Yao Ming is back in the rotation for the Houston Rockets after missing two games with a bruised knee, but the team and its All-Star center seem to be frustrated. Yao had 13 points and five turnovers in a 95-93 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night."I don't know how to play basketball now," said Yao, in this Houston Chronicle report. "I forget what is my game."
Yao, Ron Artest, Tracy McGrady and Shane Battier were finally all healthy and on the court together, but the Rockets couldn't hold on to a late lead over the 76ers. Yao sounded especially frustrated after the game, saying: "Coach said that we have to learn from this game. Why do we keep learning this game? Learning from these games means we lost again, and this happened again, and this happened months ago and two months ago. And now it is the end of January, and we are still learning. When is the end?"
Houston faces the Golden State Warriors Saturday at home.
