This sucks. I have him on one of my fantasy teams, and he is on the "cant cut list" so it wont let me drop him....can that change with injury?

Rockets board only I presume then?

He knows most people here had problems with him, which is why we all kind of bolted around the same time, it just got old.

Last I talked to him though, he was still a Magic fan.

Too bad for Yao.

Stress fracture?

His is so big, is anyone really surprised at this?

Best of luck to a solid recovery.

guess who wrote that

I think its time to get rid of Yao. It seems he cannot support himself. His feet are always in danger and always seem to be a problem. Broken legs...broken feet. Look if we are trading him that means he is injury prone and not many people will touch that. But this seems to be recurring every year. There is always something wrong with his feet and its probably due to his size and that if he falls funny one time he is in danger of breaking something.

This is no coincidence....this is something that will continue to haunt him.

Gotta feel bad for McGrady. This is the most success he has ever had..12 game win streak in such a competitive conference. IMO T-Mac will ask for a trade and I will be with him on that. Both of em are injury prone but Yao's injuries always seem to be more serious and always involve his feet which makes you think he cannot support his weight when he falls and he falls a lot.

Crappy look for the Rockets...just got the task of breaking this to my friend who's a Rockets fan lol

As for Iggy, some people here have an unhealthy obsession with him...he's an okay dude from my perspective.

Me Mac will need another miracle to break out of his 1st Round curse.

Sucks for Yao. Great guy and he carries that team.

Could be, as I don't have the history with him as others do.

But from my observations, he had an unhealthy obsession with Me-Mac.

Looking at the schedule, I still think that the Rockets can make it into the playoffs. They have a real easy slate ahead of them and I expect somewhere around 48 wins which should be enough for the 8 seed. There is no way that 8 teams finish with 49 wins in the west with their being so many of the good teams playing each other in the coming months. A lineup of Alston, Jackson, McGrady, Scola, Battier, Mutombo, Landry (sleeper), and maybe PJ Brown can go 13-13 the rest of the way. That would put them at 49 wins and in the Playoffs. Especially with how well they have been playing.

I don't know iggy real well but he left our board to ride TMac's jock, and then Yao get's injured and he is more conscerned about TMac and hoping TMac asks for a trade so he can follow him to another board. That is pretty pathetic if he wrote that. It must suck not having a team and following a has been athlete to every team he moves to.

Iggy left our board because people were and are idiots here, period.

As I mentioned, he went to a different forum and was talking Magic ball with me when I got sick of this forum as well.

I don't know if he's any longer a Magic fan, but that's the reason both he and Lucky (and I) left -- too much immature discussion here and ghastly homerism.
