Yao is back
Looks like Yao Ming has recovered well from his injury, today going up against the Orlando Magic and walking away with a win and 37 points, seven boards and four blocks in 36 minutes.
In three warm up games in which he never played more than 30 minutes, Yao had 16 and 11, 11 and 5 (19 minutes) and 24 and 13.
He is averaging 25 PPG and 9.5 RPG this season.
Could his form make the Rockets a legitimate post-season threat?
ESPN's John Hollinger thinks Yao is a chance of breaking the Top Ten Centres of All Time list (recently discussed on Hoops).
If he stays healthy, I think it's inevitable - the bottom end of that all-time list, as Hollinger notes, is a bit "soft".
