I still think they will make the playoffs, either Denver or GSW will miss out, they don't play THAT badly without Yao and they still have Mutombo for an inside presence (although the amount of minutes that 40 year old body can take are questionable)
The reason for this is simply defense, they are still a good defensive team, Denver and GSW play NONE. I don't think they will make it past the first round though of course
Yao sounds more concerned with playing for China in the Olympics anyway, but I suppose he has no choice there
