Ok first of all TMac should be in his prime right now not his descent. But we all see how that is going, then Yao gets his leg snapped by his own player. Chuck Hayes has now brought down Shaq and Yao, who else can say they have stopped those two? It is just soo sad to see all our potential and talent go right down the drain for another year. What did we ever do to upset the basketball gods?
