beating the Jazz just like the Jazz came close to beating the
Bulls. But close doesn't count for much.

Yao, in a Q&A with the Denver Post:
Q: Would you like to be more popular than Tiger Woods?
A: "It's not something that I would really want. It's too tiring."
Q: What are your favorite English words?
A: "Last question."

"He is a great person. He is a wonderful person. He has a great sense of
humor," he said. "He is 22-years-old, but he is mature beyond his years. And
it is funny, at 29, I think I can learn a lot from him."
And Yao is learning a lot from his translator, Colin Pine, who lives with
Yao and his parents in a house in suburban Houston.
"His English is getting better and better. We talk in English a lot. Just to
practice, we try to have conversations in English," he said. "You know, he
will be independent and that is the goal. I do not know at what time [when].
But it is going to happen sooner, rather than later."
Pine says Yao is getting used to life in the United States.
"He has been here several times before, so I do not think it is as much of
an adjustment as people think. He does not have a lot of time to go out and
see things, so I think it is tough," Colin said. " But I think he adapts
well to everything. So, I think, no matter where he is, or would be, he
would be able to adapt. "
