In tonight's Rockets - Thunder game Tmac left in the 3rd with knee pain and did not return. He told the Chronicle after the game that he will have an MRI on Tuesday and may have to shut it down for a while.

In the same game in the 4th period Yoa tweaked his ankle a bit but they said he is fine and then with a minute to go Artest looked like he sprained his ankle colliding with the cameramen under the basket. He got up in pain and limped off. They don't know his status.

So we could play them on Wed. with no McGrady and Artest...and blow a nice lead in the 4th.

Dallas always plays down to its competition. I want to play the full strength Rockets.

I doubt theyll both miss the game, but regardless as to if they do or dont, I expect a close game

Yao And Artest are going to play. Not sure about T-mac though

If thats the case, expect a big game from people like Brooks, Alston & Yao. No matter how injury depleted a team is there always seems to be some star player against us.
