We all know that Artest has been playing through his injury but what a crushing blow.
Now's the time for Mr. Yao Ming to really step up.

2 weeks? I thought it was 7-10 days

Big difference between 7 days and 14 days

Anyways it's time for Yao to step up. We're REALLY going to need guys like Barry and Luther Head to make some outside shots :-?

Thats a little bit too much to ask of Yao. We finally get a long awaited home stand and McGrady nor Artest can take part. Just our luck.

Look, this is the real thing :

On Monday, Tracy McGrady was ruled out for two weeks to work on his conditioning. At best McGrady would miss six more games, Artest five more.

The Rockets’ long uncertain injury situation gained more clarity on Tuesday, with forward Ron Artest ruled out for at least another seven to 10 days before he will be reevaluated.

Artest had missed four of the past five games and was ruled out of tonight’s game against the Lakers because of soreness related to his November ankle sprain. An MRI conducted on Sunday revealed a bon bruise, but no stress fracture.

Artest sprained his right ankle Nov. 16, but said he might have tweaked it again Nov. 2 in Toronto. Listed as day-to-day, he played only one game since but developed the bone bruise on the other side of the ankle, possibly from compensating for the new pain. Artest

That's all that needs to be said, this article is the fact, 790 is just rounding up to the estimation. They will both be back for that Knicks game on the 26th of January.

bleah.

Let's see, next 5 games are LA, Miami, Denver, Utah, Indiana. I think 3-2 is a reasonable expectation. Anything better would be a bonus. Anything less, a little disappointing.

As always, we ... must ... beat ... the ... evil ... jazz

These injuries suck....not much else more to say, no analysis, no alternative behind it, this sucks.
