Yao?

[garth]

I just saw something on another site indicating that Yao may be out tonight in LA. I've been thinking about playing the Rockets. The line just went to +5.5 and 6. Anybody know anything for sure about Yao's status tonight?

Saw the line move also so probably true. Looking for more info. ALready took the points with Houston

both teams r hott dunno what to take esp since kobe n tmac dun play one n one enough

[BearDown]

ALready took the points with Houston

Same here. Hope it still works out for us.

anyone like the wiz tonight vs. blazers, no miles i hear and maybe the under ?

[therealdeal]

where u hear yao is out, i checked rotoworld.com n nuttin there

[garth]

deal, It was on another discussion board. A reputable poster there said that he had already flown back to Houston. But I haven't been able to confirm anything from a primary source. I've only seen it on the one site. So, don't take it as the gospel.

[therealdeal]

i took the over anyway figure if he's out rockets open it up with the small guys if he plays he scores a lot.

[champs]

I would consider it confirmed as I heard that Yao was out on the radio broadcast of the Lakers.

[therealdeal]

usa today got him out for personal reasons, anyone takin lakers

[garth]

I went ahead and put in a small play on the Rockets +6. I think TMac takes up the slack in this one.

[checkers]

Yao was reported back to China for bird flu check...:christmas

[garth]

14-12 at the end of the first qtr. Damn. This one's on pace for a 104 total.

I got lucky tonight as I played the Lakers in first half after news and kept my original bet on Houston for game.
